| "Baja Quesadillas" page 73 (using "Taco Sauce" page 299) |
That's over 400 pages of a wide range of recipes, enough to delight the heart of any recipe collector, especially recipes like buttermilk syrup, Instant Oatmeal Packets, homemade pop tarts, chokecherry syrup, Ezekiel 4:9 (sprouted grain) bread, crock pot baked custard, cream cheese chicken with broccoli, beef bologna, citrus vinegar cleaner, and borax-free dishwasher detergent.

| "Granola #4" page 28 |
What I really appreciate about this cookbook, is that it includes the kind of information that homesteaders and do-it-yourselfers are looking for: how to make nut butters (with tips for specific kinds of nuts), cheese making, candle making, a soaking and sprouting chart, slow cooker basics, soaking and cooking dried beans, gluten-free eating, a thorough list of gluten-free flours, grains, and meals plus their best uses, and more. It also includes wonderfully unusual recipes such as canned sausage, canned milk, wheat-free chickpea pasta, ghee (clarified butter), deodorant, toothpaste, chocolate body scrub, and homemade sunscreen.

That was a great review, Leigh and I love the cover of the book. With keeping with what you said the other day about the internet maybe not being there all the time, this would be a great book to have. Thank you! :)
Pam, I thought about you when I first starting reading this book. It's not a gluten-free cookbook, but it does the best job of addressing gluten-free eating and alternatives that I've ever seen.
I want a bowl of that granola . . . now!
Do I need another cook book? Gosh, no. Do I want a copy of this one? Yep.
Well we aren't always gluten free, I try to keep it mixed up a bit, but it's great that the author included GF! I just think it's great how complete she seems to have everything in one spot!
I have a weakness for books, but a real weakness for cookbooks. :)
The granola is the best I've ever eaten. Dan usually thinks granola is too heavy, but he really likes this one. The recipe is a keeper.
I am not a cookbook collector but wonder if my library might get this one for me. Will have to try. Thanks. Nancy
Nancy, that's actually a very good idea. Libraries are usually responsive to patrons' requests, and it's a good way to get a hands-on look at a book.
Great review! Might have to add this to my personal library!
It's a good 'un.
