Gluten-Free Italian: Over 150 Irresistible Recipes without Wheat--from Crostini to Tiramisu (Paperback)
Description
From the author of the Wheat-Free Cook, selected by Sara Moulton on Good Morning America as one of the top ten cookbooks of 2007, Gluten-Free Italian charts new territory.
Many of Italy’s best-loved foods—from ravioli to tiramisu—contain wheat flour, so they’ve been off limits to the gluten-intolerant. Until now. Jacqueline Mallorca creates gluten-free surprises like fresh pasta, rustic breads, delicious vegetable contorni (side dishes) that double as appetizers, and sensational regional desserts. Mallorca’s easy-to-follow recipes make using fresh ingredients an inviting prospect.
Gluten-Free Italian also includes a shopping guide, cooking tips, Italian pantry staples, a glossary of alternative grains and flours, mail-order sources, and celiac resources.

Praise for Gluten-Free Italian: Over 150 Irresistible Recipes without Wheat--from Crostini to Tiramisu…
Publishers Weekly, 11/30/09
“In this flavorful Italian collection, pasta-centered fare is the exception rather than the rule, but the majority of Mallorca’s dishes require no special ingredients at all, a godsend for celiac sufferers often sent hunting for esoterica.”
Taste for Life, February 2010
“Gluten-Free Italian offers satisfying dishes—even pizzas and pastas—that the whole family will love.”
