Is this book worth it? ABSOLUTELY
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
As a vegetarian I am always looking for cookbooks that will expand my cooking experience. This is a well written book with many well thought out recipes that are easy to follow. It is a keeper for my kitchen library and will be passed on to a "deserving" friend or family member only upon my death. I highly reccomend this book to anyone who is NOT gluten intolerant.
Save Money, Save Your Health!

Gluten has been a well-kept secret of certain religions and peoples of our society. It is finally coming into the light in today's health-conscious society. With quality whole wheat available now to anyone with a postal address, the technique of cooking with gluten, either as a meat substitute or a meat filler, can be practiced by everyone. I first discovered gluten in the seventies in a Magic Mill Mormon cookbook. As the making of gluten is fairly time-consuming, I learned to make a lot at a time and storing it for future use. I have made countless meat dishes with either only gluten or gluten and meat, and most people wouldn't realize any difference! I hope shoppers aren't deceived by the idea that most recipes available are Oriental; gluten can be used by everyone. Certainly, the making of gluten can be easier using a large mixer, but can actually be done by the strong of hand. Highly recommended book, an excellent resource!
First recipe tried was MOST EXCELLENT!

The first recipe I tried from the book left us with a 'meat-like' product that resembled and tasted like chicken fried steak. It was delicious and the whole family ate it like gang-busters. Storing vital wheat gluten in the cabinet is a much cheaper alternative than purchasing meat and then having to keep it under refrigeration. Strong BUY recommendation.
