veryglutenfreeGluten Free Gourmet Desserts & Baked Goods by Valerie Cupillard.
I'm leafing through it right now, and while some of the ideas don't look bad, I really don't care for the gratuitous use of rice flour in these recipes, and even worse, where are binders like xantham and guar gum? Not all of these recipes contain eggs, so how do the end products stay together? And what the hell is with the essential oils (and essential oils sure as hell are not the same as nut and seed oils!)? Last time I checked you use those things for cosmetics, not ingestion. And then there is this crap about some detox diet, which I am sure is discredited somewhere-which the author decides, for God knows what reason, to base most of this book on.
I'm only half tempted to buy it used, if only to rip off ideas in order to make much better products, but I'm not sure if it's even worth it.
