Life After Gluten (A.G.): Vol 1. Breakfasts & Desserts, written by Tamara Green, is an e-cookbook brimming with over 100 delicious gluten-free recipes. The book is thoughtfully organized into six broad categories: Breakfast delights like Doughnuts, Pancakes, and Quick Breads; sumptuous Cakes and Tortes; irresistible Cookies & Bars; luscious Fillings & Sauces; tempting Glazes, Icing & Toppings; and delightful Sweet Pies & Pastries. Alongside these recipes, Tamara also provides insights that could enhance your cooking experience, such as the significance of an electronic scale, strategies on how to avoid kitchen contamination, and educating readers about gluten. She also shares tips on navigating restaurants while on a gluten-free diet. From basic banana muffins to cherry goat cheesecake, and Nanaimo bars to coconut macarons, this e-cookbook offers a wide variety of dietary-friendly recipes, including dairy-free, diabetic-friendly, and vegan options.

I loved the collection of gluten-free recipes in Tamara Green’s Life After Gluten (A.G.): Vol 1. Breakfasts & Desserts. Tamara has covered a wide range of dishes, ensuring that there is something for everyone. The directions are easy to follow, with anecdotes at the beginning of some recipes to give them a more personal touch. The photographs of the finished dishes help a novice chef like me to imagine what the end product would look like and work toward that. I especially loved the story Mr. and Mrs. Monocot, narrated by Tamara, to explain why oats are gluten-free even if they’re from the same family as wheat. Tamara has also provided handy links, such as the one for gluten-free graham crackers in the recipe for Nanaimo bars, which will help in a seamless cooking experience.
