No Flour No Sugar Cookbook Vol. 2 by Madison Miller is a book that aims to provide recipes that have no flour and no sugar. In the initial sections, the author talks about providing recipes for a variety of meals. And, looking over the recipe list in the contents section, I can see there’s a good attempt to provide a lot of differing recipes; that provide a variety of tastes. It talks a lot about diet and health, and includes a bit of nutritional information for each recipe. I’ll just let you know that the recipes do not include pictures, so you can’t see what the food looks like before trying it out.
Personally, I’m just looking for recipes, and am not reading the book for either the flourless or sugarless portions. However, if you are doing so for yourself, my main advice, if you intend to use this book for dietary needs, is to talk to a medical professional, such as a doctor or nutritionist, about your diet and how these recipes may affect you.
As the title suggests, the theme of the book is to not include flour or sugar. However, it fails at the flourless portion. I noticed several different flours listed in recipes. Such as in “Savory Mushroom Breakfast Muffins”, one of the ingredients is “2 ½ cups almond flour” and “Caprese Muffins” lists. Some recipes also include the use of coconut flour, such as “Polynesian Chicken Nuggets” using “1/2 cup coconut flour” and “Quick Cajun Scallops over Wilted Greens” using “1/4 cup coconut flour”. “Tropical Banana Cookies” uses both almond flour and rice flour. Another example is the use of an ingredient such as “1 tablespoon flax seed meal”; in my understanding, a meal is a type of flour, except not as ground as refined as the flour we’re used to seeing. Here I shall use the Cambridge Dictionary definition of it; “meal, noun (powder): a substance that has been crushed to make a rough powder, especially plant seeds crushed to make flour or for animal food: bone meal, corn meal”. Maybe the author doesn’t think they count as flour…? I don’t know. But, in my opinion, things such as almond flour and coconut flour definitely count as flour.
I just think the whole “no flour” bit of the title is really misleading. In the introductory passages, the author even states “… foods that contain flour and sugar are more likely to be nutritionally void.” Which, in my opinion, they obviously mean it as a bad thing; yet they then go and include recipes that include flour…? It doesn’t make sense to me.
One of the regular things I critique in my reviews is the information the authors provide in their ingredient lists. There is a decent amount of information provided in a lot of cases, such as “1/2 cup sweet yellow onion, diced” or “1/2 cup roasted red peppers, chopped”; in both these examples, it’s good because they provide details such as the amount, the type of ingredient, and how it is to be prepared for the dish. However, in other cases, such as “5 eggs, beaten”, it’s not as complete. Because things such as eggs can come in a variety of sizes. And using more or less of an ingredient in a recipe can sometimes change the texture and taste of it. Especially with an ingredient such as eggs.
I think the book might be a good resource for beginner cooks. There’s a good amount of details for ingredient lists, and the cooking instructions. If you’re a beginner, I think there’s enough information for you to understand what to do and the consistencies of what food should be at certain steps. One interesting aspect the author provides is cooking conversion charts (at the end of the book). These are useful because we can convert imperial measurements to metric equivalents. I think it’s a nice touch and I appreciate that the author included it.
There’s a good amount of common ingredients that you could probably find at your regular supermarket. The book uses some really common meats and vegetables, and spices that are pretty common as well. There may be a few ingredients that I might not be able to find, but overall the book has a good range of options for ingredients that I would easily be able to find.
There are definitely a variety of vegetable and vegan recipes that you could try, if you’re looking for that kind of thing. And, in the recipes that aren’t 100% vegan, there’s aspects which you could remove ingredients, or substitute them with vegan alternatives, and still have them be fine.
Overall, I think it’s an alright cookbook. There’s a few meals that I might want to try from it. I think it could be a good resource for beginners, and the amount of detail it has about ingredients and cooking instructions is really great bonus. Again, I’m not using the book for the flourless/ sugarless aspects. However, if you are, just be aware that it does include types of flour, such as almond flour, coconut flour, rice flour. Though there are a lot of recipes that don’t use such things. But just be careful when looking over the recipes, if you really need to avoid flour. That’s the reason for my two star rating; I feel like the “no flour” aspect of the title is very misleading.
