Free of gluten, sugar, and usually dairy, these tasty dishes are also invaluable for people living with medical conditions such as candida, fibromyalgia, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, autism, and ADHD, who must avoid certain foods to better control their symptoms.

Summary: An innovative change in cooking without gluten and sugar...
Comment: Sugars seem to cause negative behavior issues in our daughter. We decided to check out other ways of eating and cooking. This cookbook along with one on cooking with stevia instead of sugar has opened a new world that our whole family seems to be enjoying. Her negative behaviors have since decreased, she's more focused, all of our stress levels have gone down and we feel it is due to eliminating glutens, splenda (sucralose), all other sugar substitutes, refined sugar, and replacing them with Stevia (the plant leaves, the liquid form and Truvia (the granular form). Thanks for offering this book and any others to people like us. You were very timely in getting the book to us and we were able to use a couple recipes for this years Christmas and our guests couldn't believe the wonderful tasting recipes! Thank you again and keep up the good service! Lynette

Summary: A Family and Consumer Science Teacher's Point of View
Comment: I was immediately attracted to this book just because of the title. I obviously can't have flour and sugar. I actually haven't cooked anything from the book, but will this Thanksgiving. The hardest part I know about not being able to eat flour and white sugar for health reasons is feeling deprived of desserts and baked goods. When you love to bake this is torture! I seem some very edible and tasty recipes for baking. I am however, not so impressed with the main course. The author assumes you will eat some strange things that many people do not like or may find hard to get. If you live in a rural area, you are going to struggle getting some of these ingredients for all the recipes in the book. However, I'm sure you can shop online for them. Buy it just for the baked goods, but don't expect to change your dinner menu all that much.

Summary: Love this book
Comment: I have made about 10 of the receipes in this book and each one has turned out terrific. This was the first cookbook I found when I found out I needed to stay away from gluten and while I was already eating sugar-free, the book has helped blend the two together. The receipes are simple and not too many ingredients.
