My favorite thing about looking through cookbooks is the beautiful pictures that often accompany the recipes. It is hard for me to get interested in making a recipe unless I have a picture of the finished product. If a recipe sounds good enough, I will make it if there is no picture, but I am definitely more likely to do so if I can see it first. I think a lot of people are like this – the visual image of the dish seals the deal.
This cookbook is chock-full of gorgeous photos! I sat down with a notebook to jot down the recipes that I wanted to try and had almost a full page full! The forward is written by Silvana Nardone, author of Cooking for Isaiah: gluten-free & Dairy-Free Recipes for Easy, Delicious Meals. A little more about the cookbook:
Whether you suffer from celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or want to avoid gluten, you know how challenging it can be to stick to a safe, nutritious, and delicious diet. Most gluten-free cookbooks are just collections of simple, basic recipes that get the job done without offering much creativity. But with Betty Crocker gluten-free Cooking, the most trusted name in home cooking serves up a collection of recipes that are safe for celiacs (and others avoiding gluten), and delicious too!
These accessible, delicious recipes cover breakfast and brunch, appetizers and snacks, main courses, gluten-free breads, sides, and desserts—giving you plenty of great-tasting options for every meal of the day.

Betty Crocker’s gluten-free Cooking presents delicious recipes and handy advice from a name you can trust. Take it from Betty Crocker, going gluten-free doesn’t mean giving up flavor!
After making my list, I got right to work making the Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake. I knew this one to be a great surprise that Jon would love for breakfast! The recipe utilizes Bisquick gluten-free, as many of the recipes in the book do. The coffee cake took less than 45 minutes from start to finish and my house smelled heavenly while it was baking!
This coffee cake says that it makes 6 servings. I am betting it is gone in three. I can’t believe how moist this coffee cake is! I love the flavor of cinnamon and the streusel topping.
If you aren’t a fan of Bisquick gluten-free, no worries. The front of the book has a couple of other recipes for flour mixes. Additionally, some of the baked goods use several individual flours as opposed to packaged all-purpose flour or a pre-mixed recipe. If you are looking for a cookbook that you will use to make more than just one recipe, this is that cookbook. It would also make a great gift for someone just starting out on a gluten-free diet. The recipes are well written and easy to follow.
The Betty Crocker Gluten-Free Cooking cookbook can be purchased on Amazon.com for $11.00 or on Kindle for $10.99.
Are you more likely to make a recipe if you see a picture of the finished dish?
