Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2021I was surprised by how much I like this cookbook - it's not the expectations I had for gluten-free food, but rather that this approach makes so much sense and it really respects my time.
Consider this: we have to plan to feed 5 mouths 5 dinners a week. Evening is busy, daytime is busy, and the investment of spending 1 to 2 hours a night prepping and cooking a healthy meal with leftovers is one we think its worth it; it's also time we spend competing with homework help, sports practice, meetings planned for way too late in the day, and everything else that comes up.
So why not do all your prep at once on the weekend. There's truly set up and take down time, additional cleaning time, etc. That's the magic of this cookbook - plan and prep once, short cooking the rest of the time.
The meals are good, and they include gluten-free baking. If you're really a strong afficionado for baking you've used the recipes from America's Test Kitchens "I can't believe it's gluten-free" cookbook, these won't feel the same but they're still good. Quick breads are a great snack and supplement, there's no reason not to have some on-hand. The prep guides can be used as shopping lists - the only thing missing is that there's not a QR code to scan to call up instacart so you don't even have to do the shopping.
Brilliant brilliant book with good recipes. I hope the author comes out with a second one.
