Mastering Your Gluten and Dairy Free Kitchen

Book excerpt: In Mastering Your Gluten & Dairy Free Kitchen, a professional chef and culinary consultant shares her vast knowledge and delicious recipes so that those diagnosed with Celiac disease or food sensitivity to wheat, gluten, dairy and casein can benefit from a quick and delicious diet. When Einat Mazor's six-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac disease, Mazor was determined to create a diet rich in diverse flavors and textures so her daughter could continue to enjoy food just as she always had. Mazor shares her personal story along with simple and scrumptious recipes that will help guide anyone who needs to change the way they think about food but doesn't know where to begin. Mazor teaches how to avoid gluten and dairy in a diet and provides a list of the essential ingredients for a well-stocked pantry. Recipes begin with an anecdote and include clear directions for such tasty dishes as cinnamon French toast, Chinese spring roll wrappers, meatballs kabobs, best birthday cake, quinoa cookies and more. This cookbook provides valuable information for those on a gluten and dairy free diet as well as for parents of children with autism who are attempting to alleviate symptoms through dietary changes.
