The James Beard Award-winning gluten-free cookbook, now in
paperback!
Baking with flavor flours--oat flour, sorghum flour, teff, coconut
flour, and nut flours, like almond and hazelnut--adds a new dimension to
dessert recipes. Rather than simply adding starch and structure to a
dessert (as is the case with wheat flour), these flours elevate the
taste of the dessert as well. The recipes incorporate the most popular
alternative flours available on the market today and use them in
interesting ways, both alone and in combination. Gluten-free bakers will
find a whole new range of baking options at their fingertips. Chapters
are organized by flour, each one highlighting the best recipes that
flour can be used for--be it muffins, tarts, and scones made with
sorghum flour; cakes, cookies, and crumbles made with oat flour; or
chocolatey desserts made with teff. The chapter opener text highlights
useful information for each flour: the taste, its flavor affinities, and
how it's best used, stored, and more. With 125 accessible and delicious
recipes, including Double Oat Cookies, Buckwheat Gingerbread, Chocolate
Chestnut Soufflé Cake, Blueberry Corn Flour Cobbler, and Coconut Key
Lime Tart, living gluten-free has never been tastier.
