Easy Gluten Free Cooking

Anyone with gluten allergies knows how difficult it is to come up with meals or even to enjoy a home baked treat. However that's all going to change with a new cookbook Bob's Red Mill Everyday Gluten-Free Cookbook.There are all sorts of recipes from baked goods to even salads that will help improve lives and diets. They're also great for those who just want a healthier lifestyle without sacrificing variety and style.

The book was written by Dr  CamillaV. Saulsbury  and published by the food centric publisher, Robert Rose.Dr Saulsbury is a food instructor and a big fan of what's known as ancient grains. These are quinoa , amaranth , millet  teff and psyllium., These have been around for millennia, being cooked and eaten from the ancient Japanese to the  Aztecs. Many home chefs  shy away from these because they feel that the grains are hard to get or expensive. This is farther from the truth . These grains are easily accessible and easy to cook with (think polenta).Each grain is explained and there are instructions on how to cook them on their own(add some butter and spices and they make excellent sides) Dr. Saulsbury includes an extensive guide to these different grains along with one for spices and herbs. I like that she also has a how to guide for selecting free range and organic eggs as well as one defining the different types of milk from cow to almond and hemp.

The cookbook has a wide variety of international recipes. There are crepes made with both millet and sorghum flours,huevos rancheros with amaranth along with amaranth paella.Kids will love this book too. There are fun enchiladas and burgers plus a a yummy array of baked treats.. Chocolate chip cookies are made with an ancient grains combo of  millet, oats and chia seeds {yes, those chia seeds like those of a chia Pet) along with cocoa chia gelato that has a surprise ingredient , dates for solidness.The cookbook is excellent for those who want to eat healthier as well. Dr. Saulsbury puts all natural ingredients  as well as lean meats and fish in all of main meals.Chicken and salmon figure large in these  as well as tuna. Salads are a mix of brightly colored good for you veggies blended with all sorts of grains and spices.The sides are delicious as well and some like teff polenta can easily be made into the main dish.

Gluten free cooking doesn't have to be boring and bland. Bob's Red Mill Everyday  Gluten - Free Cookbook is testament to that with its' wide array of dishes and treats. They are not only healthy , but flavorful and exciting.
