What intrigues me most about this book is that it uses teff flour…and I already use teff grain in porridge, but would like to know how to incorporate the flour in baked goods!

@vanessa, What intrigues me, is I never knew we have so many different gluten free flours to use. I am excited to learn more as I start my journey
[Reply]
(wait i didn’t notice that you were giving Part 1 away!!!!!!!! THat is what really intrigues me! (How to use quinoa and coconut flour!!!!!)
[Reply]
I am intrigued by these books since they also eliminate corn and eggs, which means ‘safe’ recipes for me!
[Reply]
I like that it teaches how to use and exchange the various ingredients.
[Reply]
I have been gluten free since the beginning of this year and have just given up breads, baked goods and pastas altogether because I didn’t know how to use gluten free flours. I would love to learn how to use these specialty flours.

[Reply]
I have had a severe sensitivity to gluten for the past few years. Baking is 1 of my all time favorite things, and unfortunately I’ve lost some of that passion since I can’t eat anything anymore, and have had many bad attempts at GF baking. I would love to bake things that I, along with the rest of my family, can enjoy. These books would be wonderful!
[Reply]
I have one dd with extreme food allergies. I am always on the lookout for good gluten free resources. We have begun to experiment more with baking, and finding recipes she enjoys that are good for her. She would love to open a gf bakery someday
Her dream at almost 12

I just liked Cook It Allergy Free on Facebook. Have never heard of it today! I’m excited to check it out, since I have multiple food allergies.

Just let all my food-allergy friends know about this giveaway on facebook. Thanks for this opportunity!
[Reply]
In our family, more and more of us are realizing we have significant issues with certain kinds of ingredients. We have four grown children and ten grandchildren, and the sensitivities to food ingredients amazes all of us. We have all become aware that we need to avoid certain “offenders” but it’s often difficult to find suitable substitutions so we can enjoy family favorites again! These books are a great resource!

I love that the recipes are gluten free! I’ve been following both Iris and Brittany on FB for a while and love their stuff!

I am interested in the info on substitution of both the different flours and the refined sugars. Would love to own these books!
[Reply]
I already have these two cookbooks on my “wish list” on Amazon. . . It seems they would take the difficulty out of baking gluten-free when they explain how/when/why, etc. to use all the different flours.
[Reply]
You know what I’m REALLY hoping (besides winning a book, of course) is that these books give a COMPLETE list of ingredients that one SHOULD have on hand for gluten-free baking… AND ALSO maybe some storage suggestions! I can’t tell you how many different size little bags of flour and additives that I have stored in containers in my (cold) pantry. I’ve read that you should store these in the fridge. There is no way all those things would fit in mine! Anyway, I hope I win whether I get answers to these questions or not.
[Reply]
Not only did I post both books on Pinterest, but now I’m following some of your boards, too.
[Reply]
OK! I’m now following Cook It Allergy Free on Facebook!

I would love to learn about different flours. I have tried to use several of the flours mentioned, and the results were bad. These books would be such a help.

I’d just like to have all the info in one place! I’m forever bookmarking useful tips to use later and no one site has everything I want to know. I’m new to gluten-free, so this would be a wonderful reference!

What intrigues me about these books is that at last there are recipes that I can make baked goods with. Some of the the gluten free commercial foods are not always the best choices. These books show that we just need to know our way around some new (old) flours.
Being able to prepare baked items that are tasty also helps remove the stigma of being “the one” The gluten free one, the one that’s always different, the one that can have that or this either…I would love to have these.
[Reply]
What I would love to learn from these books
is how to bake with different flours, how to
sub them for other choises. This intrigues me,
how you can make one recipe, with different
flours!

I am intrigued by the recipes including such a nice variety of flours. Some books only feature 1 type, it’s nice to have other choices.

what interests me about the books is learning the actual specifics about flours – what they are and how they are useful…i have done so much gluten free baking and experimenting…but i only know what i use. i can’t explain it to anyone else…
[Reply]
I would really love these books b/c I just recently started going gluten-free (and feel a lot better by the way) and my fiance is gluten free too. I have always loved baking, but now that I have to bake gluten free it’s more difficult. I have tried to substitute different flours and such but these books would really help make the transition better!

I’ve just started a gluten-free diet and am completely overwhelmed by all the different types of gluten-free flours available, so this book will be a great help! Thanks for having this giveaway!

I am a dietitian who helps people with Celiac Disease or others who benefit from a Gluten-Free diet. These books look like awesome resources to help my clients transition to GF baking with ease and flavor!
[Reply]
Well I just received 25 lbs coconut flour and wondering how I’m going to use it all! Have been GF almost a year (next month) and it’s been hard, but I have no choice so embracing the change and trying to learn how to bake differently. Thanks for guides!

I tweeted about the giveaway: https://twitter.com/Deedeethatsmee/status/256948955223572480, since most of my Facebook friends are not GF, but they’re into fitness, so I may turn them!
[Reply]
I’m intrigued to see which flours work best for which uses. I already am sort of getting the hang of it, but more info is better!

What intrigues me about the book is a pizza crust recipe someone posted from the book when it first came out. It was yeast free (and gluten free) and amazing. My 10 year old even ate it, no questions asked! I would love to try some more of the recipes.

What intrigues me about this books is the ability to learn how to bake with each of these flours based on their innate properties and discovering which one(s) work better for different baking projects. I currently stick with a few common flours because the learning curve for using the other types of flours is fairly high. I would love to be able to use all gluten free flours with more confidence that my baking projects won’t flop because I’m using the best ones for the item I’m making.

What intrigues me most about these books is to learn more about unrefined sugars and how to exchange one for another. I’ve taken the step, late May, to eliminate refined sugars, and now I could use a few pointers with regard to unrefined sugars.
Thank you for offering both of these books as a give-away.

I’ve liked you on FB. As a newbie to GF cooking, I’m very intrigued by your books. I wand to continue my baking obsession….just GF!
[Reply]
Before my girls went gluten free I was not a great baker, I had a few recipes I made all the time and well. I had just mastered bread only to find out they couldn’t have bread. The primary issue I have with most GF recipes is that they call for Rice Flour and I don’t want to use rice flour (trying grain free) so knowing how to sub GF flours would be awesome. If I had a choice I would select Part1 and then if it worked I would purchase Part 2.

What intrigues me about your books is all the different flours that you use. I have been GF for years now, and didn’t really bake at all until I had kids and they want sweets all the time. (they are not GF). I want to bake yummy things that I can eat, too! I am also dairy free and require low glycemic foods, so having a cook book that would give me those resources sounds FABULOUS to me!! Thanks for the opportunity to win one of your books!
