Recipes for make-ahead baking mixes and techniques to shorten baking times means cooks stay on track. And her comprehensive menu plans and ideas help pull together a week's worth of meals with ease.

Editorial Review:

The connection between inflammation and heart disease, arthritis, and other chronic ailments has become increasingly clear. Many food allergies and poor dietary choices over stimulate the immune system and cause inflammatory responses that erode the body’s wellness and pave the path for ill health. Based on her naturopathic practice, Jessica Black has devised a complete program for how to eat and cook to minimize and even prevent inflammation and its consequences. The first part of the book explains the benefits of the anti-inflammatory diet with an accessible discussion of the science behind it. The second half contains 108 recipes. The author offers many substitution suggestions and includes a healthy ingredient tip with each recipe. Most of the dishes can be prepared quickly and easily by even novice cooks. A week of sample menus for summer months and another for winter are included, as well as a substitutions chart, allowing readers to modify their favorite recipes to increase their healing potential.

Very informative and comprehensive 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I ordered this cookbook to help me bake for my granddaughter who has Celiac's disease. I am very impressed with the different flour mixtures to assure the proper flavor and texture of the finished product. I would recommend this for anyone who has a gluten intolerance. Thank you for offering this book!!!

Not so great! 1 out of 5 stars.

I had high hopes for this cookbook, since it comes from The Culinary Institute. I have only tried one recipe, the pecan cinnamon buns, but I will definitely not make then again. The texture was very, very chewy. There is a large amount of guar gum (xanthan gum) in the recipe and mix used for it; I have never seen xanthan gum added by tablespoons before, only in teaspoon increments. But this recipe called for 2.5 tablespoons for 3 cups of flour, and 1.5 cups of that flour already had about a tablespoon in the mix. so approximately 3 Tablespoons of xanthan gum per 3 cups of flour? I think that might contribute to the problem.
Anyway, I think there are other cookbooks that will provide a better, more consistent result.

Editorial Review:

Many gluten-sensitive people have only dreamed of eating gooey cinnamon buns, crusty French bread, savory pizza, and smear-worthy bagels. But now, thanks to Chef Richard J. Coppedge Jr. of the Culinary Institute of America, everyone can indulge. Whether you're a first-time baker or professional chef, you will find the baking techniques comprehensive and easy to master. Using a combination of Chef Coppedge's flour blends, you will soon be creating pies and tarts, cookies and brownies, and savories and pastries to tempt any palate, gluten-sensitive or not.

great food everyone can love 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

If you want a book filled with recipes you can take to any gathering that EVERYONE will be able to eat, and that everyone will love, this is your go-to book. I've tried a dozen recipes so far and every one has been successful and delicious. One reviewer commented here that there were lots of ingredients to the recipes, but in fact the recipes are almost universally short and easy, averaging probably less than ten ingredients including salt and pepper. There are no obscure ingredients or odd substitute foods. I cook quite a lot and this is now one of my very favorite cookbooks, regardless of the dietary restrictions it serves. Highly recommended.

Editorial Review:

The Gluten-Free Vegan offers solutions for anyone seeking a tasty approach to healthier eating. Quick, easy, and delicious recipes: Written by a food-allergy sufferer and gourmet cook, this collection includes more than 150 healthy recipes for a wide range of dishes that are both gluten-free and vegan. The cookbook also includes guidelines of each dietary restriction, information on sugars, raw foods and organic foods, advice on ingredient preparation, quick-cooking tips, and resources for easily finding ingredients.

Saved my life... 5 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

This book and it's companion cookbook literally saved my life, after years of getting no help ~ or getting sicker ~ from the established "medical profession." I changed my diet and in three days the pain disappeared, and a week later I tossed away my cane and bounded up the stairs. I couldn't believe it, it was a miracle. I still can't believe it; all because of changing the foods I ate.

Now, years later, when I go off the no-sugar, no yeast diet, the pain and stiffness and depression returns and I have to stop and think... ahhh, I've been eating sugar = candida yeast infection! So back I go and all is well. This change in eating habits has saved untold thousands of people like me from suffering and pain and "given us our lives back." Why don't doctors tell us? I will never understand this.

How did I hear about this book & the problem of candida yeast infection? Three friends, from different parts of the country, told me about it, and I visited a nutritionist who backed up everything Dr. Crook says in the book. Et Voila! I was cured.

It is very hard at times not to feel great bitterness towards the "regular doctors" who wasted my time and money, and left me suffering for so many years, yet who have little or no training in basic nutrition.

It is not this way in Europe; here they seem to know only how to prescribe surgery or useless medications, some of which made me sicker, but I have to continue to remind myself that this is the training of the AMA. I hope things change, and soon.

In the meantime, a note of importance:

I developed the initial candida yeast infection was drinking "100% pure fruit juice." I drank it all day or night long, for three years, sitting in front of my computer working. I was a computer programmer at the time. Turns out any bottled fruit juice turns into fructose sugar during processing, and I was making myself sick by believing that the "100% pure juice" was healthy for me. How wrong that was. That's how I got sick.

After going on the anti-candida yeast diet for a few months (during which I lost 40 lbs as well! The fat just melted off me), all was well. Then I started drinking cartons of orange juice purchased from the grocery store. Joint pain, exhaustion and suffering again! I was told by a woman shopping alongside of me that processed orange juice was causing my returning joint pain, and she was right. She knew because she had been through the same thing. She was an angel from above! Now I only drink juice that is fresh squeezed, and stick to the rest of the diet, and I have no more problems whatsoever. (I have problems only when I go off).

I have recommended this book to many, many people and all have received a great deal of relief. If only I had been told about it sooner, it would have saved me three years of exhaustion, pain, suffering & immobility. It even hurt to breath some days, and doctors did not help at all. I tried everything.

The diet is simple: no sugar, no dairy, no yeast, no wheat, only organic foods and water to drink. It's not "easy" at first, but mayonnaise, eggs and chicken are allowed, spices, curries, rice syrup (really sweet), fresh corn tacos or chips take the place of many kinds of foods. Health food stores have lots of "gluten and dairy free foods, so you will shop there to your heart's content. Plus I had immediate results within three to seven days.

This diet was like putting "Miracle Grow" on roses with yellowed & blackened leaves half dead from lack of proper nutrients, and seeing green and healthy results, literally overnight! I still can hardly believe it. After four months, people said it was as if I was twenty years younger, and they were right!


Thank you, Dr. Crook! You have saved my life.

I recommend this book and it's change in diet with acupressure massage, and a bit of prayer and meditation. With Grace on our side, all will be well.
