About this ebook

Gluten is a component of many types of grains including wheat, rye, oats, and barley. People that suffer from celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders must follow a diet that is completely free of gluten for life! Consuming a gluten-free diet on a daily basis is not an easy task and can be quite confusing. This type of diet requires that you approach eating with a different mentality. Gluten can be hard to detect when it is hidden in unfamiliar forms or used within ingredients in foods. People that either follow or care for someone who follows a gluten-free diet need the proper education and guidance to make the diet manageable as well as healthy. Gluten-free for a Healthy Life provides all the information you need to make understanding and following a gluten-free diet easier and healthy. The book gives readers a better understanding of why certain people need to follow a gluten-free diet and what types of foods and ingredients contain gluten. It includes tips on planning gluten-free meals and on dealing with children on gluten-free diets. This book also contains recipes, a listing of cookbooks, and numerous helpful resources, including Websites, support groups, and food companies. There is also a section where Tessmer answers the most frequently asked questions regarding celiac disease and living a gluten-free life. Gluten-free for a Healthy Life can help take the frustration and confusion out of following a gluten-free diet and make it part of your normal everyday life.

    There's some good basic stuff in here - I felt compelled to say that first, because it's true enough, though the nutritional information is overshadowed by the recipes, which look astonishingly awful. One calls for a can of Hormel chili and a tub of cream cheese AND a tub of sour cream. In fact, Hormel chili might be the most frequently referenced ingredient in the whole book. After a little while it starts to seem weirdly sort of homey and comfortable in its awfulness. There's lots of brand name, fairly cheap ingredients, and most recipes have very few ingredients and short prep times. Sure, some it might make you cringe a little inside - velveeta-based sauces or baked spaghetti casseroles - but maybe they're delicious. They are certainly approachable. Unlike the Other School of gluten-free cooking, which requires you to marry a professional chef with a fully stocked restaurant kitchen to pull off, this is the sort of gluten free cooking a normal poor person could pull off. As an introduction to the fussy, daunting, and expensive world of gluten-free cooking, you could do worse.
