Book Reviews of Gluten-Free Girl: How I Found the Food That Loves Me Back...And How You Can Too

Book Review: Inspiration, with recipes
Summary: 4 Stars

As someone who has been living gluten-free for 9 years now, I already know the hidden places where gluten lurks, how to mix up a good gluten-free flour blend, and how hard the problem is to diagnose. But this breezy, uplifting and charming memoir contained so much more than "just the facts" about celiac disease. Ahern's reminiscences of the Wonder bread sandwiches, mushroom-soup casseroles and TV dinners of her youth will ring true to anyone who grew up post-1960. While laughing with the author about all those "modern convenience" foods, we also feel the pain of her overweight youth and on-again, off-again symptoms of intenstinal malfunction. Written in extremely short, readable chapters that are loosely topically grouped, the author's blogging background serves her topic and her readers well, allowing her to cover everything from personal revelations to detailed information on little-known gluten-free flours. Sprinkled throughout are recipes celiacs will rejoice over, like pizza dough and crusty sorghum bread, along with recipes for foodies everywhere like Meyer lemon sorbet and rosemary-lemon roast chicken. The fig cookie recipe sounded so amazing I immediately got up and made a batch and all I can say is . . . OMG they really do taste like Fig Newtons, only WAY BETTER. This is a book that will see repeated use as I make my way, like Julie through the Julia Child cookbook, through every single recipe.

An entire generation was raised to believe that cooking meant opening a box, ripping off the plastic wrap, adding water, or popping it in the microwave. Gluten-Free Girl, with its gluten-free healthful approach, seeks to bring a love of eating back to our diets. Living gluten-free means having to give up traditional bread, beer, pasta, as well as the foods where gluten likes to hide?such as store-bought ice cream, chocolate bars, even nuts that might have been dusted with flour. However, Gluten-Free Girl shows readers how to say yes to the foods they can eat. Written by award-winning blogger Shauna James, who became a interested in food once she was diagnosed with celiac disease and went gluten-free, Gluten-Free Girl is filled with funny accounts of the author?s own life including wholesome, delicious recipes, this book will guide readers to the simple pleasures of real, healthful food. Includes dozens of recipes like salmon with blackberry sauce, sorghum bread, and lemon olive oil cookies as well as resources for those living gluten-free.
