When Phil Vickery was head chef at the Castle Hotel in Somerset, England, he won Michelin stars four years in a row. He is the author of Seriously Good! Gluten-Free Cooking as well many other cookbooks.
Award-winning chef and cookbook author Phil Vickery offers 70
recipes for baked treats ranging from the sweet to the savory. The
cookbook opens with an introduction to celiac disease--its
diagnosis, symptoms and dietary requirements. A list of essential
products for gluten-free baking flours and other useful ingredients
follows along with tips on how to get the best baking results.
Innovative recipes like Sweet Potato Thins, Polenta Cake with
Raspberry Drizzle Frosting and Roasted Banana Walnut Cake with
Maple Frosting are some of the recipes calculated to satisfy
anyone's sweet tooth.-- (05/01/2011)
For anyone suffering from celiac disease, something as common as
wheat, rye or barley can cause painful bloating, stomach cramps and
nausea. But gluten, the name of the protein found in all three
grains, is what gives bread its elasticity and a springiness to
cakes and muffins. Forget baking then, right? Award-winning author
and chef Phil Vickery says absolutely not, and he has the cookbook
to prove it.... In this soft-covered cookbook, there are 70 recipes
for everything from rosemary and garlic focaccia bread to Yorkshire
pudding, fudge brownies, apple crumble and chocolate chip cookies.
Each recipe includes a colour photo of the baked goods and tips for
proper storage and freezing. There is also a helpful list of
naturally gluten-free cereals and grains, tips to avoid
contaminating gluten-free foods and what essential ingredients
should be in your pantry to eat healthy.-- (06/08/2011)

Sweets-lovers forced to avoid gluten due to dietary or health
concerns will find a plenty of inspiration (and possibly even
elation) in U.K. chef Vickery's collection of 70 gluten-free cakes,
muffins, crackers, and breads for all occasions and tastes.--

The misperception that people with celiac disease or any kind of
gluten intolerance have to give up baked goods--or settle for sad
facsimiles of the breads and cakes they once enjoyed--is
heartbreaking to Phil Vickery. The award-winning British chef
insists that gluten-free goodies are easy to make, and sets out to
prove they can taste every bit as good as their gluten-laden
counterparts. Vickery, whose previous book Seriously Good:
Gluten-Free Cooking became an international bestseller, spent a
year developing the 70 recipes in his latest release, Gluten-Free
Baking. Don't be fooled by the cover's chocolate fudge cake. While
Vickery includes plenty of dessert receipts--from Chocolate Caramel
Rocky Road Shortbread to Strawberry Tart with Crushed Meringue and
Mint--the book also features a handful of savory recipes, including
Yorkshire pudding and Indian-style flat bread.-- (03/01/2011)
