PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this enticing debut, food stylist and recipe developer Larsen presents a comprehensive guide to gluten-free baked goods. Larsen, who has suffered from digestive issues, writes that gluten-free food shouldn't be a compromise and begins with a helpful rundown of allergen substitutions and kitchen equipment, and explains the importance of weighing ingredients. Chapters including "Quick Breads, Muffins & Scones," "Cakes, Cookies & Bars," "Pies & Tarts," "Crisps & Cobblers," and "Yeasted Breads & Rolls" begin with "Tips for Success," which explain pan selection and cooling techniques, among other things. If ingredients such as psyllium husk powder and sorghum flour come across as intimidating for home bakers, the author's extensive knowledge of gluten-free baking and step-by-step photos will alleviate panic in the kitchen, with such recipes as a doable Weeknight Bread studded with roasted seeds and ideal alongside an easy dinner stew. Individual Microwave Muffins were designed with young bakers in mind and make for fast and wholesome snacks of pumpkin and banana and apple sauce muffins. This well-researched, reliable guide is a must for those on a gluten-free diet and should hold some appeal to home bakers eager to look beyond traditional flour.
