I received this as a Goodreads Giveaway！ Thank you！I am so excited to try out a bunch of these recipes this weekend！ I just recently found out I had to switch to a GF lifestyle， so this cookbook came at the perfect time。 I am sadly allergic to tree nuts， so I will have to find some alternatives for certain recipes， but overall， super excited for this one！

There is only one recipe I might make。 Not your typical grocery list type of collection。

The food allergy professional in me is totally cringing at some of these recipes after she claims to live a gluten and dairy free lifestyle。 Sprouted wheat bread， goat cheese， and worchestershire sauce？！ Even the fudge with sunflower seed butter says nut allergy friendly in her blurb but then contains almonds。 I did take a picture of the honey marshmallows to try， and the recharge breakfast bowl reminded me I haven't bought quinoa in awhile。 Unfortunately， most of the other ideas were non-compli The food allergy professional in me is totally cringing at some of these recipes after she claims to live a gluten and dairy free lifestyle。 Sprouted wheat bread， goat cheese， and worchestershire sauce？！ Even the fudge with sunflower seed butter says nut allergy friendly in her blurb but then contains almonds。 I did take a picture of the honey marshmallows to try， and the recharge breakfast bowl reminded me I haven't bought quinoa in awhile。 Unfortunately， most of the other ideas were non-compliant for our family because they did， in fact， contain dairy and/or gluten， or are very heavy with our other anaphylactic allergens which I do not bring into the home， like nuts and flax。 The positives were the beautiful food photos， nicely divided sections， and Kristin is of course stunning。 。。。more

Found most of the recipes to be unoriginal/uninspiring。

Definitely one for people trying to switch/ needing to switch to a gluten-free diet and reducing their intake of sugar。 That said， be aware you will need to get several new ingredients to prepare many of these recipes。 Recipes that really stood out:Banana Bread with Espresso Cashew Mascarpone 38Nashville Hot Chicken Salad Cups 67Tortilla-Crusted Chicken Fingers 69Sunday Wings Two Ways Chopped Kale CaesarGround Bison Slow-Cooker Chili 89Slow-Roasted Chicken 135Cajun Fried Chicken 150Spicy Braised Definitely one for people trying to switch/ needing to switch to a gluten-free diet and reducing their intake of sugar。 That said， be aware you will need to get several new ingredients to prepare many of these recipes。 Recipes that really stood out:Banana Bread with Espresso Cashew Mascarpone 38Nashville Hot Chicken Salad Cups 67Tortilla-Crusted Chicken Fingers 69Sunday Wings Two Ways Chopped Kale CaesarGround Bison Slow-Cooker Chili 89Slow-Roasted Chicken 135Cajun Fried Chicken 150Spicy Braised Kale 151Braised Red Cabbage 156Thanksgiving Day Stuffing 164Coffee Energy Bites 185Cashew Butter Bars 187Almond Cherry Date Bars 189Pumpkin Spice LatteCashew Eggnog 221Cortado 228Apple Cider 229Vanilla Chai Latte 232Sweet & Tangy BBQ SauceClassic Basil Pesto 256Orange Cranberry Jam 。。。more

Great so far！ I've only had the opportunity to try a couple of the recipes so far， but those I tried were amazing！ I did substitute sea salt for the Himalayan salt， but otherwise kept things the same。 I want to try the same recipe with the Himalayan salt - I just didn't have any on hand。 Love it！ Great so far！ I've only had the opportunity to try a couple of the recipes so far， but those I tried were amazing！ I did substitute sea salt for the Himalayan salt， but otherwise kept things the same。 I want to try the same recipe with the Himalayan salt - I just didn't have any on hand。 Love it！ 。。。more

Ok。 Recipes have a lot of ingredients in them， but they are fairly simple。 Tasty enough。

I love this cookbook！ After I read Goodreads giveaways， I donate them to our small local library， but I think I'll be selfish and keep this one。 I'm used to eating gluten free， but comfort foods without gluten AND without refined sugars is just what I need。 It's easy to stick to a few standbys instead of trying new recipes and these look awesome。 I don't know which recipes to try first but I think it will be one of the Mexican entrees and carrot cake pancakes。 I didn't mention the photography。 T I love this cookbook！ After I read Goodreads giveaways， I donate them to our small local library， but I think I'll be selfish and keep this one。 I'm used to eating gluten free， but comfort foods without gluten AND without refined sugars is just what I need。 It's easy to stick to a few standbys instead of trying new recipes and these look awesome。 I don't know which recipes to try first but I think it will be one of the Mexican entrees and carrot cake pancakes。 I didn't mention the photography。 There are wonderful full-page pictures of almost every meal。 。。。more

Got it from the library—I am going to buy it。 It creates gluten-free and lactose-free recipes without including difficult ingredients like xanthum or exotic flours that require trips to fancy grocery stores。 Just simple， healthy substitutions。

I love comfort food so putting a healthier spin on all of it is very exciting！ Some of these recipes look absolutely delicious and will become regulars in my dinner rotations。

While I personally am not gf， my friend is allergic to gluten， so I'm really excited to try these recipes with them。 The book itself is good quality， it's very nicely made and is durable which is ideal for cookbooks。 I can't really say anything about the recipes themselves since most of the recipes use uncommon/rare cooking ingredients。 I will have to deliberately buy the ingredients for these recipes， it's not really any recipe you can make on a whim。 While I personally am not gf， my friend is allergic to gluten， so I'm really excited to try these recipes with them。 The book itself is good quality， it's very nicely made and is durable which is ideal for cookbooks。 I can't really say anything about the recipes themselves since most of the recipes use uncommon/rare cooking ingredients。 I will have to deliberately buy the ingredients for these recipes， it's not really any recipe you can make on a whim。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 if you want to make all your classic favorites from scratch and be diary and gluten free this is for you。There is sauce， bison meatballs， pumpkin lattes。 Breakfast， lunch and dinner options are included with drinks and desserts。 She even goes thru classic holiday dishes that you can make free of the D&G。 I enjoy knowing the recipes are there should I want to circle back to them but she makes too much from stuff from scratch for me to fully get in on this one。

I received this cookbook from a Goodread Giveaway。I thought this cookbook was beautifully photographed - I am a fan of cookbooks with food photography - and I liked that almost all of the recipes were photographed。 I found the recipes to be approachable and what I call ‘beginner-friendly。’ Most of the recipes appeal to me and my family’s likes。 I’ve made a few food and drink recipes and they have all been really good。 My biggest criticism of the book is that some of the recipes aren’t truly glut I received this cookbook from a Goodread Giveaway。I thought this cookbook was beautifully photographed - I am a fan of cookbooks with food photography - and I liked that almost all of the recipes were photographed。 I found the recipes to be approachable and what I call ‘beginner-friendly。’ Most of the recipes appeal to me and my family’s likes。 I’ve made a few food and drink recipes and they have all been really good。 My biggest criticism of the book is that some of the recipes aren’t truly gluten-free。 。。。more

I can definitely see why people aren’t thrilled with this cook book 。 It doesn’t appear to be GF as it claims for a lot of the recipes 。 The recipes also refer you to another page for a further recipe which is honestly really annoying 。 One of the recipes alone was 3 recipes deep that I had to flip to 3 different sections in the book 。 That was irritating but nothing as annoying as this 。The first recipe I went to make “dads meatballs” didn’t have the time or temperature in which the meatballs s I can definitely see why people aren’t thrilled with this cook book 。 It doesn’t appear to be GF as it claims for a lot of the recipes 。 The recipes also refer you to another page for a further recipe which is honestly really annoying 。 One of the recipes alone was 3 recipes deep that I had to flip to 3 different sections in the book 。 That was irritating but nothing as annoying as this 。The first recipe I went to make “dads meatballs” didn’t have the time or temperature in which the meatballs should cook at 。。。 like that’s a joke 。 This is a cook book and you don’t put in the amount of time or temperature and which the recipe should bake for ？！ That’s a HUGE error for again， A COOK BOOK。 I gave the review an average because I did like the meatballs 。 I put them in at 400 for 20 minutes if anyone needs to know lol 。 。。。more

If you don't have anything nice to say don't say it。。。 so I will just *eye roll*。 Could've been more pictures other than Kristin looking like a Stepford Wife。Also， I'm not gluten-free so it escaped my notice that this "Free of Gluten" book includes a recipe that is objectively NOT free of gluten。。。 but for that reason， I lowered my rating from a 2 to a 1 cause I mean。。。 come on。Goodreads Choice Nom 2020 If you don't have anything nice to say don't say it。。。 so I will just *eye roll*。 Could've been more pictures other than Kristin looking like a Stepford Wife。Also， I'm not gluten-free so it escaped my notice that this "Free of Gluten" book includes a recipe that is objectively NOT free of gluten。。。 but for that reason， I lowered my rating from a 2 to a 1 cause I mean。。。 come on。Goodreads Choice Nom 2020 。。。more

Ought to be titled “False Comfort: Mostly Gluten-Free Cooking for People Who Want to Pretend They Eat Gluten-Free”

Gluten free recipe options & availability of ingredients have come along way， and this collection surely helps。

Uninspiring photos Meat heavy dishes The author strikes up some model like photos here and there。。。 wonder why， considering it is a cook book ！

This cookbook didn’t inspire me to make any of the recipes。 I felt like I have seen all of these ideas before and from better cookbook authors。All this book did was make me want to buy neutral sweaters and jackets as I am a fan of the clothes she was photographed in 😂

It is a very nice book but did not blend with my cuisine。

I received this cookbook from a Goodread giveaway。I try to avoid refined sugar for health reasons due to a health condition I have， and so I was looking forward to this book。 However， the recipes aren't anything special and the author clearly believes in some woo。 It also does come across as an opportunity for the author to talk about how wealthy she is on a lot of the recipes。 Still， there are a few recipes that I can use and that look good， so I'm rounding up my 2。5 to a 3。 I received this cookbook from a Goodread giveaway。I try to avoid refined sugar for health reasons due to a health condition I have， and so I was looking forward to this book。 However， the recipes aren't anything special and the author clearly believes in some woo。 It also does come across as an opportunity for the author to talk about how wealthy she is on a lot of the recipes。 Still， there are a few recipes that I can use and that look good， so I'm rounding up my 2。5 to a 3。 。。。more

This is a great book features favorite recipes for cozy breakfasts， lunches， dinners & drinks with tips & tricks to put together well-stocked pantry， fridge， & freezer that goes beyond traditional cookbook to help feel like more in kitchen。

Why is reading cookbooks so relaxing？ Also， justice for Kristin！ She was my favorite on Laguna Beach because she didn’t take anyone’s shit and was painted unfairly as the villain。 This also inspired me to make my husband watch it because he missed out back in the day。 Early 2000’s nostalgia！ P。S。 I’ve only tried a few of her recipes， but they were bomb。 👍🏻

I loved Kristen's first cookbook， but only a handful of the recipes appealed to me。 The recipes in True Comfort are much more accessible and I want to make nearly everything。 I've already made about ten recipes from this cookbook and I've really liked everything so far （except for one thing that I thought was just ok）。 I love that it has healthier recipes that are easy to make but still delicious。 This is definitely my favorite cookbook right now。 I loved Kristen's first cookbook， but only a handful of the recipes appealed to me。 The recipes in True Comfort are much more accessible and I want to make nearly everything。 I've already made about ten recipes from this cookbook and I've really liked everything so far （except for one thing that I thought was just ok）。 I love that it has healthier recipes that are easy to make but still delicious。 This is definitely my favorite cookbook right now。 。。。more
