Review
I have followed Diana’s blog Real Healthy Recipes for about a year now, but I only recently became serious about going wheat-free and possibly grain free. The hardest thing about this (for me) is figuring what to eat to replace my favorite comfort foods. This book really fills that need. I devoured the book and marked several recipes to try and the ones that I have tried turned out fantastic and taste great – all without using grains! The ingredients needed are easy to find and the cooking techniques are not crazy or hard to follow. I just finished making the Crispy Orange Chicken (p. 108) and I serviced with with Cauliflower Rice (p. 122) and it was hit with my family. There are so many others that I could mention, but I guess I will just say that if you want to cook “comfort foods” that are grain free then you have to get a copy of this cookbook! On a side note, these recipes are also dairy, soy, gluten and cane sugar free.
