500 gluten-free dishes

It would seem like Carol Beckerman has cooked just about every dish under the sun! Having truly mastered breakfasts with her previous book containing no less than 500 breakfast dishes, she has now turned her attention to gluten free cooking for her new book 500 gluten-free dishes, "the only compendium of gluten-free dishes you'll ever need".

Carol brings to her book a wealth of experience from her time running the kitchen for a traditional English pub, catering to large events and recently cooking baking for local restaurants. 500 gluten-free dishes has a recipe to suit any occasion or taste with vibrant colour photos for every recipe. If the 500 options weren't enough, there are also companion pages with variations to try out for every recipe. As a special treat, I made this chocolate and cherry roulade for dessert last night. It was delicious and very decadent.



Treats aside, as I look through the book, I notice how so many of the recipes are for the familiar sort of foods that I would regularly want to eat, yet bursting with a vibrant array of flavours from Carol's broad and extensive cooking experience. These are nice foods that I want to cook, yet they're simple enough that I don't feel the need to wait for a special occasion to do so.

500 gluten-free dishes contains the following sections:

• breakfast dishes
• appetizers and starters
• breads
• main meals
• side dishes
• desserts
