From Library Journal
Hagman's excellent first cookbook, The Gluten-Free Gourmet ( LJ 6/15/90), is filled with recipes created to let those allergic to wheat enjoy heretofore forbidden foods; now she's back with 300 more. Half of these are for the breads, desserts, and other baked goods usually denied to her readers, with more than three dozen bread recipes (most designed for the time-saving bread machine). The remainder are for appetizers, soups, side dishes, and entrees, again with the emphasis on foods usually off limits, such as crackers, pasta, tempura, quiche--even taco salad. There is a good introductory section, along with several useful appendixes. Recommended for all special diet collections.Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Responding to a flood of requests for "more, more, more," she offers more than 265 additional gluten-free recipes for tasty meals. Now with a gourmet look, this book is as irresistible as ever for gluten-intolerant chefs and their families.

ANNOTATION

In this paperback edition of her second book, Bette Hagman offers 275 gluten-free recipes, for casseroles, soups, stews, and for pies, pastries, cakes, and cookies--the sweets most often missed by those on a gluten-free diet. 44 delicious bread recipes, advice on bread machines, and sources for gluten-free products are included.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Bette Hagman's second book offers more recipes for baked goods as well as a smorgasbord of recipes for international dishes in "safe" versions -- a lovely variety of meat, poultry, seafood, rice, bean, and pasta dishes with a distinctive flair. For those who wonder how to achieve a flavorful, exotic, and gluten-free meal, this book has all the answers, from curries to tempuras and from quiches to Mexican mole. Also, this book provides more recipes for some traditional dishes such as casseroles, vegetables, soups, and tasty treats for celiac children and adults alike.

With updated, expanded lists of suppliers and celiac organizations, this indispensable book also includes an introduction by Betty Bernard, M.D., associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Southern California, who says, "More from the Gluten-free Gourmet is a superb guidebook to fine dining and the best of health for gluten-sensitive individuals."
