Customer
"I am loving this cookbook. It is so clearly written and the directions are very precise. It is fantastic to be able to make bread again - and it is delicious. I love the options for flour - you can make your own flour for the best results or you can buy a GF flour. Definitely give the homemade flour a try at some point. I can't wait to try other recipes but right now I am focused on making bread."

Love American Test Kitchen’s cookbooks and was thrilled to find a gluten-free one. In this cookbook I love how at the beginning of each recipe they tell ‘why the recipe works’.

I am determined to get this gluten-free thing figured out, because we are highly allergic to wheat, as most people are. It’s what they have ‘done’ to wheat that makes it why we can’t digest it properly. So frustrating. Hopefully RFK Jr. can get this one figured out and fixed too.

I want to cook out of this cookbook for n 2025 and if the recipes are a hit, I’ll add a ⭐️!

What a fantastic book! There are so many delicious sounding recipes that I can't wait to try!!

A good starter cookbook for basic gluten-free recipes. There is a little bit of everything.

Just starting to bake gluten free foods and I was completely overwhelmed with the thought of even starting. So grateful for ATK and their recipes and explanations. Also REALLY glad they have a substitution for potato starch in their flour blends as we are also a nightshade free house. So far everything I've tried, though different from our "normal" has been really tasty.

I'm thankful that if I have to go gluten free that it's at a time when there exists tons of resources. I am determined to love food again now that I (mostly) have my diet issues worked out and know my limits.

I have always been a foodie who loves cooking and baking. I knew my food science and could improvise. Alton Brown was my guy. I taught the science of cooking and baking at the homeschool co-op that I ran. This was one if My Things. So upon figuring out that some of my health issues were food-related, I was devastated.

Now that I've given myself time to adjust, I want to learn the hows and whys of GF baking. Because - spoiler alert - it's not as easy as just subbing a GF alternative. At least, not most of the time.

I appreciate this book because not only is it packed with great recipes, it also takes time to explain them. If you just want a recipe book, then this book is perfect for you - recipes have been tested and refined. It gives substitution suggestions (and ramifications) for commercially available flours and ingredients if you don't want to make their blend. It also gives dairy-free alternatives if you need that.

However, if you're like me and want to learn how to convert favorite recipes to GF, this book will help you do that too. Not only does the book explain how they arrived at specific recipes, it is full of hints about how to approach your own recipes. Don't know why you need xanthum gum or psyllium husk? The first chapter walks you through commonly used ingredients and their uses.

America's Test Kitchen comes through again with another fantastic resource.

My favorite of GF cookbooks and in my top three of all my cookbooks. This one is amazing. It explains the why and how's of the different ingredients. After testing trying and tasting 30-40% of the recipes, I realized they were all great. My hubby and guests were unable to taste the difference between the same recipes made with AP flour. I totally trust their process. Additionally, I have learned how to adapt "old favorite" recipes to make the GF version. Thank you ATK, I am a complete fan. Since getting this edition earlier this year, I am slowly building a collection of all your cookbooks. You have made me a superstar, not just of GF, but of my kitchen. Looking forward to offering GF options this holiday season.

Definitely dated!!! Did not like reliance on blends and prevalence of dairy (even in blend) despite promise that cookbook was revised to include dairy-free options for each recipe.

Looks like it’s time for another update America’s Test Kitchen!

[Terresa Wellborn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lots of yummy recipes here, no doubt one of the foremost GF cookbook Bibles out there. I haven't made any of the recipes yet, but kudos to the editors...there are pictures for every single recipe in the book, plus additional example pics in some cases.

Pub year: 2020

It's one of those books your never truly "finished" reading. Has some good gluten-free recipes but uses a lot of other allergy products so you need to watch that if you're avoiding other things as well. Still though, great ideas to help get you started!

[LemontreeLime · Rating 4 out of 5]

Marking this as read but don’t think I’ll ever be done rereading it. Good nite what HAVENT they figured out?

[Kacie Rytlewski · Rating 5 out of 5]

This cookbook has everything. I never doubt it - everything I’ve made has been delicious.

[Haley DeWitt · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best gluten free cookbook for replacing your favorite foods and finding new favorites!

[Christina Rose · Rating 5 out of 5]

Got this at the library. Great book for your collection. A must if you are gluten sensitive/intolerant. What works what doesn’t and why. Tips. Explains many things and what to purchase.

A couple of weeks ago I found out I have Celiak disease. That really turned my world upside down. I've been reading cook books instead of books since then.

I haven't tried any of the recipes in this book but I've got most of the ingredients I need by now so I will leave it on 5 stars while I try them out.

I've watched program by America's test kitchen on TV and I know they bake things many times to see what works best.
