The Everyday Art of Gluten-Free

Book excerpt: The author of Blackbird Bakery Gluten-Free tackles the fundamentals of gluten free baking in this cookbook featuring six flour blends and 100+ recipes. This wide-ranging cookbook is divided by the six essential gluten-free flour blends—Biscuit, Donut and Fritter, Pie and Pasta, Bread and Pizza, Cake and Muffin, and Cookie Jar. Each chapter offers easy-to-follow recipes that demonstrate the versatility of these blends—while debunking the notion of an “all-purpose” flour. Morgan transforms more than 100 favorite comfort foods into gluten-free delights, including jelly donuts, chicken and dumplings, red velvet cupcakes, challah, and more. These treats boast the same taste, texture, and appearance as their gluten-based inspiration, and some—like the lemon-raspberry pop tart—are even better than the original. Packed with more than 100 photographs, The Everyday Art of Gluten-Free empowers its readers to make virtually any recipe into a delicious, gluten-free version.
