Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Traditional baking is hard enough, so Gluten-free baking, which often calls for a much wider set of ingredients than simply yeast, salt, and water, only adds to the complexity. Thankfully, veteran cookbook author Ellen Brown (Gluten-Free Holiday Baking, The Sausage Cookbook Bible, Mac & Cheese, etc.) is here to help, guiding readers through the process. Brown also does an admirable job of including the most popular breads such as French baguettes, brioche, pizza dough, hamburger buns, and even corn tortillas in addition to surprises like ciabatta, naan, and bacon and cheese cornbread. Her focus here is on practicality and applicability-Brown takes her time explaining the process. By letting readers know what to expect each step of the way ("when the yeast looks frothy, add the olive oil and mix well"), she instills confidence and also helps to ensure the end result turns out as intended. This is a terrific guide for those willing to put in the time and effort. (Oct.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

Review by Library Journal Review

Following in the footsteps of Bette Hagman's The Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread: More Than 200 Wheat-Free Recipes, Brown draws on her 30 years of food writing (All Wrapped Up; Gluten-Free Holiday Baking) to champion simple and elegant gluten-free cooking. By using her experience as a baker, the author gives the reader a full course in gluten-free baking, discussing techniques, the best way to use ingredients, and the differences between gluten-free and wheat dough. A variety of recipes are on offer here, from simple banana bread to a rich brioche. Although readers may have to hunt in specialty or health food stores for some of the ingredients (tapioca flour, ground chia seeds), Brown keeps the directions well within the reach of the home baker. Verdict A welcome guide to baking artistry for gluten-free cooks as well as anyone interested in expanding their baking repertoire.-Ginny Wolter, Toledo-Lucas Cty. P.L. (c) Copyright 2013.
