Take the hard work out of gluten-free cooking Cook hassle-free,
everyday recipes Enjoy meals from bestselling gluten-free author
See a photo with EVERY recipe Joy, the author of the bestselling
cookbook "NOSH for Students", started writing for friends who had
requested gluten-free recipes. Interestingly, during the process of
writing her first gluten-free book, Joy, herself, discovered she
was intolerant to gluten. Joy has now written 4 cookbooks, all
dedicated to helping others in this challenging world of
gluten-free living.
Why do most diets fail? Why does one person eat a certain meal and gain weight, while another eating the same meal loses pounds? Why, despite all the advice about what to eat, are we all still getting fatter?
The answers are much more surprising - and fascinating - than we've been led to believe. The key to health and weight loss lies not in the latest fad diet, nor even in the simple mantra of 'eat less, exercise more', but in the microbes already inside us.
Drawing on the latest science and his own pioneering research, Professor Tim Spector demystifies the common misconceptions about fat, calories, vitamins and nutrients. Only by understanding what makes our own personal microbes tick can we overcome the confusion of modern nutrition, and achieve a healthy gut and a healthy body.
Letter from JoyI discovered that I was 'gluten intolerant' a couple
of years ago whilst I was writing 'Nosh Gluten-Free'. Friends had
asked me to write a gluten-free book, but during the process, I
realised that the stomach pains, which I had thought were due to
medication I was taking, were significantly relieved when I cut out
gluten from my diet. I was glad to find the cause of the problem,
but knew that this would make life challenging! So I began my
journey of gluten-free living with the book 'NOSH Gluten-Free' to
help me and now I have added this latest book, 'NOSH Gluten-Free
Baking'. I have to be frank and say that the 'Baking' book has been
the hardest book I have ever written; I have never had to deal with
so many failed attempts in all my years of cooking! For instance,
bread depends on gluten for its elasticity and 'bounce'. I must
have made about 50 different breads, all of which ended up in the
bin, before coming up with the new ones in this book, and my quest
still goes on to find more. During the process of writing this
book, one of the highlights would definitely be the puff pastry
recipe. When that pastry came out of the oven, with its distinct,
crispy layers, I could have done a little jig in the kitchen, right
there and then! When we find we are gluten intolerant, or
'coeliac', it can seem like a 'life sentence of no treats'. We go
into a cafe for coffee and cake and often find there is nothing we
can eat - all the 'yummy'-looking ones are full of gluten! My aim
in this book has been to reverse the 'sentence'. I have tried to
include recipes for the many things we might like to eat in the
coffee shops, as well as the regular desserts and savoury pastries
that seemed to be 'forbidden'. I hope that you enjoy cooking and
eating many of these re-found treats.

While 4% of the population suffers from diagnosed lactose
intolerance, it is estimated that a staggering 50 million Americans
suffer from some degree of dairy intolerance/allergy. Moreover,
recent research has linked milk protein (casein) to cancer and
autoimmune illnesses and found evidence that our bodies quit making
the enzymes necessary to digest milk as we age--thus setting up
those who consume a dairy-rich diet for IBS, allergies and other
autoimmune and digestive difficulties. Dairy has become the "new
gluten"--something that people are realizing needs to be minimized
in our diet whether they have a formally diagnosed allergy or not.

"How do you get your protein?" As a vegan, you're sure to get asked
this question often. Most likely, you've even thought about it
yourself. Vegan protein comes from things like tofu and tempeh, to
beans, nuts, and protein-rich whole grains like quinoa. There are
loads of options out there, but how to prepare them? What to put
them in? These are questions that can feel daunting, especially if
you haven't used these ingredients before. Never fear. Celine Steen
and Tamasin Noyes to the rescue! The Great Vegan Protein Book takes
you step-by-step through each protein-rich vegan food group,
providing you with valuable information on how to prepare the
ingredient along with more than one hundred delicious and easy
recipes (many of them low-fat, soy free, and gluten-free!). Each
recipe included within this cookbook uses whole food ingredients
that can be easily found at most grocery stores or farmer's
markets-no hard-to-find ingredients or things you can't pronounce.
Say yes to protein and eating better with The Great Vegan Protein
Book!
