The 100 Best Gluten-Free Recipes for Your Vegan Kitchen: Delicious Smoothies, Soups, Salads, Entrees & Desserts [ペーパーバック]

You have to be highly experienced to be able to adapt these recipes into a workable, eatable outcome. Each recipe consists of several hard-to-find and expensive items. She does not offer substitutions very much. Her go-to sweetener is "Z-Sweet" which is highly refined and hard to find. Substitutions anyone?!! It also bothered me that she would call for a general gluten free mix and then call for additional gluten free flours all in one recipe. If you are going to use pre-mixed gluten free flour as well as your own mixture then you are neither getting the benefit of saving from using only your own bulk mixes or the convenience of only having to use a quick pre-made mix. Plus each recipe calling for a mix is not a true recipe since the outcomes can vary greatly after you play a guessing game as to which mix to use. These recipes are for those who can afford very expensive health food items and who have a lot of time to dedicate in the kitchen. I give her three stars because many of her recipes tasted quite good after I made several improvisions. She did well considering that it takes a real artist to exclude sugar, wheat, rye, oats, barley, gluten, dairy, meat (any animal product for that matter)etc from baked goods. Kudos to you Kelly Keough. Loved the homemade Pizza Sauce and I want to try the lemmon chiffon pie (however I will have to make several substituions to be able to do it). When I first approached books like these it was because I was slowly eliminating one food group at a time that I noticed was not good for me such as gluten, dairy and sugar. Eventually I came to find the "raw food" and "eat clean" diets as a more ideal solution vrs. makeshift cooking with strange ingredients (Zanthan gum anyone? Ehwww...) Search online and look into the raw food community for alternative eating. Raw food diets also exclude things like zanthan gum and it is mostly vegan raw. Natalia Rose wrote "Raw Food Detox Diet" this is my favorite so far since it dosn't demand the use of dehydrators and crazy gadgets. I also like the sunny raw kitchen blog and "delightfully raw" by Carmella. Anything by Diana Stobo is yummy (her recipe for red velvit smoothie is SO GOOD)! I also like "the gluten free vegan" (anything by Susan O' Brian is great). The whole life nutrition cookbook is good to supplement raw food diets when warm food is wanted. Anything by Madjur Jaffery can be easily adapted to vegan and the use of spices is just wonderful. Elanaspantry.com is great for gluten free. Greensmoothiegirl.com is a good resource to a plant based diet (she has the book "the green smoothie diet"). "Raw Food Real World" is good. My biggest advice is don't allow yourself to go "broke" on specialty items that are often suggested in books like this one. Find recipes that are based on ingredients that can be found more universally, especially if you are not exclusively vegan or gluten-free vegan. The internet is one of the biggest free resources out there, experiment with those free recipes before committing to any one given lifestyle.

This book is an easy guide to gluten free and vegan eating...
I have always been weary of trying new recipes because I usually stick to what I know..
This book has introduced me to new foods that I normally avoid at the super market!
I absolutely loved the Beet greens and Leeks dish! Who knew to use your beet greens?
I made this for family & friends & they LOVED it!!
Quinoa? My new favorite grain...I love Kelly's introductions to each recipe...
this book was easy to follow & I liked how I could fix them ahead of time & they would still be as delicious the next day...
I highly recommend this book for those trying to elevate their vegan cooking to a new level...
You won't be disappointed!

I really love Kelly Keough's recipes. They are so healthy, but my kids (2, 5, 7) and husband will actually eat them. She has found terrific substitutes for people with food allergies. Who knew coconut liquid amino acid existed? I love the combination of raw and cooked vegan recipes. I too have become bored with my gluten-free diet and longed for more flavorful and healthier recipes. Well, here they are- simple and elegant. There is a lot of variety- hummus and raw hummus, lots of salad ideas and cooked veggies, pizza, soups, smoothies, breakfast foods, desserts and much more. With Amazon's price, it is a steal. I am buying a second book for a relative.
