As someone who lives with an individual who has celiac disease, I thought this cookbook provided great insights on why it is important to avoid any crumbs. I have yet to make any of the recipes but have saved a ton!

This is s good starter book, for those newly diagnosed with Celiac disease. Wish there where more picture of finished recipes as inspiration.

I was recently diagnosed with gluten intolerance and this book was very interesting to read. I learned a greater understanding of my diagnosis, five steps to living gluten free, and lots of great recipes. There is even a master of foods to avoid, what to substitute and great resources and support. to help you along the way. .

Celiac Disease Cookbook for the Newly Diagnosed is a theory based guide and recipe collection for helping readers to transition to a gluten-free diet. Due out 18th Feb 2020 from Callisto on their Rockridge Press imprint, it's 166 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats (ebook available now). It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links. I've really become enamored of ebooks with interactive formats lately. For Kindle Unlimited subscribers this book is currently included in the KU subscription library to borrow and read for free.

The book has an accessible, logical format. An introductory chapter gives a good overview of celiac disease, treatment, outcomes, etc. There are specific lists of acceptable foods and ones to avoid. The second section includes the recipes, arranged thematically: breakfast (including smoothies), salads and soups, seafood and meats, sides and snacks, and desserts. Ingredients are listed in a bullet sidebar with only American standard measures given. Info and tips about the ingredients or the recipes themselves are given in sidebars below the preparation information. Prep time, yields, and cooking time are given in the header info. Nutritional information and special diet concerns/allergens (nuts, celery, wheat, etc) are stated in the header and footer for each recipe.


The book does include an interactive links list for further reading but there's no index.

These are yummy and (mostly) made from easily sourced ingredients.

I am very much a visual learner and one of my concerns with several cookbooks I've reviewed recently has been the lack of photography and serving suggestions. I know that photography can increase the cost of a published book significantly but it enhances the end result so much that in my case at least, it's a necessary part of any cookbook which I buy and use. This book is somewhere in the middle. There aren't many photos, but the ones which are included are clear and appealing.

Four stars. This is a good niche cookbook with a wide variety of gluten free dishes included.

This is a great book full of information about celiac disease. She has tons of great information on what it is, how it affects the body, how you can do stuff at home to significantly reduce symptoms. It has many good recipes! I would definitely recommend!

I received this ARC from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

So, if you know/follow me at all (likely you don't but that's okay), you'll know that I write quite a bit about celiac disease given that I was only diagnosed within the recent past. Back then the gluten free diet was becoming a hot, trendy thing, and celiac disease was only starting to get more media attention. I had no idea what the heck the disease was until I was diagnosed.

This would've been an extremely helpful book for someone new to celiac disease or who doesn't understand what it is.

Rather than just being a cookbook, the author discusses exactly WHAT celiac disease is, and bonus points to the author for pointing out that ***we can't just have people picking crumbs off our salad***. She talked about STIGMA, which is a HUGE issue, and talking about the emotional/psychological issues relating to being diagnosed.

So this isn't just a cookbook, it's really an introduction to being diagnosed and how to handle the weight of the disease, which is HUGE. I mean -- no one talks about the fact that you can't just eat out anymore and you have to shell out a LOT of money for new equipment when you're diagnosed. It's kind of like you just get told "stop eating gluten" and that's it.

The ONLY issue I have is that she notes that oats are OK for celiac disease if labeled gluten-free, but it has been consistently found that gluten-free optical-sorted oats are not safe for celiac sufferers and purity-protocol oats are really the best option.

Recently learning Celiac Disease was an issue I was dealing with was a "LIKE REALLY" moment for me. Me? I LOVE BREAD, CAKE, COOKIES, how is this gonna work for me. Then learning it was deeper than just my bread and cakes, but everything from chocolate candies to salad dressing. I was struggling to figure this new thing out. I enjoyed the breakdown of what Celiac Disease is. The recipies showed me, I can still eat good and have a happy healthy gut. Thank You #Netgalley for the opportunity to check it out early.
