subject: Gluten Free Cookbook By Carol Kicinski Offers A Variety Of Quick And Easy Gluten Free Recipes [print this page] DUNEDIN, FlaDUNEDIN, Fla. Gluten free diets can be challenging as health concerns dictate what to eat, often resulting in complicated gluten free recipes comprised of unusual ingredients that take a long time to prepare. Carol Kicinski, with half her family gluten-intolerant and half not, didn't sit quiet and compromise on the state of meal preparation. Instead she set out on a mission to develop gluten free recipes, which were fast to prepare and also provided her and her family the taste, texture and nutrition that equaled or surpassed the normal gluten-filled recipes.
Gluten free meal preparations of Kicinskis are motivating millions to eat healthier. Kicinski is constantly sharing her experiences, meal preparation techniques and tips on television shows, her popular gluten free blog and website, which receives over 500,000 hits a month, in marketplace cooking demonstrations, and now in this her second gluten free cookbook.
Gluten free recipes that are not just good for gluten free but just plain GOOD, period! is Kicinskis recipe motto, which is complemented with her core philosophy of looking at the world of food in terms of what we CAN eat not what we cant.
Gluten free cookbook author Kicinski is the first to tell you that shes not a chef, but a mother who had to learn to cook gluten free in her own kitchen. After enjoying the success of a best-selling gluten free dessert cookbook, SimplyGluten Free Desserts, she has compiled her experiences and complete gluten free meal recipes into her new cookbook, SimplyGluten Free Quick Meals (Thomas Dunne Books, 2012), containing 100 gluten free recipes, including full menus for Simple Suppers that can be made in about 30 minutes, and Easy Entertaining for special occasion meals made in about an hour or less -- setting a new standard as a reference cookbook for people who are gluten-intolerant, and for chefs who must now elevate their meal preparation skills to satisfy the ever growing gluten free consumer demand.
There are many gluten free recipes in Kicinskis cookbook that don't require special ingredients. Many of these recipes are not only gluten free, but also grain and dairy free.
With this cookbook you can have a wide range of complete gluten free meal recipes for your discerning taste buds, your family and guests, and yet you can still be sensitive to good health, while quickly and easily preparing complete meals that would have otherwise remained elusive for the gluten-intolerant.

WHY GLUTEN-FREE?
The Mayo Clinic reported in January 2010 that gluten intolerance is no longer considered rare in the U.S. In fact, thousands of Americans are diagnosed each month with a gluten intolerance, allergy or celiac disease. Celiac disease, better known as a gluten allergy or intolerance, is a hereditary disease that does not allow people to eat gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. In people with celiac disease, gluten damages the lining of the small intestine, making it difficult for the body to absorb nutrients from the food they eat. According to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness, 15% of Americans today are seeking gluten free products in the grocery stores a very loyal consumer as the only remedy to gluten-intolerance or Celiac Disease is simply to not eat gluten.
