    Hi Elana!

    You mention that you are surprised that your cook book is still getting publicity. Believe me - your cook book deserves all the rave reviews and publicity it gets - and more!!! You have made life bearable for so many families - introducing them to almond flour.
    I was invited recently to a dinner with several gluten-free friends and we all took some dish. I made a huge apple crisp. The cry from everyone was "What did you use for the crisp? When I told them almond flour and no sugar they all said "why didn't someone think of that earlier? When I told them about your book with it's many recipes they all agreed that Borders would be their first stop in the morning - or failing that they would come home and get onto Amazon.com.

    Good luck ! Elizabeth Richardson, Tucson

    It is a great cookbook. We are making treats from it several times a week now. Our family is keeping an emphasis on fruits, vegetables, berries and good quality meat, fish, eggs and chicken. These are the foods we all need everyday for good health.

    we love this cookbook! seriously, my partner is on the SCD diet and we use your book with some alterations and the food is actually good! Ha! I love that it is dairy free as well (mostly), the problem with a lot of SCD books is they use so much butter and cheese...this is a refreshing book that makes it fun to cook for someone on a special diet!

    Hi jenzyme, we are also on SCD, I'm thinking of buying Elanas book. I'm wondering if the pizza crust and savory pie crust recipes are SCD complient or easy to change so they would be. Thanks Jayne

    We are on the SCD too. The savory Pie crust is delicious and SCD legal. The pizza crust is also SCD legal, but we haven't tried it yet. I highly recommend the cookbook. A few of the recipes call for arrowroot powder, but I just use extra almond flour, and they turn out fine.

    I recently bought this wonderful cook book, But I won't use agave, and neither will many people who I know. I imagine that if I substitute honey for the agave, that the measurements would be equal? If not, does anyone know the exchange?

    I am new to this website and blog and am very happy to find it. I have recently had to go gluten free (SCD) for health reasons and since I do love to cook, I went ahead and ordered the cookbook. It is wonderful! I got it yesterday and am looking forward to trying the recipes. After reading the post about the apple crisp, I think I will try that first. Thank you Elana!

    I know that this may be a sacrilege, but I use regular sugar (and sometimes stevia) instead of agave. Sugar is less sweet, so I use about 1/3 more. Honey and maple syrup are good in some recipes, but not all because they have such pronounced flavors. Sometimes the liquids have to be adjusted. Trial and error seems to be the name of the game in this gluten free universe.
