Books With Simi (Review) - "150 Best Gluten-Free Muffin Recipes" By Camilla Saulsbury

Good Afternoon Everyone!
Welcome to Books With Simi.. today's review will be on the book
150 Best Gluten-Free Muffin Recipes By Camilla Saulsbury.
Released in February, 2012.
208 pages in the book.
Wicked selection of Gluten-Free Muffin Recipes.
It's so hard to find gluten-free goodies in local stores, so why not just bake your own up at home?
It's easy and you know the ingredients your putting in your food is healthy for you!
I specifically love the Global Muffins recipes.
Muffins recipes from all over the world, I love that idea!
My favorite recipe "Indian Spice Coconut Muffins".

More about the book from (RobertRose.ca):
Gluten-free muffins are the perfect choice when the urge to bake strikes.
You needn’t have an intolerance to gluten or a wheat allergy to love gluten-free muffins. A rapidly growing number of people are moving away from foods that contain gluten because of an allergy or sensitivity, but others avoid it simply because they believe that eliminating it promotes better health in general and digestive health in particular.
Whatever your reasons for going gluten-free, you’re sure to love the exceptional muffins in this collection. And the gluten-free flours used in the recipes have become readily available in the past few years at health stores, in most well-stocked supermarkets and by mail order.
You’ll find it hard to believe that muffins this delicious and satisfying are gluten-free and so easy to make. In addition to expert baking tips and techniques, the gluten-free ingredients glossary will be invaluable to novice and expert gluten-free bakers alike, as will the list of essential and optional kitchen equipment. These fantastic recipes are truly destined to become gluten-free favorites.
