The South Beach Diet Gluten Solution Cookbook: 175 Delicious, Slimming, Gluten-Free Recipes Hardcover – November 19, 2013

I bought Dr. Agatston's South Beach Diet Gluten Solution book a while ago and it taught me a lot about gluten sensitivity. In fact, I feel so much better now that I've become gluten aware--less brain fog and more energy for starters! So I've been excitedly waiting for The South Beach Diet Gluten Solution Cookbook, which I received recently and can highly recommend. If you want eat to great--and lose weight--while eliminating or cutting back on gluten, this is the cookbook for you. Not only are the 175 recipes, from breakfasts to desserts, all gluten-free and delicious, they are also designed to be diet-friendly, something a lot of other gluten-free cookbooks, which use butter and white rice flour for example, don't pay attention to.I particularly love the fact that more than half of the recipes in the book can be made in 30 minutes or less and that there's a useful glossary of gluten-free foods that includes information on some gluten-free flours, like teff flour and sorghum flour, which I wasn't familiar with. I also love that many of the recipes have "variations," which let you make easy changes to achieve different recipes. An example is the Slow-Cooker Pulled Beef recipe (page 186), which can be engineered into Beef Tostadas; Quick Beef Soup; Beefy Pasta; or Sloppy Joes. This is a great way for busy cooks like me to get lots mileage out of our cooking efforts.I also made the Tofu-Mushroom Lasagna, which actually uses extra-firm tofu to replace the usual wheat pasta. When I served this dish to guests, they had no idea they were eating tofu.So whether you are sensitive to gluten, planning a "wheatless Wednesday," or simply want another wonderful cookbook for your collection, I think this book is a great choice. It certainly will help when you invite someone over for dinner and they say, "Yes, I'd love to come to dinner, but I can't eat wheat."

I have a family member who was newly diagnosed with Celiac's disease.This book was a much needed and pleasant surprise as a Christmas gift.Dr. Agatston is reputable, knowledgeable, and presents the informationin an understandable and concise way.

The recipes are fairly quick and easy to make. They occasionally require out of the norm sweeteners or flours, but I can obtain them on Amazon or large grocery stores.

Lots of great new recipes. I’m a little disappointed there wasn’t more Phase 1 recipes, but plenty of Phase 2 ones to try!

It's in good shape. I opened it up and first thing we saw was a strawberry tart. Haven't had time to make the recipes yet, but they look good. I like to experiment with different gf flours, so will do a recipe as written to find out how good it is, then modify things when I make it again.

The South Beach Diet Gluten solution Cookbook is just like all the South Beach Diet books..Wonderful..South Beach never fails to entertain and amaze me. I Love The South Beach Diet and when I found out I have gluten sensitivity I knew this book would be a wealth of information and recipes to meet my needs and the needs of other friends and family with the same problem. I would recommend this book to anyone who is gluten sensitive or who has to eat gluten free. It made our Christmas Celebration quite a success. Thank you Dr. Agaston for your dedication to healthy living.

First, let me say that I love his other cookbooks - in particular, "The Southbeach Diet Superquick Cookbook" and "The Southbeach Diet Quick and Easy Cookbook." These two contain recipes that have become some of my family's favorites, diet or no diet.I have also read the original Southbeach Diet as well as his new Southbeach Diet Gluten Solution. I believe that the Southbeach Diet works and I like Dr. Agatston and his writing style.Because my husband and I have been moving toward a more gluten free/wheat free lifestyle, I decided to buy "The South Beach Diet Gluten Solution Cookbook." I have tried 7 recipes from this cookbook and there are only about 3 out of those 7 that I will repeat. I am an experienced cook and know how to follow a recipe, but there is just something "off" about the recipes I have tried (and no, it's not because they use gluten-free ingredients, since I have experience using those too.) The "Slow-Cooker Pulled Beef" looked really good, but the flavor of the gravy was just weird. The "Chili Meatloaf" was watery and flavorless. The "Jicama Fries," which started out promising as a french fry alternative, also ended up lacking flavor and just tasting odd.I will go back to his other cookbooks I have and either use Phase One recipes or modify Phase Two recipes for a wheat free diet. Others may like this cookbook, but I didn't find it worked for me.

The way the book is written is very informative. Anyone can use it and there is something for everyone's taste. The recipies are easy to cook and the food is delicious!

I am looking forward to reading and implementing the recommendations from the South Beach Diet Gluten Solution book followed by making recipes from the South Beach Diet Gluten Solution Cookbook. The recipes sound and look very appetizing and the benefits of gluten-free eating should be very beneficial.

I initially borrowed this book from the library and it was so good I had to buy a copy for myself. The recipes are tasty and gets you through phase one without suffering.

Can't wait to get start it! Recipes look amazing :)

Exactly as described. Love the book, delivered on time.

Awesome read
