Gourmet Cookbook of Life: Gluten Free, Low Glycemic Index Friendly Nutritional Information of Grains and Flours and Tested Recipes Shira Rister

ABOUT THIS BOOK This is a gourmet cookbook that is safe and enjoyable for persons with celiac disease and glucose intolerance. Most of the recipes are high in complex carbohydrates and have low glycemic index. Coconut sugar, a natural sweetener, is lowest in glycemic index and safe for the diabetic. I use olive oil, no cow milk, and all natural ingredients, and no gluten flours or grains. Many recipes are vegan and dairy-free and vegetarian and full of flavor. I have included a complete nutritional evaluation of every grain, flour, sweetener, and most of the ingredients that are in all the recipes. The recipes include breads, pizza crusts, waffles, and pancakes, Jewish holiday foods, ethnic dishes, main dishes, pies, and cakes.
