Finally a Low Fat, Gluten-Free Cookbook!

I have owned this book for about two years, and I use it frequently. The recipes are simple, normal, and mostly delicious. I would recommend it to anyone - Celiac or not. My husband was diagnosed with Celiac three-years ago. Prior to that, I considered myself a gourmet cook. Our whole house went gluten free, and the first year had many disasterous results. After cooking everything gluten-free for three years, I can now, again, cliam to be a very good cook. I have a huge library of gluten-free cookbooks - some very good, many not so good. A huge complaint of mine is that most are high in fat, in order to replace the gluten (Some even tell you to not reduce the fat called for in a recipe.) The Reduced Calorie Cookbook has found a way to incorporate taste, and remove a lot of the fat. My thanks to you for a job well done. I should also note that an important addition to the recipes are the nutrition values. Being concerned about healthy eating, this is a must for me that lacks in most gluten-free cookbooks. BRAVO In my opinion, it is a must to try. I promise you won't be disappointed. Eating gluten-free doesn't have to be eating taste-free.

Finally, a reduced calorie cookbook and it taste great!

Finally, a reduced calorie cookbook and it taste great. So far I have only tried a few recipes, but they tasted great that the whole family liked it. I hope to use this cookbook many times in the future.

Incredible, Healthy Recipes!

Connie Sarros has done it again! I now have all the cookbooks in Sarros' Gluten-Free series, and this one is just as amazing as the others. It's hard to believe these recipes are healthy let alone gluten free! I receive compliments on these recipes all the time and my family prefers to eat gluten-free now! This book is easy-to-read, and provides many useful tips for cooks of all skill ranges.
