Though Gluten-Free Girl's blog (www.glutenfreegirl.com) receives nearly a million hits per month, the statistics aren't the full story. The blog is beloved by fans because Shauna Ahern's writing and recipes are so inspiring. The days are gone when a diagnosis of celiac disease or gluten-intolerance was a culinary death sentence, and Gluten-Free Girl has long been leading the movement for change. Forget about dwelling on depriving yourself of wheat-based foods like bread and cookies -- in this new collection, there are recipes for those and so much more. All of the dishes were created with every-day cooking in mind, with more accessible techniques and ingredients than the author's last book which, though acclaimed, was a little intimidating for beginner cooks. As fans will expect and love, the stories throughout the book are plentiful and heart-warming, along with photos of Shauna and her family together, and of course gorgeous photography of the food by acclaimed photographer Penny De Los Santos.
