Coconut Flour Recipes: Gluten Free, Low-carb and Low GI Alternative to Wheat: High in Fiber and Protein

If I were stuck on an island covered with coconuts, I think I'd be okay... as long as I had this book. I LOVE coconut! in any form. This little recipe book is so full of easy and delicious recipes. The great thing is that you use coconut flour like you would wheat flour but of course it's gluten free. There's a great recipe for biscuits and gravy that my family loved. I had to make seconds! I even made my own tortillas from the recipe in the book. I've read a lot of books on gluten free foods and this one is a definite keeper!

In my daily challenge to keep the suborn pounds off I have been trying many different types of recipes and one friend suggested I try some gluten free, so I decided to give this a try. So far I have tried mostly the bread recipes and those are delicious to say the least. The cornbread recipe is amazing and I also love the bread loaf which is a basic white bread. If you're looking for great tasting gluten free recipe you have to look no farther. Trying something new can be a little scary at first but after trying these recipes your will become a fan too. Great book and great recipes and meal ideas all in one.

One star taken for abrupt ending - I would prefer some sort of footnote to round it off. Also, as this book has not been labelled as Paleolithic but for gluten free (I too, had noticed interchangeability to some extent for some time) It does seem that extra information could have been included. I would like to know if the extraordinary amount of eggs could be easily interchanged with egg substitute, or a combination of that and chia gel. As a vegetarian of many years I am not reluctant to leave fish or meat out and also to place other vegetarian products in their place. I use quorn quite a lot and also seaweed and miso. Perhaps a tip of some sort could have been added for vegetarians/vegans. I am really impressed with the range of recipes and the really clear and explicit instructions. They do seem to be very straightforward which I really appreciate as I am a beginner with coconut flour. I am not sure about my flavouring nor how it will all work out with sweet or savoury items. This issue has been tackled head on with pertinent advice. It is a really good book to add to my confidence in this new venture and I also would have appreciated colour photographs to let me know if my attempt has turned out in anything like the right direction!

I found the recipes frustrating. The number of servings per recipe was never included. Recipes need to be more detailed - example "flatten dough out until thin", but no size (like 10 inches x 12 inches) given. No nutrition information included such as calories per serving, number of grams of fat, number of grams of protein, number of grams of carbohydrate. One recipe called for 1 cup of brown sugar - that is hardly low carb! Yet book title says "low carb and low GI" on cover. Are the recipes really low carb? No publisher information given.

Jennifer L. Davids has created another spectacular recipe book, this time using coconut flour! Who doesn't love the taste of coconut? Dozens of recipes come together in one great book that will unleash your tastebuds to the power of coconut! If you like the simplicity of pancakes, it's here. If you want something a little more complex to challenge your inner chef, why not try the "Cranberry Walnut Bread Loaf"? Do you have the courage to try the "Jalapeno Bacon Bread Loaf"? If so, then get this book now! Recommended to all lovers of coconut flour.

Who makes a cook book without pictures of the recepies? Visuals are extremely important to a cook book and this cookbook had no pictures not even one. Shame. I would not buy this book or any other like it again.

I liked everything about the book! I used it as a substitute sweet breads and loaf cakes made with flour. I baked pumpkin bread and carrot bread, I made pumpkin bread twice. I was able to feel comfortable buying ingredients I had never purchased before. I love the smell of pumpkin flour. It took me some time understanding why so many eggs. But the book explains the roll eggs play in baking. If made me purchase new measuring utensils to increase my enjoyment of the use of coconut flour.

This has some really good recipes that are for everyday use. Can not wait to make them all for my family to enjoy.

Great recipes I really found this book useful.

Interesting introduction to use of coconut flour

Just a few recipes, not really a book. Haven’t tried any yet.

Quick delivery, as described

I haven't used any of the recipes yet, I purchased this as I am antrigued and feel the end results will be tasty. I will update this review once I have tried some out, as I haven't purchased the coconut flour yet.
