Gluten-Free Girl, with its gluten-free healthful approach, seeks to bring a love of eating back to our diets.

However, Gluten-Free Girl shows readers how to say yes to the foods they can eat. Written by award-winning blogger Shauna James, who became a interested in food once she was diagnosed with celiac disease and went gluten-free, Gluten-Free Girl is filled with funny accounts of the author’s own life including wholesome, delicious recipes, this book will guide readers to the simple pleasures of real, healthful food. Includes dozens of recipes like salmon with blackberry sauce, sorghum bread, and lemon olive oil cookies as well as resources for those living gluten-free.

Rating:  - Fun, touching, I love the food!
As a person who is perfectly capable of eating all the gluten I like, I appreciate the chance to try out some different food choices. I found the stories entertaining and the tone of the book very approachable.
Rating:  - Embarassing to read

Rating: - Good for you Chick Lit
I downloaded the sample of this book on my Kindle ONLY because I'd been hearing about gluten-free this and gluten-free that and I knew nothing about the topic.

Rating: - Gluten- free eating advice
Great reading for those recently diagnosed with gluten sensitivity. A writing style that is pleasing and informative, with recipes that are original and enticing. Recommended reading.
Rating: - The support I needed
I felt as if this book (and the writer) understood my life as a person devoted to foods who just so happens to have an allergy to gluten. Before reading this book, I felt alone in this disease. People seemed to have made the assumption that I was a freak who could not enjoy good eating. I believed them, that is, before I read this book.
If you are diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, please read this book! In it you will find:
-how to embrace life and food in a way that you ... Read More
