From Library Journal
Hagman's excellent first cookbook, The Gluten-Free Gourmet ( LJ 6/15/90), is filled with recipes created to let those allergic to wheat enjoy heretofore forbidden foods; now she's back with 300 more. Half of these are for the breads, desserts, and other baked goods usually denied to her readers, with more than three dozen bread recipes (most designed for the time-saving bread machine). The remainder are for appetizers, soups, side dishes, and entrees, again with the emphasis on foods usually off limits, such as crackers, pasta, tempura, quiche--even taco salad. There is a good introductory section, along with several useful appendixes. Recommended for all special diet collections.

Customer Reviews

An excellent wheat/gluten-free cookbook.
Ms. Hagman's three Gluten-Free Gourmet cookbooks have been a godsend to me. Not only have I been happy with all of her recipes, but I have learned from her cookbooks how to experiment with various gluten-free flours to adapt favorite recipes to be "safe" for me on a more restricted diet. _More from the Gluten-Free Gourmet_ is Ms. Hagman's second book, and the first in which she offers recipes to be made in a bread machine. I would strongly recommend purchasing all three of her cookbooks, but if one only wants to buy - or to start with - one book, I feel that this would be the most helpful one. Enjoy!

Happy Days are here again...
Thank you, Thank you Bette Hagman for taking your disease and making such a wonderful contribution to the rest of the world. I have a husband and now a nephew that both need the gluten free programs, except when I first started with my husband most doctors did not have a clue what we were dealing with. I even went to a dietician at the hospital and she walked away with 3 pages of information, and I had nothing,I just paid the office fee. I made up a lot of things on my own but until I found Bette; I could never seem to find a way to put bread back into his diet. Now he eats everything just like the rest of the world. We are so fortunate that now this disease is more well known and how it is affecting at least 1 out of 250 people, makes Bette Hagman more important than ever. I have all of her books and they go with me everywhere. What a blessing, it has made life so much more for those that are suffering.

A must have for people with Celiac Disease
I purchased this book shortly after being diagnosed with Celiac Disease a disorder that requires a drastic change in diet. The Celiac is not able to have any wheat, rye, oats or barley,(GLUTEN containing grains). The diaticians in my area of Maine were only able to provide me with 3-4 pages of information and recipes on a diet I must maintain for life. This book has been a lifesaver. The foods are easy to prepare and tasty enough that my gluten eating family members enjoy the meals and breads I make
