Non-gluten delectabilities! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

After going gluten free a year ago, I thought I'd never bake anything good again. But this book and its predecessor, The Gluten-free Gourmet, changed my mind! Because I'm also sugar free, baking is an extra large challenge. But these recipes along with xylitol sweetener have gotten me back in business. What a great find! Thanks, Bette!

Kudos to Bette Hagman! 5 out of 5 stars.

Thanks to Bette Hagman's clearly written, informative cookbooks, it is very easy to enjoy a gluten/wheat free lifestyle. This book is not only power packed with excellent recipes, but with tips on maintaining a gluten free lifestyle.

It makes me think of the spiritual, "Free At Last." A modified version for the Hagman books could be "Wheat free at last, wheat free at last..."

Thank you, Bette Hagman!

It's helping me save my life 5 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I am plagued with multiple chronic health issues and have been on a personal quest to improve my health. Over the years I had consumed numerous freshly made organic juices from various stores and felt a slight positive change in my health. However, it wasn't until I purchased this book and began weekly drinking two to four cups of juice combinations from within it that I began to feel the juices had made a tremendous positive change in my health. My first clue to the power of the recipes was the strong feelings of increased strength and well being that began twenty minutes after drinking a cup of juice. Over the next two months my acne completely disappeared, my face had more of a glow than an oily sheen, and my hair began to regain its luster. The changes were so apparent that numerous people remarked how healthy I looked. I can only imagine the health benefits it's had that are not so easily seen.

Today I had a hidden allergen in my lunch that left my intestines painfully inflamed. As soon as I could I referred to this book and juiced a recipe to soothe my symptoms. Much to my delight, it worked! I can see and feel the positive impact the juice is having on my recovery.

This book is helping me save my life!

Delicious recipes for the gluten-intolerant.

Gluten is primarily found in wheat, rye, barley and oats. A recent study suggests that one in 250 Americans cannot tolerate gluten. Many suffer from Celiac disease, a digestive disorder that damages the small intestine and interferes with the absorption of nutrients from food. Many others also suffer from food allergies that trigger a wheat or gluten sensitivity. Quite often, the only treatment is a gluten-free diet.

The Best Gluten-Free Family Cookbook features sensational recipes for baked goods, desserts, and main meals -- foods that are typically avoided in gluten-free diets. Here is a sampling of the appetizing recipes: - Blueberry Orange Muffins or Loaf - Rum and Pecan Pie - Lotsa Lemon Squares - Triple Threat Chocolate Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies - Grilled Salmon and Roasted Peppers with Fusilli - Cranberry and Wild Rice Stuffing - Quinoa Stuffed Peppers.

Accompanying each recipe is a wealth of tips and techniques for novice and experienced cooks alike.

It's a fact seldom admitted by the medical establishment: chemotherapy and radiation are only about 6% effective in fighting cancer. Prompted by public outcry, research now validates a course of cancer prevention and treatment advocated by specialists in alternative medicine and practiced for centuries in Eastern cultures -- nutritional therapy. Verne Varona shows how to stop cancer in its tracks -- and even reverse it -- through diet. Backed by the testimony of prominent physicians and inspiring case histories, Varona explains what kind of nourishment works best to enhance immunity and restore vitality -- without sacrificing enjoyment of food. Starting with the basics of smart eating and moving to specifics on the role of antioxidants, phytochemicals, herbs, vitamins, and more in preventing and conquering cancer, he outlines a complete, easy-to-follow program for freedom from a devastating disease -- and improved odds of a long, healthy life. Aimed to make dietary changes as painless as possible, this welcome resource also features a tantalizing collection of nutritious recipes, helpful shopping and cooking tips, and sensitive advice on eating in restaurants and at social gatherings.

Editorial Review:

A practical diet plan for restoring the acid-alkaline balance your body needs to experience optimum health

• Explains how acidification of the body contributes to disorders such as chronic fatigue syndrome, eczema, and ulcers

• Categorizes food according to its acidifying or alkalizing effect on the body, rather than by chemical composition

• Contains food tables to help readers design the best diet for their health needs

To enjoy optimum health, our body needs balanced quantities of alkaline substances and acids. An imbalance can result in health problems ranging from minor skin irritations, chronic fatigue, back pain, and depression to arthritis, ulcers, and osteoporosis.

Most people consume an abundance of highly processed foods that acidify the body and, as a result, are afflicted with many of these ailments. Naturopath and detoxification expert Christopher Vasey shows how a simple change in diet to restore your acid-alkaline balance can result in a vast improvement in health.

Vasey provides easy test methods to determine your acid levels, how to interpret these test results, and ways to establish a proper diet to maximize your health. Rather than organizing alkaline and acid foods on the basis of their chemical composition, Vasey categorizes foods based on their actual alkalizing or acidifying effect on the body so that you can design a diet best suited for your particular health needs. He goes further to explain how some foods, such as fruits, can have either an alkalizing or an acidifying effect, depending on who eats them, and how to use alkaline supplements to support your dietary needs.
