New Gluten-Free, Allergen-Free Cookbook.

I am lucky not to have any food allergies, but I still want to make so many of the delicious-sounding recipes in Elizabeth Gordon’s new book, Simply Allergy-Free: Quick and Tasty Recipes for Every Night of the Week. Just looking at the gorgeous photos in the book, you’d never know that ever recipe is free of gluten, dairy, soy, eggs and nuts.

Author of the blog My Allergy Free Life and owner of the online allergen-free bakery Betsy & Claude Baking Company, this busy mom of two girls has multiple food allergies. She says, “I like to think of these recipes as the little black dress of my pantry—simple and economical fare that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.”

She shows you how to use (and where to buy!) key ingredients like xanthan gum, agave nectar, superfine rice flour, powdered vanilla rice milk, and sorghum flour, which can make gluten-free and allergen-free foods taste like “the real thing.” The recipes I can’t wait to try include chicken tikka burgers, chickpea French fries, beef tostadas, corn quinoa salad, herbed biscuits, and chocolate pretzel pie. Yum!

Hands down, the best thing about this book? The recipes are made with simple, common ingredients. You can easily pick out one of the recipes for dinner, head to your pantry and have it on the table in 30 minutes. Not all of the recipes are that quick, but you get my drift. These dishes are delicious because they use real food ingredients, the missing allergens will not be, ahem, missed.

Elizabeth has generously offered us a copy of this book to give away to one lucky reader. In addition to the book, we’ll kick in a package of our Gluten Free Sorghum Flour and White Rice Flour so you can make these muffins right away.
