Gluten-Free Makeovers: Over 175 Recipes--from Family Favorites to Gourmet Goodies--Made Deliciously Wheat-Free

by Beth Hillson

When Beth Hillson was diagnosed with celiac disease more than thirty years ago, she had nowhere to turn to for recipes or support. She embarked on a lifelong journey to help provide delicious and healthy food to others who cannot have wheat-as many as 1 in 133 Americans, according to recent estimates. In gluten-free Makeovers , Hillson makes over some of the most popular recipes-from celeb chef favourites to classic comfort foods, from pot pies to pizza, fig bars to croissants-so wheat-free home cooks can have their cake and eat it too. With chapters dedicated to the gluten-free kitchen, preparation basics, a resource guide on ingredient sources, and supplemental info on gluten-free living, gluten-free Makeovers offers inspiring meals for both seasoned and novice chefs alike.

My sister has a wheat allergy and from time to time I wondered if I might as well. When I first started research on living gluten and wheat free, it seemed like an impossible undertaking. So, even though now I have not found myself with an allergy I am glad to research gluten-free (GF) cookbooks both with my sister in mind, but also the other health benefits from reducing gluten from my family's diet in general.

One of the things about a good GF cookbook is when it can show you that just because your food needs have changed does not mean it is the end of the world. In fact menus can continue and deliciously so. Cookbook Author and Chef [a:Beth Hillson|5228574|Beth Hillson|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg] was a pioneer for GF cooking before it was a popular movement and continues to provide worthy recipes today. I agree with Peter Lowell in the foreward; the fact that Hillson makes recipes for foods we know and love becoming GF does not have to be an entire cultural change. This book makes it true, if you are GF now and to the future - your favorite foods are far from strangers.

My known recipe for Christmas is monkey bread and when I saw the first one in the recipes section was Apple Caramel Monkey Bread I knew I was sold.
