Reviews
Examiner.com, 2/12/2015 "A tasty tome...By replacing empty calories with complex carbs such as teff, coconut and almond flours, O'Brien puts protein, fiber, and vitamins back onto the plate, keeping diners both healthier and fuller longer...Makes eating a balanced, healthy, gluten-free diet easier for the whole family." Hudson Valley News, 2/25/15 "Includes recipes for breakfasts, soups, salads, entree, snacks, desserts--the works, dishes that the whole family (even those of us who are meat-eaters) can enjoy." InfoDad Blog, 2/26/15 "There are recipes here for breakfasts, salads, main dishes, side dishes, desserts, and even snacks, with interesting and often appealing or intriguing names...O'Brien has certainly managed to assemble an extensive list of foods that have both gluten-free and vegetarian characteristics, and she couples the recipes with some useful information...For people with an interest in gluten-free food that also fits vegetarian diets, The Gluten-Free Vegetarian Family Cookbook is certainly a useful guide." Stuff I Like Blog, 3/1/15 "Use this cookbook to make prepping vegetables easier in your life, and tastier." Midwest Book Review, March 2015 "Palate pleasing, appetite satisfying recipes...Certain to be an enduringly popular addition to personal, family, and community library cookbook collections." Portland Press-Herald (ME), 4/1/15 "With gluten-free eating on the rise, O'Brien shows how to avoid overly processed gluten-free products by cooking more meals from scratch." San Francisco Book Review, 4/22/15 "Features a wide array of recipes...and the photos will make your mouth water." Taste for Life, May 2015 "Family-friendly recipes...Offer[s] inventive ways to use fresh produce." Midwest Book Review, May 2015 "Offers a more specific focus than most gluten-free cookbooks, narrowing menus to vegetarian cooking and including the desserts and snacks which usually are particularly challenging in a gluten-free diet. It comes from a gourmet cook and healthy-eating coach who has developed over a hundred dishes for every meal...These are surprisingly quick and easy to produce, rely on homemade staples rather than store-bought, expensive substitutes for gluten, and include allergy-friendly, kid-approved options. Add a centerfold of color photos and you have a real winner."
