The Gluten-Free Gourmet: Living Well Without Wheat by Bette Hagman (1991, Paperback, Reprint)

Synopsis
Bette Hagman describes how, following her diagnosis as gluten-intolerant (or a sufferer of celiac disease), she experienced great relief when her symptoms began to subside, but also felt disappointment in her doctor-assigned, bland, wheat-free diet. In this guide to thriving in spite of celiac disease, Hagman shares the wealth of information gleaned over 20 years of working to spice up her diet without exacerbating her ailment. The introduction presents Hagman's own story and the discoveries she's made through experiment and research, reassuring the newly diagnosed reader that he or she need not be sentenced to a dull dietary future. The following chapters address subjects such as hidden glutens, traveling and eating out, and successful rearing of the celiac child. The recipes and food ideas offered in this rich resource cover breads and brunch, cakes and casseroles, offering an appetizing picture of the future for those who must live without wheat.

Publisher's Note
'This cookbook should be in every celiac's survival package.' If I received this information at the time of diagnosis, I would have been more confident and optimistic. The recipes are a much needed addition too any 'grain-free' kitchen that provide mouth-watering substitutes forbidden foods.'
