Response to "Momma be me"
Gluten-free baking is different than baking with wheat. Since gluten is what traps the leavening gases and causes bread to rise, gluten-free breads are dense. This is especially true if they are made without multiple additives and stabilizers (which many people are allergic to) as the recipes in this book are. I'm not sure from your review if your problem with "bricks" is unrealistic expectations on how the bread should turn out or a baking problem. However, your "gummy" crackers are almost certainly due to over-mixing. This and other cooking issues that can cause problems with and which are unique to allergy/gluten-free baking are addressed on pages 9-10 of the book. One of the books that I have written does give directions in steps rather than paragraphs (The Ultimate Food Allergy Cookbook and Survival Guide) and I do have a website (which currently comes up 6th if you search "food allergies" in Google, or you can get it under publisher information if you look up any of my books on Google Books. Sorry to make you search but Amazon frowns on websites being posted). If you contact me though my website, I will give you whatever support you need for your baking problems. Also, I kind of "fixed" your rating by bringing the average up to 3. Good luck with your son's diet, and I hope you read this and contact me through my website. Posted by the author.

3 stars not 1 not for high altitude or something else is wrong
I can't fix my rating. I meant it to have three stars, not one. I live in the Denver area (altitude issues) but the author is from Louisvill (close by) but after following the recipe for the breads to the "t"; three timesI have gotten only dry bricks that look like brains. I am a good cook otherwise but admit that this gluten free baking is a new world for me. The almond waffels come out like crackers with little flavor, but the graham crackers came out gummy. The quinoa pancakes are really good but our sone won't eat them *arhhgg* ! I am ovbiously doing a lot of things very very wrong! For us, it has been an expensive waste of groceries for not much food results. It would help if the instructions were more in an outlined format instead of running paragraphs. I was really excited about this book because our son is alergic to rice, potatoes, corn as well as wheat and eggs. I wish she had a website or support call number for despirate people like me (I would even pay a fee for it).
