Wheat-free-cooking expert Carol Fenster reveals her time-saving tips and techniques to help cooks put homemade meals on the table in a flash.
In Carol Fenster's gluten-free cooking classes, the most frequently asked question is "How can I get a meal on the table in the least amount of time?" So often, cooking gluten-free means spending hours in the kitchen-making everything from scratch. But now, Fenster reveals all her shortcuts, tips, and timesaving techniques from nearly twenty years as the gluten-free cooking authority. The Quick & Easy principles in this book will get cooks in and out of the kitchen with less fuss than ever before.
In Gluten-Free Quick & Easy, a hot meal makes it to the table without a complicated ingredient list or a lengthy wait. Fenster emphasizes the necessity of "planned-overs"-not "left-overs"- that creatively use elements of one meal in the preparation of another, whether it becomes an ingredient the next day, the next week, or the next month. Recipes for make-ahead baking mixes and techniques to shorten baking times means cooks stay on track. And her comprehensive menu plans and ideas help pull together a week's worth of meals with ease.
Fenster's simple but delicious recipes include favorites like hearty breads, pizzas, and pasta. In less time than ever before, gluten-free cooks can whip up homestyle entrŽes and side dishes, tasty breakfasts, and elegant desserts for every meal of the day, every day of the week.

Summary: Use it all the time
Comment: The recipes are fairly simple to make, love the flour mixes, and the foods are tasty for being gluten-free. I'm still getting used to this new way of eating and miss my whole wheat. But I feel much better and this cookbook makes it possible.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: No so quick and easy
Comment: I bought this book because I needed to find other choices, especially preparing my own bread.
The book has a lot of recipes but they are complicated. To prepare a bread they referred to other preparations in different pages, and those preparations require several ingredients.
Another thing is that the book does not have any picture so that we can see how the results are going to be, and make us feel that we can eat delicious thing even gluten free.

Summary: Gluten Free Quick and Easy: From Prep to Plate without the Fuss
Comment: I sent this cookbook to my daughter in college. She has just moved out of the dorm into a house and so gets to do her own cooking. She is very excited about this cookbook because everything is quick and easy, a must for a busy college student!

Summary: Excellent book, wonderful recipes, useful mixes!
Comment: I'm extremely pleased with this book! My son has autism and is on the GFCF diet and Carol's recipes have been lifesavers! I already had Cooking Free when I ordered this one and I am even happier with this book. The recipes are delicious and the flour mixes are such timesavers. When I find I'm running low, I take some time on a weekend, mix up a ton of Carol's Flour Blend, then go to work filling all my containers of mixes. The pancakes were declared as the "best GF pancakes I've ever made" by my husband who doesn't have to be GF (and I thought I made pretty darn good pancakes already). Her recipes are the kind that you can make for anybody and nobody will know they are special. That is the mark of a great book!

Summary: Everything we've tried has been really good.
Comment: My family has loved everything out of this book so far. My 8- year old is a hard sell so this is impressive to us. There is a wealth of very good, helpful information in the beginning of the cook book about why certain ingredients are used, if you don't have them how to substitute and general information about principles of cooking GF. Why didn't I give it five stars? The only down side is the need to make several different mixes in advance and have them on hand in the pantry so the recipes are much quicker at meal time. While this may seem to some a brilliant idea, and it is, it's not terribly effective for me since I forget to have it done ahead and am scrambling to make the mix and then the recipe which takes time. When I do have the mix handy it's really wonderful ... especially the waffles!
