Best Resource so far by L. Sanders (Oregon)  5 Stars
November 08, 2009
We've been living with CD for a few years but just recently got an actual diagnosis. As a mom worried about cooking for both a CD husband and non-CD children (so far), I was getting quite discouraged. I've owned a Bette Hagman book for a year or so and have NOT been successful with any of the Hagman recipes. Everything in the Hagman book has come out too dry, crumbly and shapeless for breads.
This book has greatly encouraged me and given me a sense that everything is going to work out just fine. It is super informative about the disease, some hidden glutens, the flours, has personal stories, tackles a bit the issue of dining out and links to possible GF places to eat out, has information about support groups, a Holiday food chapter, birthday, everyday recipes and much more.
The very first recipe I tried from this book was the Southern cornbread and it was a big hit at our house. My picky eating husband and small children gobbled it up alongside the soup I had made. I can't wait to try more of her bread type recipes and cakes. This book was just what I needed and will be recommended to everyone who is looking for some direction.
The only minor negative I've found, which I may have missed the information on, is that some of the recipes call for vanilla dairy. I do not see an explaination anywhere as to what that actiually is. If it is a dairy product, she should give a nondairy alternative for it. She gives some information on dairy alternatives but not enough. I do wish that CD books and guides would cover this better as most people who develop Celiac Disease also have to deal with the lactose intolerance. The author said there were a lot of options but didn't thoroughly go into them.
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with Celiac Disease make sure this is one of the books you borrow or purchase!

I'm newly diagnosed and I only wish I'd got this immediately. It is very valuable as you begin your journey with this new lifestyle. Worth the read, a good resource to have.

Hope for the Celiac by V. Rivera (San Antonio) 5 Stars
July 17, 2009
When diagnosed with Celiac, I read everything I could get my hands on concerning the disease. I had the facts, the recipes, and a grim determination to face the difficulty of the rest of my life. This book was like rain to the parched earth of my soul. Not only did it summarize everything I'd read elsewhere, but I believe it overcame the clinical feel that other books often had. I was not at a seminar in a hospital, but felt like an invited guest into a home. The personal testimonies that Jules included in the book were inspirational and triumphant. Even without the recipes, which are wonderful, these stories give hope, and as it turn out, that was what I had been lacking. I was empowered not only to think "I can do this", but "I want to do this." I very highly recommend this book to those who are diagnosed and to those who care about them.

Not what you'd expect! by Marcie Hurrell (North Hollywood,CA USA)  2 Stars
July 16, 2009
I got this as we just found out my daughter (8yrs.old.) has celiac. this book was more a personal story and input for her own products. Did not get much info . from it that I could not find on my own for free and celiac web sites. Disappointed.

Hmmmm... by KMH (Minneapolis, MN)  1 Stars
July 15, 2009
Although I have yet to read this book I am a Celiac and I just read a write-up about it in Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. The review states that the author recommends Bailey's Irish Cream as gluten-free, alcoholic beverage. Interesting, Bailey's asserts that its product is not suitable for those on a wheat or gluten-free diet. Let the reader beware.

Returning home, she pinpointed the food that made her sick -- gluten, the binding element in wheat. By simply eliminating it from her diet, she was able to enjoy a completely normal,...
