This giveaway is now closed. Commenter #7 is the winner!
First of all, let me say that the title “Cooking Light” almost turned me off of this cookbook. I don’t believe in cooking “light”!
But, as soon as I began salivating over looking through the recipes I was pleasantly surprised.
While many of the recipes call for such things as “low fat milk” (umm, what’s that?), that’s a small thing I can easily overlook.
By adding lots of butter.
Cooking Light The Gluten-Free Cookbook: Simple Food Solutions for Everyday Meals features 150 kid friendly recipes.
This is good, because the wheat allergic person in the house is a kid.
I’ll tell you first what I don’t like about the book: it calls for a lot of prepackaged gluten free food items. For instance, the Bruschetta recipe calls for a GF Italian loaf. That’s fine, but I’m not able to pay $7 for a loaf of GF bread. I would have preferred if the book featured GF recipes for these staple foods.
But, all in all, it’s a wonderful addition to my cookbook collection. I can’t wait to try a few of these recipes out on my 5 year old. Such as:
- Cinnamon-Raisin Muffins with Streusel Topping
- Sour Cream Blueberry Pancakes (we love sour cream pancakes around here and Sadie usually gets coconut flour pancakes, which are awesome – but this recipe will be a lovely change for her)
- Spicy Asian Noodles with Chicken
I’m also offering a copy of Cooking Light The Gluten-Free Cookbook: Simple Food Solutions for Everyday Meals to a winner this week!

Happy Gluten Free eating!
My MIL just found out she has a gluten allergy and is having a rough time figuring out what to eat. This would be perfect for her!

Sounds like a great yummy cookbook! I’m always looking for more GF recipes to try at the bakery.
Sounds fantastic! Would certainly save me time on conversions
I have alot of friends who are gluten free and I love making them food so this would come in handy!
I also prefer cookbooks that don’t rely on expensive mixes or premade items. But, I’m sure I could find dozens of recipes to try in this one anyway! I really like Cooking Light magazine and their recipes, so I’m sure I’d love this book. Thanks for the chance to win!
