Hi, I'm Carol Kicinski. A professional recipe developer, food writer and TV chef - and I do it all gluten-free! I create recipes that are simple and healthy and not just "good for gluten-free" but just plain GOOD period! Enjoy! xo, Carol
1. Simply..Gluten Free Desserts - FINALLY, a cookbook with
recipes that are not only gluten-free but GREAT TASTING.
The gluten free diet can be challanging as health concerns dictate one's diet, resulting in
"healthy" foods that often taste and have a texture that is weird.
Kicinski with half her family gluten-intollerant and half not, didn't sit quiet and compromise on
the taste of baked goods. Instead she set out on a mission to develop dessert recipes, which while
being gluten free, also provided her and her family the taste, texture and nutrition that equaled or
surpassed the gluten-filled recipes.
Then Kicinski didn’t keep her recipes a secret from the rest of the world, as she has been
constantly sharing her experiences, baking and cooking techniques and tips on television shows,
on her popular gluten free website and as a freelance writer.
Now she has compiled her experiences and dessert recipes in her new cookbook -
"SIMPLY...GLUTEN-FREE DESSERTS” (Thomas Dunne Books,2011) which sets a new
standard as a reference cookbook for people who are gluten-intolerant and for chefs the world
around who must now elivate their baking skills to satisfy the ever growing gluten-free demand.
This book also proves valuable for preparing your own gluten-free flour - giving a simple recipe
for homemakers for an all-purpose gluten free flour blend that works cup-for-cup in place of
regular flour for any recipe you choose to make - even your grandma's old favorites.
There are many recipes that don't require flour substitutions, making many of them not only
gluten free, but also grain free. A surprising number of recipes are dairy free as well.
With this cookbook you can have a wide range of dessert recipes for your discerning taste buds
and yet still be sensitive to good health – gluten free recipes that would have otherwise remained
elusive for the gluten-intollerant.
