Grain-free Gourmet Delicious Recipes for Healthy Living (Grain-free Gourmet) 15 reviews
Jodi Bager, Jenny Lass
Whitecap Books, 2005
Best SCD cookbook I've used so far
I have this cookbook as well as Breaking the Vicious Cycle, Lucy's SCD Cookbook, and Eat Well Feel Well. This one is my favorite. I love "The World's Best Meat Sauce", which I make thick as recommended for a sloppy joe spooned over the "Basic Bread" recipe. Fantastic! The apple galette disappeared immediately among a group of non-SCD dieters. I also like the cole slaw, and the cappuccino ice ...

Baking for celiacs? Of course you can!
I'm addicted to baked goods. As a new-found celiac, I thought I was never going to be able to eat them again. Boy, have I been proven wrong!

Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms20 reviews
Paul Stamets
Ten Speed Press, 2000
A total must have for the serious mushroom enthusiast.
This book is definitely not a beginners book, but The Mushroom Cultivator is. This book would be step two in your mycological life goal because it focuses more on the advanced techniques and an industrial approach growing mushrooms. I would recommend this book and every other book by Paul Stamets no questions asked.

Grassfed Gourmet Cookbook8 reviews
Shannon Hayes
Ten Speed Press, 2005
Grassfed Gourmet greatly gratifying.
I've owned this book for 2 years now and use it so much that I've given copies of it as Christmas gifts to 20 food-loving friends and relatives on both sides of the Atlantic. Everyone loves it. The recipes are mostly uncomplicated, foolproof and delicious. The book is also a great read: Shannon is an amusing, enormously knowledgeable person who will inform and entertain you with delightful style. ...

The Gourmet Slow Cooker: Simple and Sophisticated Meals from Around the World48 reviews
Lynn Alley
Ten Speed Press, 2003
Finally some decent slow cooker recipes!
Collecting cookbooks is a hobby. I've pored thru many of them and spent a ton of money buying, then discarding them. This is the FIRST slow cooker cookbook I've loved! I'm not a pork or ham person, I love intricate flavors (but not hot) and for the first time these dishes have all the layers of flavor I was looking for, without being overly calorie or sodium laden.
Yes it's more work to do the ...

Italy for the Gourmet Traveler, Revised9 reviews
Fred Plotkin
Kyle Books, 2007
An invaluable source
If you are at all serious about Italian food, this book is worth its weight in gold on your next trip to Italy. Yes, its big (aprox. 700 pgs), but thats because its a real book, and incredibly thorough. This isn't just some run of the mill pocket guide book thats going to tell you "go here" "do this".
It details the history and culture of each region in detail, so you don't just eat, you ...

The Gourmet Cookbook: More than 1000 recipes 131 reviews
Houghton Mifflin, 2006
A must have
Gourmet's cookbook is a must have for any collection. The range of recipes is incredible and includes everything from the basics to full 'gourmet' meals. The format makes it easy to find what you want to inspire you, and the stories on where each recipes came from make it feel very personal. With so many recipes, you should never run out of ideas on what to make for dinner!

The Freezer Cooking Manual from 30 Day Gourmet: A Month of Meals Made Easy99 reviews
Nanci Slagle
30 Day Gourmet Press, 2008
Excellent Charts! Checklists! Makes it look easy!
I have purchased several once a month cooking books after borrowing them from the library. This is one of them. The organization, charts and checklists make the price of this book worth it alone.
The recipes are like another reviewer noted, are geared toward kids. My kids are grown and I have a busy job and a husband that had a heart attack three years ago. I cook ahead to make my life ...

ESPN Gameday Gourmet: More Than 80 All-American Tailgate Recipes1 review
Pableaux Johnson
ESPN, 2007
Good stuff!
I got this book because I'm a really big college football fan and I like the idea of learning how to cook better, but, truth be told, I'm not really very good at it. (I've never tailgated in my life, but love the bbq!) There are good tips in it for beginners without it feeling like the writer is talking down to you and the recipes that I've done have all come out GREAT without a lot of fuss. And ...

The Best of Gourmet: Sixty-five Years, Sixty-five Favorite Recipes (Best of Gourmet)2 reviews
Gourmet Magazine Editors
Random House, 2007
Another tummy tome from 'Gourment' Great Entertaining'
`The Best of Gourmet 2007' is a 65th Anniversary edition of recipes collected from `Gourmet' of both the last year and from the previous 65 (up to 2005) years. In most ways, it is very similar to `The Best of Gourmet 2006', which means it's an excellent source of menus for entertaining 6 to 8 people at dinner on a regular basis, when you have an aversion to repeating yourself too often.

Everyday Grain-Free Gourmet: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner (Grain-free Gourmet)9 reviews
Jodi Bager, Jenny Lass
Whitecap Books, 2008
Great resource
This book is one of the better cookbooks I've had the pleasure of using. I am on the SCD diet for Ulcerative Colitis and the recipes included are of the kind that you truly will use every day. Multiple uses and variations are detailed. For instance the recipe for crepes is not only indicated for breakfast or fancy desserts, but is used for sandwich wraps as well. The Muffin Mix Muffins are ...

Backpack Gourmet: Good Hot Grub You Can Make at Home, Dehydrate, and Pack for Quick, Easy, and Healthy ...13 reviews
Linda Frederick Yaffe
Stackpole Books, 2003
Changed my backpacking life!
This is the book I have been waiting for. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love to backpack, and this book lets me enjoy all three. Previously, I was one of those backpackers who ate mac-n-cheese and Lipton noodles over and over and over. It was really boring, and I wasn't getting enough protein in my diet. Getting ready for our epic 4 month hike on the PCT this summer, I wanted to try food ...

Great shaving reference!
Minor typos aside, this is an outstanding reference for traditional safety razor shaving techniques and know-how. Complete with web-links that are updated independent of the book - the information presented stays current. There is a growing online community of men (and women) who are finding the pleasure of traditional safety razor shaving and Michael's book and web-site are a focal point in this ...

Jeff Smith
Avon, 1992
"IT LOOKS LIKE PEASANT FOOD BECAUSE IT IS PEASANT FOOD"!
My title blurb is a funny quote I remembered, Jeff Smith spoke on his entertaining PBS show. Before 'The Food Network' we had the witty and talented 'Frugal Gourmet'. This book deals with some simplistic, yet very good classic old world dishes. Nothing fancy, just great traditional food!
This is yet another excellent cook book by Jeff Smith! It's full of great recipes and stories by a very ...

Pierre Franey
Clarkson Potter, 2000
how to really cook
Quite simply, Pierre Franey taught me how to cook - that is - how to combine ingredients that together transcend the sum of the parts. I came across Pierre Franey's column in the NY Times in the early nineties, and the recipes were a revelation. The techniques I learned from the recipes in this book, his column in the NY Times, and the follow up book, I use repeatedly. Unlike many other recipes, ...

Inspiring!
Using the recipes in this book has inspired me to get back into cooking. We especially love the Posole recipe, which updates a traditional recipe with new touches. The New England Brown Bread recipe is so good that it beats my grandmother's Down East Yankee recipe... and that's saying a lot! My enthusiasm for cooking in general has been invigorated by the creative and fresh approach in the ...
