Emily ，

A really brilliant cook book。 Beautiful photography， great recipes and best of all， some science to explain what you're doing！ I've always made a few substitutions where necessary when baking， and when I had to switch to gluten free baking， I suddenly had no idea what would work。 Katarina gives all the information you need about different types of flour and what all the ingredients are for， and gave me back that knowledge of what could be switched and what couldn't。 The bread recipes are excelle A really brilliant cook book。 Beautiful photography， great recipes and best of all， some science to explain what you're doing！ I've always made a few substitutions where necessary when baking， and when I had to switch to gluten free baking， I suddenly had no idea what would work。 Katarina gives all the information you need about different types of flour and what all the ingredients are for， and gave me back that knowledge of what could be switched and what couldn't。 The bread recipes are excellent， and the biscuit recipes I've tried so far are some of the most delicious I've ever made！ Full of recipes to replace all the basics I miss， but also some that are inspiring and make you want to cook them！ Most good cook books I use either for inspiration， or as someone I trust when I already know what I want to make。 I think this one is the only one I have that does both， and is fast becoming the most used！ 。。。more

This cookery book provides recipes that gluten free but are also decedent and indulgent。 If you want a healthy gluten free baking book or one that includes naturally gluten free recipes， then this is not the one for you！The introduction includes a list of gluten free flours， the use of binders， substitutions， store cupboard staples， and kitchen tools。 The book is then divided into 8 chapters of recipes: Cakes， cupcakes & muffins， brownies， cookies & bars， pies， tarts & pastries， bread， breakfast This cookery book provides recipes that gluten free but are also decedent and indulgent。 If you want a healthy gluten free baking book or one that includes naturally gluten free recipes， then this is not the one for you！The introduction includes a list of gluten free flours， the use of binders， substitutions， store cupboard staples， and kitchen tools。 The book is then divided into 8 chapters of recipes: Cakes， cupcakes & muffins， brownies， cookies & bars， pies， tarts & pastries， bread， breakfast & teatime treats and around the worldAt the beginning of each chapter is an introduction with illustrations and the role on gluten on the particular bake。 It includes information such as the difference between a cupcake and muffin， be that how the case is filled or the consistency of the mixture or how to get a crispy top when baking a cookie。 The pastry chapter shows step by step photographs when making the different types of pastry and bread， though on the bread because it is over two pages I would have liked each picture to have been numbered to make following the steps easier。Each recipes includes preparation time， baking time， serving sizes， how long it can be stored for （if you haven't scoffed it all down！）。， ingredients in metric and a colour photograph。 There is no oven temperature in Fahrenheit nor the gas mark within the recipe instructions though there is a conversion table at the rear of the book。 Some of the recipes use a stand mixer and others are done by hand。Included are classics such as carrot cake， lemon drizzle， chocolate cake， crepes but also savoury such as quiche， cheese twists and breads。Overall this is a lovely book with many different recipes for those that wish to try non-healthy gluten free baking。I received this book from Netgalley in return for a honest review。 。。。more

Amazing cookbook for those looking to expand their knowledge of gluten free baking。 Haven’t had a recipe fail me yet！！ 🥰

‘The only gluten-free cookbook you’ll need’ is no overhyped marketing statement， it’s quite frankly a fact。 Absolutely everything about gluten free baking is broken down， torn appart and examined。 As a coeliac for the past 10years- it’s the book I’ve been looking for for the past decade。 I hope Katarina is already working on a follow up！

I think this is one of the best gluten free cook books that I have ever read。 I really enjoyed the different recipes and had two very happy food testers to try out a few on。 I really liked that there were a few sciencey pages at the beginning。 It was all fascinating。Now on to the recipes I tried out。Apple pie muffins Cinnamon rolls And the gingerbread chocolate chip skillet cookie。The cinnamon rolls were a big hit as they are a favourite in our house and this recipe is a particularly tasty one。

Wow， you will not need another Gluten Free cookbook on your shelves， besides Katarina's 'Baked to Perfection'。 With mouthwatering photography， that makes your tummy rumble at the sight of it。 you just know you are just going to experiment。Katarina does explain the science bit behind the gluten free baking， in a way that's easy to understand but also very interesting。 There are lots of trendy diagrams too。The book is broken up into sections， but a lot of the ingredients you will have in your stor Wow， you will not need another Gluten Free cookbook on your shelves， besides Katarina's 'Baked to Perfection'。 With mouthwatering photography， that makes your tummy rumble at the sight of it。 you just know you are just going to experiment。Katarina does explain the science bit behind the gluten free baking， in a way that's easy to understand but also very interesting。 There are lots of trendy diagrams too。The book is broken up into sections， but a lot of the ingredients you will have in your store cupboards， perhaps one or two like the gluten free blended flour you may need to buy， and specific things for that recipe such as cream for an eclair filling etc， But I'm sure you can pick them up in most supermarkets or online no problem。You will be no doubt spoilt for choice with what to make first。The recipes are easy to follow， many of then have lovely step by step pictures which is great for beginners， and you also know what its meant to look like at different stages， if you haven't done gluten free before。I reckon this is the sort of book that will have earned its place on the kitchen book shelf for eternity。。。。It has everything， sweet things， cake， sweet pies， savory pies， breads， pastries， what's not to love？ Besides gluten， but now you have now excuse， with thanks to Katarina。Now I'm off to eat a chocolate brownie。。。。。 （GF off course！） 。。。more
