“Creative design for the cookbook. I like that it lays flat when opened and folds in 1/2 to view just one recipe page while I’m preparing it .
So far I’m in love with veggie chips pg. 41
As is my nature I tweaked that recipe .
Earth day crackers pg 42
So tasty again I tweaked this with more spices .
I made the leek, Quinoa, mushroom packets pg. 46
Had enough left over to freeze another few meals . And enough filling left over that I used to stuff some Anaheim chilis .
The gluten free gravy pg. 111
I must admit needed some help with flavor . The roux needs to be stirred and simmered a bit to remove the paste taste of the amaranth flour. But that was an easy fix.
Now I’m addressing a point that may just be an editing error? Just FYI:
In the table of contents under desserts
“ chocolate chip oatmeal cookies “
Are listed , but no recipe in the book .
However in recalling the fifth edition book .
A recipe called “Norma’s Almond Butter Cookie “ is listed on pg.248 . Just in case folks want a treat
From that 5th edition some of my favorites made it into the new cookbook .
Heidi’s onion pie
Buckwheat croquettes
Kasha meatloaf
Heidi’s savory crackers
Tex Mex corn casserole
Par boiled salad
Just to name a few.
I was sad that from the 5th edition a favorite was not added.
Heavenly Quinoa Hash . Such a versatile recipe .
All in all the new cookbook is good . My only suggestion is that the beautiful photos would have had a small space for the name of the dish or recipe on them. They look delish but some photos are not right next to the recipe. Maybe I’m being picky , but those cookbooks I own that label the photos send me to the recipe right away and I know how the end result should look.
Thanks Donna for keeping my gut healthy.”
“I have had a copy of this cookbook for several years and have enjoyed several recipes. Sadly, our current market has made it difficult and expensive to obtain the ingredients of my favorite recipes (that I had come to depend upon, but lately have had to do without...young coconuts for example). But, I took advantage of your free offer to me with this copy and am gifting it to a friend that hopefully I can turn into a BE follower, participant, and customer.”
