Review

Katzinger's expertise sets this book apart. As founder of the Flying Apron Bakery in Seattle and author of Flying Apron's Gluten-Free and Vegan Baking Book, Katzinger bucks the stereotype of gluten-free baking as boring and tasteless.  Her recipes...would be welcome on anyone's holiday table, whether the host is vegan, gluten-free, or just hungry. Katzinger also includes tips on where to source specialty ingredients (just in case your local supermarket doesn't regularly stock teff), and organizes her recipes into complementary menus for each holiday that make planning out your meal a breeze.

This book is sure to impress the vegan in your life, or be useful to impress one. [Witch's Pumpkin Brew Stew] demonstrated how truly good a vegan dish can be.

This book is more than recipes for the cold weather holidays; Katzinger's included recipes for all the biggies, including Halloween, Hanukkah, and St. Patty's. Who else desperately misses Irish soda bread? Actually I could say that about dozens of holiday foods -- who misses Challah bread? Shortbread, stuffed cabbage, etc.--and this book covers all of those, plus plenty more "man, I really miss that [holiday food]!" dishes.

Not only does Jennifer create foods without using milk, eggs, soy, wheat, or animal-derived ingredients, but her recipes retain all of the charm of traditional holiday offerings without one all too common ingredient: guilt... This particular book has found its rightful place alongside my other treasured gluten-free cookbooks.  Now, when I'm inspired to start making those naughty holiday desserts, there is somewhere to turn for sensible, digestible guidance.  I highly recommend this book for anyone living gluten free lifestyle, or cooking for anyone who is not able to enjoy foods containing dairy, soy, wheat, or eggs.
