Everyday Grain-Free Gourmet provides delectable, easy-to-digest dishes that appeal to family and guests who have food limitations which simply must be accommodated. Unlike other gluten-free cookbooks, this one offers traditional favorites in whole-foods, low-lactose, refined-sugar-free versions. Moreover, this book is ideal for anyone who wants or needs to improve their health through diet, including those with lactose intolerance, celiac disease, Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome.

The benefits of a whole-foods diet are addressed in special sections of the book. The authors also include important information on kitchen tools and equipment, food storage and menu-planning, plus a list of health-related resources.

Some of the mouthwatering recipes are:

Brie and apple crêpes
Caesar salad with ginger aïoli vinaigrette
Vegetable quiche
Curry risotto
Cannelloni
Osso bucco
Heavenly hazelnut ice cream.

Every breakfast, lunch and dinner dish is great for the entire family, yet meets the strict limitations and standards of grain-restricted diets.

Great Book! Easy to follow Recipes

I was just about to post my review of Jodi and Jenny's second book and
was quite surprised by T. Wagner's comments. First of all, dairy
is absolutely allowed on the SCD in abundance as long as you use certain
kinds of dairy. I also found the recipe repeats in this book (which
there are only a few at the beginning) to be really helpful because it
meant that I didn't have to flip through their first book (which I
love!) to find basic recipes like yogurt, yogurt cheese and tomato
paste. I highly recommend this new book and found it to be a great
sequel to their first.

Not as impressed

I have used their first cookbook and liked a few of the recipes. This book seems super heavy on dairy, which shouldnt really be eaten that regularly for SCD. I, personally, cannot tolerate ANY dairy, so this cookbook version was not at all helpful. A few recipes are also repeats from their first book---which they warn you about in the preface, but amazon doesnt allude to this in the product description and maybe they should...although I imagine that would deter buyers. I will be returning it promptly!

Go Grain-Free! It Does A Body A LOT Of Good!

One of the hallmarks of the healthy low-carb lifestyle is avoiding not just refined carbohydrates like sugars, but also choosing to avoid those so-called healthy whole grains as well. For some people who have celiac disease, they don't have the luxury of choosing whether they eat grains or not--they cannot or they might die. Consuming gluten-free foods is invaluable for the health of people with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and celiac disease. This recipe book is not explicitly low-carb in nature, although there are many recipes included that are entirely appropriate for livin' la vida low-carb. The main thing you'll get is an education about why it is important to eat specific kinds of carbs, an explanation about why eating fat is good for you, and stocking your cabinets with the key ingredients necessary to make these delicious recipes. Bon appetit!

Great resource

This book is one of the better cookbooks I've had the pleasure of using. I am on the SCD diet for Ulcerative Colitis and the recipes included are of the kind that you truly will use every day. Multiple uses and variations are detailed. For instance the recipe for crepes is not only indicated for breakfast or fancy desserts, but is used for sandwich wraps as well. The Muffin Mix Muffins are better than you could make 'out of the box'. My wife made pancakes for me to have at a Father's Day breakfast and gave samples to the other men. They raved about how good they were! I highly recommend this book to anyone on the SCD diet, and even to those who are NOT on the diet. Healthy and delicious, too. Who could ask for more?

VERY CREATIVE!!!

This book opens another chapter what you CAN eat. It's very creative and fits the bill for gourmet. Great for anyone wanting some no grain/no sugar/no lactose/no bakers yeast alternatives. It had alot of recipes that I have not seen in the other Specific Carb Cookbooks. I hope the authors continue the creative path for this diet. We have our son on this diet for ASD and GI tract problems. The latest curveball is his diet has to be rotated due to food allergies. I would love to see these gals do more with other nut flours and eggless dishes, because I'm sure it would be creative.
