The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook, second edition
Here is another cookbook I just had to post, "The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook". I can hardly try these recipes fast enough. The authors Alissa Segersten and Tom Malterre, MS, CN, are fellow graduates of Bastyr University. This may make me slightly bias :). If you want to dive into a life of whole foods or start cooking with less gluten and dairy this book is a must to add to your cookbook collection.
Yes, many of these recipes are going to take some getting use to. Some of you may need to acquire the taste for certain grains, textures or flavors. This book has a little for everyone.
The recipes in this book are extreme if you haven't tried experimenting with a lot of "alternative" ingredients, but don't get discouraged.
This book is a blessing to those who have to eat gluten-free and dairy-free.
Yes, you will need to stock your pantry with items like: xanthan gum, arrowroot powder and tapioca flour. I typically try to steer away from recipes with these ingredients in them. They don't always turn out tasting like what we are use to. I like to target alternative recipes that use things we are more familiar with. Although, that being said I am determined to pull out the recipes in this book that are wonderful additions to the "normal" good old fashion home cooking we all love.
Keep an eye on my upcoming post. I will share the recipes from this book that I think most all people will love! Enjoy!

Flying Apron
The "Flying Apron" is a gluten-free and vegan bakery in Seattle Washington (Ballard neighborhood to be more exact). It is one of a kind! The "Flying Apron" has finally published a cookbook with all their wonderful recipes! I picked up the cookbook last week and I can't bake the recipes fast enough.
So here is a little plug for "Flying Apron" by Jennifer Katzinger (her and her father opened the bakery back in 2002). If you are on a gluten-free diet, if you are vegan or if you just like to switch up your diet on a daily basis by using various flours and sweeteners (this would be our families reason ;)) then this cookbook is a must for your kitchen library! (I got it for $14 bucks at Costco)
I'll be sure to post the recipes on my blog as I slowly make my way through these original and exciting gluten-free and vegan recipes.
