Blackbird Bakery Gluten Free

Maybe once or twice you might have heard me mention that my SisterB is allergic to wheat. Before this realization I never knew about a gluten-free way of life. I personally do not have a problem with wheat or gluten, but now gluten-free ingredients and recipes stand out to me. It's nice to know I'll have a few choices when my SisterB comes to visit rather than relying on her to fix the menu. (However she is an incredible cook, so that's not too bad when she does do the menu...)

The [b:Blackbird Bakery Gluten-Free: 75 Recipes for Irresistible Gluten-Free Desserts and Pastries|8602341|Blackbird Bakery Gluten-Free|Karen Morgan|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1333563213s/8602341.jpg|13472308] book has 75 recipes for irresistible desserts and pastries. And oh what a mouth-watering cover! (My cover is different from some I have seen, it has a berry/pastry in a glass container.) The notes on ingredients shares great information on gluten-free flours for a newbie like me, but anyone would benefits from these notes and tips. There are many ingredients that are new to me, but if these recipes taste anything like they look I am all for it.

- Apple-Pumpkin Muffins, p.26
- Southern-Style Corn Bread, p. 31
- Ginger Gingerbread, p.34

Just going through the first chapter, "biscuits, muffins and sweet breads" my salivary glands are on overdrive. The only qualm I have with this cookbook is that there are at least a handful of ingredients that I have looked high and low for and cannot find anywhere!
