Gluten-Free Makeovers

My sister has a wheat allergy and from time to time I wondered if I might as well. When I first started research on living gluten and wheat free, it seemed like an impossible undertaking. So, even though now I have not found myself with an allergy I am glad to research gluten-free (GF) cookbooks both with my sister in mind, but also the other health benefits from reducing gluten from my family's diet in general. One of the things about a good GF cookbook is when it can show you that just because your food needs have changed does not mean it is the end of the world. In fact menus can continue and deliciously so. Cookbook Author and Chef [a:Beth Hillson 5228574 Beth Hillson http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg] was a pioneer for GF cooking before it was a popular movement and continues to provide worthy recipes today. I agree with Peter Lowell in the foreward; the fact that Hillson makes recipes for foods we know and love becoming GF does not have to be an entire cultural change. This book makes it true, if you are GF now and to the future - your favorite foods are far from strangers. My known recipe for Christmas is monkey bread and when I saw the first one in the recipes section was Apple Caramel Monkey Bread I knew I was sold.
