Crave or Complete Gluten Free Cookbook

Crave

Author: Maureen McKeon

Chocolate can be as fancy or as simple as you like. Even a simple brownie or chocolate pound cake, when accompanied with ice cream or a fruit sauce and topped with chocolate curls, is transformed into a dessert as elegant as it is delicious. The flavors of fruits, nuts, and liqueurs marry perfectly with the superb richness of chocolate, creating endless possibilities for rich and delectable sweet treats.

A celebration of chocolate, Crave presents 150 recipes for delicious desserts, cakes, cookies, confectionery, and puddings, as well as fillings, frostings, sauces, and chocolate decorations. There are recipes for all occasions and all levels of expertise: from simple family favorites to elaborate recipes for special occasions such as weddings and birthdays. For those who understand chocolate, working with it is a great joy, but for others, it can seem unnecessarily intimidating. This book aims to demystify cooking with chocolate, featuring a techniques section, which gives hints for using and baking with this most evocative of foods.

Author: Donna Washburn

Enjoy the sensational food that is typically avoided in gluten-free diets.

Gluten-free foods needn't be plain or unappetizing. When there's a food allergy such as celiac disease, wheat intolerance or lactose intolerance, that usually means cooking two separate meals. That's no longer the case, however, thanks to the imaginative recipes in Complete Gluten-Free Cookbook. Everyone can enjoy these tantalizing recipes, which include everything from baked goods, pasta dishes, appetizers and family meals to mouthwatering desserts. Here is a sampling of the inspired gluten-free recipes, most of which have an egg-free variation:

• Asparagus risotto
• Wild rice latkes
• Skillet cornbread
• Bacon and tomato biscuits
• Coconut shrimp
• Curried beef with rice noodles
• Date orange streusel cake
• Cherry almond biscotti
• Pear hazelnut tart
• Shirley's old-fashioned donuts.

In addition to the 150 recipes, there is extensive information about various gluten-free flours, legumes and rices. Also included are tips and techniques for baking lactose-free and egg-free products, making the book helpful for those with other allergies.
