This is an awesome cookbook, packed with information, photographs, and formulas for all the mixes. It is a good read, practical, and full of fun with lots of anecdotal stories. If as well as following recipes, you enjoy reading cookbooks, like me, this one will not disappoint you.”

I have enjoyed this whole book-writing process. The PUFF PASTRY RECIPE alone is amazing! There are step-by-step photographs of how to make it. The process only takes a few minutes a day for about 4 days, but then you have Puff Pastry available in your freezer to bake anytime. It tastes delicious and, once baked, can be re-warmed without going hard the next day! I love having Puff Pastry made ahead for special occasion meals. A photograph of Puff Pastry Shells is at the bottom of this page at the end of the complete Cookbook Index.

Reviews

“It is so wonderful to make bread again – with your bread mixes, it is easy and delicious. I love that you can blend flours and then just bake with the one that works best in a particular recipe. I used to have only wheat flour, all-purpose, pastry, cake flour, and whole wheat to make everything. Thank you for making them with almost the same names …only gluten-free. I can use all your flour mixes for my old recipes because I know which one fits.  I make your seven original mixes once a month and just bake anything I want. I have a family of five to cook for and need to save time. We all eat gluten-free now. It tastes so good.”

“Trina’s cookbook has helped me so much! I have several dietary restrictions besides gluten. I met Trina some years ago and bought her mixes. They were easy to use, and I was lost when she could no longer sell them. So I am delighted with this new cookbook. My family and I can enjoy her great bread again!”

Pamela J. Florida, USA

“Thank you, Trina. I love the options you give to make gluten-free flour. I love that you created a set for Nightshade Free. There are not too many cookbooks for this, and gluten-free. I love that I can use your cookbook for baking without Nightshade.”

Ivey H. New Hampshire, USA

“Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I could make Gluten-Free Puff Pastry. But now I can, thanks to your book! Honestly, I thought these would be hard recipes, but with all your pictures and instructions, once I followed them, it became manageable. I make something from your book every week and freeze it, so I am never without something tasty and nutritious to eat. My other favorite recipes are Cloverleaf Dinner Rolls and Pizza. Just like my wheat days, I can have it all again.”

Patricia L. California, USA

“I bought your hardcover cookbook first. I loved it a lot, but then I bought the kindle version because it is searchable, and I keep my iPad in the kitchen and can refer to your book whenever I need to. I like the Step by step way you write the recipes. Plus, all the photographs in your book are beautiful.”

    I would love to get your book in paperback or hardcover form. I’ve downloaded it on my tablet, but it’s hard to keep going back to the tablet. The recipes are great.

    • Trina Astor-Stewart

      Thanks for the lovely comments on my recipes in, Gluten-Free, You Can Do It. You are not the only one who has asked me about a printed book, and now it is also available in a Hardcover Version.

    I’ve tried the 7A bread recipe and it’s excellent. My first loaf I didn’t bake long enough so it fell.
    Thanks again great book.

    • Trina Astor-Stewart

      Hi Diane, Thanks for your comments for sure. Baking gluten-free is always a learning experience. Glad you have had success with White Bread Mix #7A. You should try the Cloverleaf Dinner Rolls using the same mix, soft and delicious. Happy baking!
