The aim of this accessible cookbook is to demystify gluten-free cooking and show you that it's surprisingly easy to create foods that you thought you'd never be able to eat again.

More than 13 per cent of the UK population (and up to one-third in the USA) say that they currently avoid eating food containing gluten.

An estimated one in a hundred people have coeliac disease, an incurable, lifelong, autoimmune reaction to gluten, and a similar number have a wheat allergy. For those who fall into these camps, embarking on any restricted diet can be daunting, but especially when you need to exclude all foods containing gluten. Bought ready-prepared gluten-free foods can be expensive and monotonous, and the range of basic gluten-free products such as flours and more unusual ingredients such as xanthan gum somewhat bewildering.
