Product Description
Do you love breads, cakes, pies, cookies, and other wheat products but can't eat them because you are allergic to wheat or sensitive to gluten? Perhaps you avoid wheat because you are concerned about your weight and need to cut down on carbohydrates. If so, the solution for you is coconut flour. Coconut flour is a delicious, healthy alternative to wheat. It is high in fiber, low in digestible carbohydrate, and a good source of protein. It contains no gluten so it is ideal for those with celiac disease. Coconut flour can be used to make a variety of delicious baked goods, snacks, desserts, and main dishes. It is the only flour used in most of the recipes in this book. These recipes are so delicious that you won't be able to tell that they aren't made with wheat. If you like foods such as German chocolate cake, apple pie, blueberry muffins, cheese crackers, and chicken pot pie, but don't want the wheat; you will love the recipes in this book! These recipes are designed with your health in mind. Every recipe is completely free of wheat, gluten, soy, trans fats, and artificial sweeteners. Coconut is naturally low in carbohydrate and recipes include both regular and reduced sugar versions. Coconut flour provides many health benefits. It can improve digestion, help regulate blood sugar, protect against diabetes, help prevent heart disease and cancer, and aid in weight loss.

What I appreciate most are the explanations concerning substituting other sweeteners, etc.; best success with temperature of ingredients; and the variety of different recipes.

We know why we buy coconut flour but how do you use it?
Well this book tells you how. Its different and has to be used in its own way. From personal experience the recipes work. No more gluten, no more wheat, hurrah!
Great recipes, but calls for a lot of eggs June 10, 2008

I was interested in baking with coconut flour. I thought it would be a good alternative to brown rice flour. I bought this book a few months ago and have maybe made 3 recipes. The recipes call for a lot of eggs! My husband is allergic to eggs so this book is not right for our needs. I did make the Triple-Layer Chocolate Cake for a party and everyone loved it (though the recipe calls for 18 eggs!). The recipes also call for a lot of sugar which we limit in our family. The other recipe that we tried and liked is the Walnut-Raisin Muffins (I used coconut oil instead of butter and it worked great).
This book is great to add to your GF / CF library if you don't have a problem with eggs.
