Gluten Free Recipes for the Conscious Cook – A book Review

I have discovered a wonderful cookbook by Leslie Cerier called “gluten-free recipes for the conscious cook” A seasonal, vegetarian cookbook.
Leslie, “The Organic Gourmet” is a national authority on gluten free cooking and baking. She is the author of several cookbooks including “Going Wild in the Kitchen”
The foreword was written by Kathie Madonna Swift, MS, RD, a registered dietitian, licensed nutritionist and co-director of Food as Medicine.
This book will teach you to cook like an artist! (Check out pages 5 – 10 incl.)
Chapter one is called “meet the gluten-free grains” To me this is a great way to start any cookbook and it gets better from here.
This book contains a wide variety of easy to follow recipes and each one comes with variations. This is the book you want when planning an elegant dinner party.
My favourite recipes in this book are:
Chocolate Mousse Pie in a Hazelnut Crust
Oat and Raisin Muffins
Wild Rice and Cranberry Pilaf
And Millet and Sweet Carrots
There are also tips and helpful hints such as Great Garnishes which is found on page 149 and Whole Grains in a Hurry (cooking times) on page 29.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who lives gluten free.
