The Gluten-Free Vegetarian Family Cookbook: 150 Healthy Recipes for Meals, Snacks, Sides, Desserts, and More

It’s so great that more and more cookbooks are being published that address special dietary needs. Susan O’Brien’s newest addition to the market is The Gluten-Free Vegetarian Family Cookbook, which features a wide array of recipes that are both gluten-free and meat-free, and in many cases dairy- and egg-free as well. Some of the recipes (specifically the breakfast and dessert recipes) do involve more complicated ingredients, gluten-free flours, and less common grains (all of which are available at your local health food store), but many of them involve much more commonplace ingredients that are not a challenge at all to locate. There’s never been a better time to see if a gluten-free diet can do anything for your health! For breakfast, try Oats and Apple Griddlecakes. For a light lunch, try English Pea Salad. There are heartier main dishes like Teriyaki Tofu Fajitas; side dishes like Brussels Sprouts with Maple and Mustard Glaze; and desserts like Chocolate Puffed Rice Treats. There’s even a whole section of snacks and sauces. The instructions are clearly written, the ingredient lists (generally) aren’t too daunting, even for GF newbies, and the photos will make your mouth water.
