Nearly Normal  
I bought a container of GF cookies and a sticker showed the cover of the book, as the recipe had come from it. The flour mix is great I have substituted it in many of my own personal recipes. I do not like the fact that some recipes call for PHO's but I just change to butter or saflower oil and it still works out fine.

Incomplete copy alert 4/08  
An April 2008 order resulted in an incomplete copy of this book. The cookbook had 89 pages and appeared to be complete as its final page was blank except for a bar code. Because it was missing dessert recipes referenced in other reviews, I suspected it was a partial copy. Contact with Jules Shepard and reference to Amazon's Search Inside confirmed this. The replacement book was complete but I wanted to alert other Amazon customers of a possible printing run error on this book.

I appreciate Jules giving out her flour mix recipe as I have always liked to cook from scratch. I have had mixed results with the gluten-free pre-made mixes that are on the market. My daughter is gluten-intolerant and very picky about texture and taste. The chocolate chip cookie recipe is a real winner with her. I'm looking forward to trying out other recipes and using the flour mix in favorite family recipes. Thanks Jules!

The Best Gluten Free Cookbook EVER!!!!  
If you are gluten sensitive and miss the taste of cookies filled with gluten - then buy this book and try the Chocolate Chip Cookie 1 recipe.
I love to bake and have been frustrated since diagnosed - UNTIL I tried this recipe. I was so excited after eating the first cookie, I immediately sent the author an email. Not only did I get a prompt response, but received answers to other baking questions I had. I'm now trying Jules' other recipes and am just as impressed!

cook book  
So far, this is the BEST gluten free recipe book I have found. The food tastes more like "real" food than any others I've bought

informative and tasty  
This cookbook is such a tremendous resource, especially for those newly-diagnosed and struggling to make a drastic lifestyle change. Every time I get a new copy I find myself giving it away!

The fact that Jules gives us the recipe for her own gluten-free flour is astounding b/c it is truly interchangeable with any recipe calling for wheat flour. Have you checked the prices of and tasted other gluten-free flours recently? Costly and nothing to brag about, so I don't understand the previous reviewer's comment about the book being nothing but a plug for her product. Her only 'product' is providing information and recipes for those wanting to cook and eat gluten free.

Go ahead and use the flour recipe found in the introduction to make the scones on pg.94; then you can thank Jules for the generousity of sharing her flour recipe (that she could easily charge for) because you really can't tell that they're gluten-free. And as for the dried beef comment --all I can say is, "where's the beef?" Nowhere in this book could I find a recipe calling for dried beef because, as the reviewer said, ewww.
