Helpful Score: 1

There were some really interesting recipes in this book - I tried Matzoh Ball soup (turned out great) and gnocchi (not bad - maybe some technique issues on my part). I have several others marked to try later. Lots of homestyle & asian meals that need tweaks to make them gluten free, along with a pretty standard selection of baking recipes.

On the downside, I didn't get the "on a shoestring" tie-in. Each recipe was compared to what it would cost to buy frozen or premade. Really ... frozen gluten free gnocchi? I have never seen any. And since almost all the recipes involved gluten free flours, they were inherently expensive.

Overall a creative and accessible cookbook, worth a try even if you feel that you've looked through every other gf cookbook out there.
