Many people are realizing that wheat and gluten are reeking havoc on their health, and they need quality information and recipes to help them avoid these ingredients.  This little book manages to give readers a primer on how to identify their food allergies and how to begin living gluten free.
    This book would benefit those just starting out on a gluten free diet, who find themselves suddenly needing to prepare most of their own foods.  Many of the recipes have only a few ingredients.  There are time saving tips, healthy cooking methods, and lessons on using herbs and spices.  She also lists ingredients and products in which gluten often hides.  This would be a great book to carry around as a reference guide while you are learning the ropes of this lifestyle.  She will help get you ready, from your kitchen tools to your shopping list. 
   I would also recommend this book to those the seasoned gluten-free cooks out there.  Chef Marie will surely expand your repertoire, not only of recipes but also cooking techniques. 
The recipes are easy and imaginative.  There are many seafood, meat, and poultry recipes, and a few vegetarian entree recipes.  For the veggie lovers out there, she also shares some delicious vegetarian recipes in the Side Dishes chapter that could definitely be served as an entree.  As far as baking goes, recipes using flour call for pre-made gluten free flour mixes, specified with a tried and true brand.  I was happily surprised by the various dessert recipes that don't require flour at all.  These fruit based dishes are brilliant, like the Papaya Brulee or Grilled Mango and Almonds.  
   The author does interject her own nutritional beliefs that aren't necessarily relevant for all people with a wheat intolerance.  In particular, she stresses the importance of a low fat diet.  If you are following a low-fat diet, this just might be the right gluten free cook book for you.
