Review Quotes:

" Gluten-Free Baking Classics contains a recipe for chocolate chip cookies that Gourmet magazine claimed were 'perfect' and 'dared anyone to detect that they weren't made with traditional wheat flour.' I took the challenge and tried a test recipe on chocolate chip cookie-lovers...only to find that Gourmet was right and I didn't have enough taste samples to keep up with their enthusiastic appetites."
