Product Description
The only gluten-free cookbook you'll ever need--simple, delicious recipes that taste just like the real thing, with variations for multiple food sensitivities.

A pioneer in gluten-free cooking, Roben Ryberg has worked with gluten-free flours for over 15 years. Now, in You Won't Believe It's Gluten-Free!, she vastly simplifies the challenges of this special diet--while perfecting the flavor of everyone's favorite foods.

Completely comprehensive, You Won't Believe It's Gluten-Free! offers 500 recipes for all kinds of breads and baked goods, plus easy appetizers, soups, entrees, and salads to win over any crowd. It also features desserts for special occasions--even wedding cakes! Unlike the standard use of three or more flour blends, these recipes often call for just one flour, and many recipes include corn, potato, rice, and oat flour variations. This is an essential cooking bible for anyone with celiac disease, wheat allergy, IBS, or other gluten sensitivities.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.5 based on 10 reviews)

Variety, ease, a pretty darn good book!

This is a great book for finding a recipe that is quick, easy, and not as expensive. I have tried several of Roben's recipes, and I don't think I have had a bad experience with any of them! Granted, I wish there were more cookie recipes (I had to buy a different book with Christmas coming and all) but this is a top notch book if you enjoy preparing quick and easy dishes from scratch. If you have ever made biscuits from scratch, gluten or not, you know how much of a joy it is to be able to make them in 30 minutes, start to finish!

Try the cinnamon rolls, coffee cake, rolls, biscuits (my favorite!!), muffins, soups.. just try them all! It's exciting to see that you can make nearly anything, using one flour that matches your dietary needs (I'm addicted to potato starch now) and have fun with it!

Not as thorough as Bette Hagman's series, but for a busy family person who is looking to mimmick gluten-filled foods, this is the PERFECT book for you!

My Copy Is Already Well Worn...

Because I use it so much. This is a great book and I highly recommend it to anyone starting out on the gluten-free diet. These quick and easy recipes are great for those of us who cannot afford to spend long hours in the kitchen just to get a homemade meal at night. This is a great buy for anyone with kids or young adults who are still learning about cooking. Roben did a great job with this book!

I'd rather eat gluten

I feel so bad for the people that gave this book a good review. Those poor souls must be eating the worst food ever and must be miserable with their GF diets.
Not only are the recipes awful but the author isn't even gluten intolerant and would probably never eat these dishes even if she was paid to. She knocks very quality, highly nutritious grains like quinoa and teff while telling people that it is okay to eat oats. People with gluten intolerance should be warned that oats are not gluten-free unless certified. The cross-contamination of oats with other glutinous grains are something to watch out for.
I was really excited at first to see a chapter on pasta dishes until I discovered that the author instructs the cook to go out and purchase gluten free pasta!! I mean, what kind of GF book is this? A good GF book would teach me how to make GF pasta from scratch.
And every "from scratch" recipe in this book I tried turned out to be a runny, oily mess or tough and hard to chew or crunchy and crumbly. It seems as though these recipes were never even tested. And it is obvious that the author hasn't done any research on gluten-free baking or food science. She doesn't seem to understand that in order to have great results, you MUST COMBINE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT GLUTEN-FREE GRAINS!!!
This book is so awful that I'd rather be sick from eating gluten than to eat anything that comes out of the gluten-free recipes.

If anyone wants to eat some truly delicious gluten-free baking and cooking, please find any of Bette Hagman's 6 Gluten-Free Gourmet books. I only have Living Well Without Wheat but EVERYTHING that I've made from it has knocked the socks off of all my gluten loving friends. Now THOSE recipes are certainly sure to inspire.

You Won't Believe It's Gluten-Free!: 500 Delicious, Foolproof Recipes for Healthy Living

I have made quite a few recipes of this book, and all were very very good, even if there're quite simple and easy to make. I highly recommend it.

Simpler (and CHEAPER) Gluten-Free Eating

I'm thrilled to have finally found recipes that don't require lots of special flours and extra steps, yet yield delicious results. I made the corn-based banana bread this week, and it was as good as any I've ever tasted. In fact, when my mom stopped by and tried some, she wanted the recipe. (And she can eat gluten!)

The hamburger rolls turned out great, too. One batch made 8 rolls, (using cornmeal and cornstarch.) That recipe alone will save us a small fortune, as I have been buying the pricey frozen ones at the health food store.
