You can bake bread and still be gluten-free?

I pre-ordered this book because it sounded amazing and, upon receipt of said book, it has more than lived up to my hopes and expectations. Gluten-Free on a Shoestring Bakes Bread by Nicole Hunn is fantastic. She has taken the work and thought out of figuring out bread and presented it to the world in a beautiful baking book. Although I haven't had time to try any recipes yet, I can tell from the reading of them that she has it 'figured' out. I've used her other two books with great success and know this new one will not disappoint. I've been waiting since July for it to finally reach my greedy, little hands!

The one thing my husband has missed since he discovered he and gluten don't agree on any level is the scent of baking bread and a warm dinner roll. I'm looking forward to treating him to this in the near future.

Just as an aside - I have been planning my Christmas baking and a lot of my cookie recipes, gluten-free, have come from either Nichole Hunn's other books or her fantastic blog. Google just about any gluten-free recipe and you are sure to have several of hers show up.

My Christmas treat for my husband - a warm loaf of bread without the adverse effects.
