Healthy Gluten-Free Eating

For the first time, a chef and a coeliac, both top teachers, create over 100 really, really delicious recipes.

As many as one in three hundred people in the UK suffer from coeliac disease and the only treatment is to follow a gluten-free diet for life. This means excluding foods that contain wheat, rye and barley, which are the mainstay of most people's diet.

However, it is possible to avoid these foods and still eat well, even meals that traditionally contain gluten. These delicious recipes can also aid people with wheat intolerance, or those who have chosen a wheat-free diet to lose weight and combat digestive problems.

This is the first cookbook to offer delicious recipes that have been created by gourmet cooks and supervised by Coeliac UK. The book contains over 100 completely gluten-free recipes that have been created to tempt your tastebuds whilst managing the symptoms of coeliac disease. The gluten-free diet is particularly restrictive and this book provides imaginative ideas and welcome inspiration for gourmet meals suitable for the whole family.

The book explains the symptoms and factors that can influence the condition and discusses how to implement good eating habits with the least disruption. Dishes include chicken and tarragon pie, home-made lasagne with mushroom a la creme, bread and butter pudding, tiramisu, chocolate brownies, banana bread and granola.

There are recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, soups and salads, breads and cakes, simple meals and parties - this is the only gluten-free cookbook you will need.
