Gluten-Free Cookbook Review and Giveaway: 125 Gluten-Free Vegetarian Recipes

I have had a number of requests from my readers and Facebook fans for a good vegetarian/vegan gluten-free cookbook. Carol Fenster’s recently published 125 Gluten-Free Vegetarian Recipes is now available to all! It not only provides us with typical vegetarian recipes, but is presented in the standard gluten-free cookbook fashion, providing us with all of reminders when to look for a gluten-free product. This is a great gluten-free cookbook whether you’re a vegetarian or not! And by the way, it contains bonus baking recipes for vegans!

Carol provides us with 7 reasons to eat a plant-based diet. A few of them are:

• maintain a healthy weight
• reduce the risk of heart disease
• increase energy
• improve digestion by increasing fiber and whole grains
• overall well being

[showmyads]Of course there are the typical reasons why people choose a vegetarian diet, but I thought the ones listed above may give you food for thought.

So far I have made 2 of her recipes from this vegetarian and gluten-free cookbook:

Vegetarian and Gluten-Free Scones; and

Vegetarian and Gluten-Free Falafel and Dill Yogurt Sauce.

I have to tell you the scones were wonderful! And though I didn’t have any luck with the deep-fry method of the falafel, the baked method turned out great and was very flavorful. Though I may cut back on the cayenne in the dill yogurt sauce next time. I like just a little heat. My husband enjoyed them both very much! He’s devoured the scones. They sure were moist compared to most scones.

The publishers of 125 Gluten-Free Vegetarian Recipes has kindly offered to sponsor a giveaway of Carol’s new book. Check it out below. It’s very easy to enter! And for those of you new to blogging, your email address only shows up for me to view.  Good luck!
