FOR MY HUSBAND,
Brian

O VER SIX YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE THE PUBLICATION OF THE ORIGINAL EDITION OF THIS BOOK. IN the gluten-free world, so much has changed. We have more gluten-free products available to us than we had ever imagined possible. In many cases, theyre even sharing shelf space with conventional foods. A gluten-free dream come true!

In my world, as much as things have changed, theyve stayed the same as well. Ive written four other cookbooks, but the blog is still strong, vibrant, and updated every week of every year. And I dont plan to stop.

In fact, I feel more obligated than ever to promise you, my reader, that I wont stop. Ill be here with you, every step of the way. As more gluten-free products become available to us, I will continue to be honest with you about what works and what doesnt. I will never be beholden to any one food or products company. I will continue to refuse to accept free products, much to my husband and childrens frustration. With every new book, every blog post and product I offer online, I ask you to trust me. And I must be worthy of that trust.

The original edition of this cookbook had no more than a few photos, and this edition has beautiful color photos throughout. But the difference between this edition and the first is much more than just visuals. Almost every corner of this cookbook has been edited and revised. We have taken pains, however, to strike that perfect balance between shiny new content that demonstrates what I have learned over the last six years and preservation of old content that merely needed a light touch or simple refinement to bring it up to date.

The most significant lesson in gluten-free cooking and baking that I have learned over the years has to be my understanding of gluten-free flours and blends. When I first wrote the original edition of this cookbook, just the idea of developing recipes around an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend was revolutionary. In fact, the book was criticized in some arenas for that aspect alone. Years later, I stand by that original decision. Baking with an all-purpose blend using well-crafted gluten-free recipes normalizes the whole process in a very important way. Especially when you first begin cooking and baking gluten-free, normalcy is the holy grail. However, not all all-purpose blends are created equal. I have a few brands that I recommend, and I have also worked hard to reverse engineer those blends to allow you to re-create them at home if you prefer not to, or are not able to, buy them ready-made.
