Brief description: Bette Hagman (1922-2007), aka the Gluten-Free Gourmet, was diagnosed as a celiac around the age of 50. She was the author of several cookbooks, each offering a multitude of delicious wheat- and gluten-free recipes--what she calls a "prescription for living." She was a writer, lecturer, and long-term member of the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG).

Review Quotes:

"The Gluten-Free Gourmet offers delicious relief for anyone who is allergic to wheat and for those who are intolerant to the gluten found in wheat, oats, barley, and rye."
--Bon Appetit

"Her recipes use flours other than wheat flour, but they are generally uncomplicated and quick to prepare--suitable even for those noncooks who have been craving their forbidden foods."
--Library Journal

"Hagman has again produced a thoughtful, well-researched, and well-written book. I have always liked her positive approach. Her book should be read by all those afflicted with gluten intolerance and those caring for them."
