In 1988, when Carol Fenster, Ph.D. walked out of her doctor’s office with the phrase “Don’t eat wheat” ringing in her ears, gluten intolerance was a virtually unheard of condition. As someone who “lives to eat,” Fenster got to work right away, revamping her entire repertoire of dishes to exclude gluten, a protein commonly found in wheat. Twenty years later, she is an internationally recognized expert on gluten-free cooking, advisor to hundreds of families, and the author of seven books on the subject—who better to deliver the most inspiring, comforting, and comprehensive gluten-free cookbook available, 1,000 GLUTEN-FREE RECIPES (Wiley Hardcover; October 6, 2008; $35).

Once considered extremely rare, gluten intolerance has become one of the nation’s leading dietary concerns. Three million Americans have celiac disease, an autoimmune form of gluten intolerance, and an estimated eight percent of Americans buy gluten-free products. The good news is that awareness is on the upswing: Elizabeth Hasselbeck, co-host of “The View” and a celiac herself recently discussed the topic on air; national food magazines like Gourmet commonly feature gluten-free recipes; and it was even the focus of an episode of FOX television’s hit drama “House.”

A careful diet is the only treatment for this condition. More companies are producing gluten-free foods, giving people more choices to make this new way of eating work. But preparing your own food is the best way to know what is really on your plate and to know that the food will be delicious and satisfying—for the whole family. This unmatched recipe collection allows people to enjoy:

• Once off-limits dishes like Margarita Pizza, as well as Handmade Pasta to go with any sauce, Chicken Pot Pie, Buttermilk Pancakes and Apple Cinnamon Muffins,
• Kid-friendly favorites like Macaroni and Cheese and Quesadillas
• Baked goods like (a no-knead) Breakthrough Ready-to Bake Yeast Bread, Rosemary Focaccia in a Skillet, Cherry Pie, Old-Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake, and classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

Fenster answers the (hungry) call for favorites-turned-gluten-free and offers much more—including hundreds of naturally gluten-free and healthful dishes that can easily become part of any family’s repertoire, such as Grilled Teriyaki Tuna, Jamaican Jerk Pork Roast, Crispy Baked Smashed Potatoes, and Baked Acorn Squash. She proves that a gluten-free lifestyle is not a sacrifice nor synonymous with boring meals, and shows how to fit these dishes into everyday life with more than fifteen menus for weeknight dinners, special occasions, and holidays.

More than just a cookbook, 1,000 GLUTEN-FREE RECIPES also shares helpful information such as:
* A clear definition of gluten, foods it is found in, and substitutions
* An overview of conditions that require or could benefit from a gluten-free diet
* A comprehensive section on baking, with a guide to using and blending gluten-free flours
* Shopping guidelines, pointers on reading food labels, and advice on building a gluten-free pantry

With this latest book in the popular, award-winning 1,000 Recipes series, Fenster brings together the most authoritative and accessible collection of delicious gluten-free recipes on the market. She leaves no stone unturned in this treasure-trove of recipes. It’s no wonder her fans refer to her as the “gluten-free goddess”!
