So many gluten-free cookbooks feature flour mixes that contain 60-75% highly refined starches such as tapioca flour, cornstarch, sweet rice flour and potato starch. Jean Duane, Alternative Cook focuses on using a higher percentage of gluten-free whole grains such as sorghum flour and brown rice flour. She shows many innovative substitutions for dairy products and other allergens. After two years of developing and triple-testing recipes, the results are just spectacular! These baked items rival those made with traditional ingredients. And she makes it easy with time and money-saving tips like pre-packaging your own mixes.

The cookbook shows ingredient comparisons - photos and notes on what happens in a recipe when one ingredient is changed. For example, what happens when you use xylitol (a sweetener used by diabetics) versus sugar; tapioca flour versus Expandex™ (a tapioca flour derivative); sugar versus stevia and more. It even contains a recipe for margarine.
