The dairy-free & gluten-free kitchen : 150 delicious dishes for every meal, every day

By  Denise Jardine  (Find this book)

For anyone with food allergies or intolerances, or dietary restrictions, this earnest volume-an expansion of the author's 2002 book, Recipes for Dairy-Free Living, with 50 new recipes-is a helpful resource. In addition to being dairy-free and gluten-free, its 150 recipes all feature a "free of" key showing which other common dietary red flags (eggs, soy, nuts, sugar) it avoids. While there are plenty of vegetarian entries (like mushroom kale lasagna and grilled polenta with vegetable ragout) there are also dishes for those who crave fish, poultry, and meat-including salmon cakes with kiwi-papaya salsa; chicken with potato and leek in tarragon cream; and lamb tagine with dates. Side dishes include wild lemon pilaf with currants, with accompaniments like olive anchovy tapenade. For dessert there's a pumpkin cheesecake and a chocolate orange pudding with soy velvet whipped cream. Rounding out the book is a selection of basic formulas for such substitutes as gluten-free flour mix and a dairy milk alternative, which arm readers with tools they can use in a variety of recipes. -- Publisher's Weekly

The ultimate rice cooker cookbook : 250 no-fail recipes for pilafs, risotto, polenta, chilis, soups, porridges, puddings, and more, from start to finish in your rice cooker

By Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann  (Find this book)
 

Rice cookers are perfect for how we cook today: Versatile and convenient, they have one-button technology, don’t take up too much counter space, and are a breeze to clean.  And they can do so much more than produce foolproof rice, beans, and grains.  This new edition takes note of the whole-grain revolution in U.S. kitchens and offers recipes for a host of new (and rediscovered) grains, like quinoa, millet, couscous, kamut, and spelt, whose popularity is rising fast. It focuses on a wider variety of rices, too, with lots of ideas for red, black, basmati, jasmine, and Arborio rices, as well as partially milled white rice, which looks and cooks like white rice but has the nutritional value of brown rice.  The authors have also added a complete guide to the newer rice cookers that have come to the market since the original edition, including induction-cooking and pressure-cooking rice cookers and models that replace the old buttons-and-dials approach with more complex digital displays.  Alongside many favorites from the first edition, from Carrot Basmati Pilaf and Italian Sausage Risotto to French Polenta and Maple-Cinnamon Rice Pudding, the 10th anniversary edition serves up more than 50 tempting new recipes, from a rich and soothing Sweet Brown Rice with Curry, Carrots, and Raisins to a warm and satisfying Millet, Winter Squash, and Sweet Pea Pilaf.  -- Amazon
