Rediscover the joy of eating with delicious, easy-to-digest recipes and meal planning tips.
Everyday Grain-Free Gourmet: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner provides delectable, easy-to-digest dishes that appeal to family and guests who have food limitations that simply must be met. Unlike other gluten-free cookbooks, Jodi Bager and Jenny Lass offer whole-foods, refined-sugar-free, low-lactose versions of traditional favorites such as waffles, spinach gnocchi, tiramisu, and many others. Moreover, this book is ideal for anyone who wants or needs to improve their health through diet, including those with lactose intolerance, celiac disease, Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome. The benefits of a whole-foods diet are addressed in special sections of the book: The Specific Carbohydrate Diet, Fats, and Menu Planning. The authors also include important and useful information on kitchen tools and equipment, food storage and a list of health-related resources.
About the Author: Jodi Bager is the president of Grain-Free JK Gourmet, a Canadian baked goods manufacturing company, and a baking services consultant. In 2000, after the birth of her second child, Jodi was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a life-destroying intestinal disease. In her search for alternatives to heavy doses of steroid drugs, she tried the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD).
Born and raised in Toronto, Jenny Lass is a freelance writer and cooking consultant with an MA in medical geography from the University of Toronto. In 2001, shortly after she established her writing company WordLink Communications, she was diagnosed with celiac disease and turned to the SCD when the gluten-free diet didn't relieve her symptoms. She was inspired to combine her love of writing, science, and cooking for the Grain-Free Gourmet cookbook series.
