Betty Crocker's Gluten Free Recipe Collection

[literally]

 While I am sure their gluten-free mixes suck just like most brands of it out there (natural and indy companies included), I have to hand it to them, they really understand what the average gluten-free eater wants. No sanctimonious healthfood recipes. Teaspoons of salt, not a half a gram of it. Sausage cheese balls made out of gluten-free Bisquick mix. Cheesy Steak and Potato Skillet. Banana Bread made with actual sugar and butter. Peanut Butter Cookie Candy Bars. Mexican Chocolate Brownies. They're not even bothering to pretend, and I salute them for it. I want to see more recipe collections like this, not just ones catering to anorexic carrot eaters.

I would be interested to read a rant on how gluten-free mixes suck, if you happen to have such a rant lying around.

My reason for trying gluten-free baking is that my mother can't eat gluten any more. This means gluten-free dishes will be special projects for me rather than every-day cooking, so I'm looking for a readymade mix rather than a collection of flours.

Most suck because they're grainy and/or contain things like rice, bean, and soy flour. I'd love to see a company come out with something better sooner or later, but I'm not holding my breath, mostly because it seems that most of the people running these companies didn't bake since they were young, and/or lack a culinary education or time in the food industry.
