Gluten-Free Family Favourites

Description

Cooking and sharing meals is something every family should be able to enjoy together - however many family members eat gluten-free. If your household is avoiding gluten, this book will lead the way to recreating your family's old favourites, and introduce you to a few new ones, too! GLUTEN-FREE FAMILY FAVOURITES makes gluten-free cooking fun, with 75 recipes designed to meet your family's everyday needs (and wants!), including: - Breakfasts to start the day off right (French Toast Sticks, Banana Mini Muffins, Sweet Potato Pancakes) - Snacks and sides that satisfy (Cashew Coconut Chia Squares, Soft Pretzels) - Balanced dinners (Pumpkin Gnocchi Nuggets, Spaghetti Bolognese, Quesadillas) and more! Each recipe includes 'Kids Can' tips to get kids themselves helping with the cooking, plus modifications for families avoiding other allergens or eating a vegetarian or vegan diet. Authors Kelli and Peter Bronski also teach the ins and outs of a gluten-free diet, including how to maintain a gluten-free kitchen, avoid cross-contamination, reduce the higher grocery bills that can come with a gluten-free diet, and empower children to select and prepare food for themselves.

Husband-and-wife team Kelli and Peter Bronski are co-authors of the popular all-purpose cookbook Artisanal Gluten-Free Cooking and Artisanal Gluten-Free Cupcakes, and co-founders of the acclaimed blog No Gluten, No Problem. Kelli is a graduate of Cornell University's prestigious School of Hotel Administration and a lifelong baker and cook. Peter is a celiac community advocate, endurance athlete and co-author of The Gluten-Free Edge. They live in Colorado with their three children.
