Is it possible to have great tasting gluten-free foods? Yes, with the secret of coconut flour. Coconut flour is made from dried coconut that has been ground into a powder. It looks and feels just like any other flour, but unlike wheat flour, it is completely gluten-free. It is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals and contains about the same amount of protein as whole wheat. It is a good source of calorie-free dietary fibre that is so important for good digestive health. The best part is that it tastes fantastic! Using the basic yeast dough recipe described in this book, you will be able to make gluten-free yeast breads that will remind you of your mothers home-made baked bread. Yet these recipes are easier and quicker to make. With coconut flour and a few other key ingredients, you can make gourmet dinner rolls, sandwich bread, pizza crust, calzones, hamburger and hot dog buns, breadsticks, scones, tortillas, and a variety of artisan breads. The recipes in this book are designed to appeal to a wide range of tastes. For breakfast you will find a variety of sweet and savoury muffins, pancakes, and waffles. The Jalapeno Cheese Muffins and the Ham and Cheese Waffles are incredible! If you like sweets and desserts, you will find cakes, cupcakes, tarts, cookies, and even ice cream sandwiches. You will also find plenty of savoury items such as Sesame Pecan Chicken, Tempura Shrimp, Cashew Chicken, Cajun Chicken Fingers, Sweet and Sour Pork, and even a delicious gluten-free Turkey Dressing. Who knew gluten-free cooking could taste so good?
This book shows that you don't need a large kitchen, expensive ingredients and fancy equipment to produce good food. Almost every one of the healthy and delicious vegetarian recipes is inexpensive and easy to prepare in the restricted space of a caravan - although they'll be equally at home in more permanent structures! With an eye on the environment as well as the purse, this book is packed with suggestions for making the most of leftovers. Faith Hancock worked as a nanny in France before travelling to Thailand, where she learned to cook Thai style. After a year spent in Australia she returned to the UK where she has lived in a caravan for the last five years. She has also written an ebook which is available from www.moneysavingplanetsaving.co.uk/author/faith.

William Maltese says: "Anyone who enjoys gourmet cooking, and who always yearns to experience an adventure when/while eating it, like I do, is exceedingly lucky whenever he finds a kindred spirit, professional or otherwise, who can spice things up with good and unique food, coupled with good wine and good conversation. There are many professional chefs who spend their lives on television, and/or in professional kitchens, wowing the public with their cooking artistry. There are those who aren't professionals but who still cook and, actually, invent their own recipes, and who mainly slip public notice, because they and their food aren't on display 24/7. This book introduces you to Cecile Charles, once one of the former, now one of the latter: a gourmet-cook extraordinaire who has invented, and still invents, her own recipes, and whose culinary creativity always leaves me inspired and astounded whenever she joins me in the kitchen or at the dining table." Here are 200 of chef Cecile Charles's gourmet health-and-healing dishes, all of them tested, sampled, and organized by her co-author, William Maltese. This is as good as it gets
