I purchased this book in order to have a good general reference with recipes to make when friends who have Celiac's disease eat over.
The book is more than just a cookbook as it contains advice and tips for making a gluten free home. For instance in the beginning of the book the author cautions that you must make sure your kitchen is glutenized--you have to think about cross-contamination. Since I'm not making a lifestyle change and wanted to just cook for gluten free friends, I didn't think about things like toasting a gluten free piece of bread in a toaster that had toasted flour based products!
I made a few of the recipes including Poached Salmon Piccata (very good), Spinach Pie (very good too), and a really good lemon bar.
The recipes are easy to follow and the ones I tried were both visually appealing and tasted good--at least my gluten free friends had no complaints.
