Gluten-Free Baking Breakthrough

Is it or isn’t it gluten-free? The goal of making tempting and delicious baked goods has been an ongoing challenge for those on a gluten-free diet—but no longer!

Amaze family and friends with baking so good they won’t believe it’s gluten-free. Gems of Gluten-Free Baking is a cookbook long overdue, with more than 120 easy-to-follow, time-tested recipes for bread, cakes, muffins, cookies, pies, tarts, and so much more.

Those who suffer from gluten intolerance often miss out on the delicious baked goods most people get to enjoy. In Gems of Gluten-Free Baking Wendy Turnbull reveals her recipe for an amazing flour blend called GEMS flour. This carefully selected mix of whole grain flours enables you to bake bread that has many of the same properties found in wheat-flour breads. Products made with it are tasty, slice without crumbling, and stay remarkably fresh. GEMS flour opens up an endless array of possibilities for nutritious and delicious gluten-free baking.

This inspiring cookbook and outstanding resource brings gluten-free baking to a whole new level. Gems of Gluten-Free Baking has instructions on creating your own GEMS flour, and on how to raise the nutrient value of each recipe while reducing calories, fat, and sugar. From quick breads and muffins to cookies, bars, cakes, and pies—and even doughnuts!—Wendy Turnbull guarantees that those with gluten intolerance and allergy sensitivities will never have to long for their favourite baked goods again.

Wendy Turnbull was officially diagnosed with Celiac Disease over 30 years ago. The wheat flour substitute she was directed to eat, consisting of white rice flour and tapioca starch, proved unacceptable. Baked goods lacked taste and eye appeal and were dry and crumbly. Thinking there had to be an alternative, Wendy began experimenting with whole grain gluten-free flours.

GEMS flour evolved through a process of trial and error. The superior quality of baked goods using GEMS flour was gratifying. With this book, Wendy hopes to give everyone an opportunity to make their own personal gluten-free diet a satisfying and enjoyable experience.
