As someone who loves baking, I honestly have felt a huge sadness each holiday as I have to relegate myself to tasteless desserts and recipes that produce cookies with a texture more suited to building materials or projectiles rather than consumption. So I was very intrigued to try recipes from FLOURLESS.I am a book person, not just a baker so I want to say something about the book itself (and not just the recipes) as that sort of thing matters to me.The quality of the book itself is lovely. The illustrations and pages feel classic, something that belongs beside my CANAL HOUSE COOKING series. I love cookbooks with a bit of personal history or story before each venture or a bit of personalization and this book is rich with it.Now to the real thing, the baking! So far I've tried the Strawberry Rhubarb Maple Cake, Pear-Chocolate Cake, Walnut Torte with Coffee Cream and Pavlova with Cream and Berries and today we (my kids and I) will venture into the Chewy Cinnamon Molasses Cookies. I love that these recipes have a lot of flavor, and while the cookbook is definitely a goodies book, you are presented with recipes that rely on flavor, fruit and natural sweeteners like maple syrup rather than huge amounts of sugar. They also have (or so it seems) more protein than a lot of desserts due to the use of egg whites and nut flours, which I like. We have not yet had one kitchen disaster, I'm proud to say! They are also very pretty desserts. I was especially impressed with the presentation of the Pear-Chcolate Cake and made a note that I will make that for future events as it has a wow factor. I also wanted to add, on a practical level, Gluten Free cooking is notoriously expensive. The only investment I had to make to make these recipes was a coffee grinder for grinding some of the nuts. I'm grateful to be able to bake out of my kitchen again without feeling like taking a class in chemistry.I have already purchased an additional copy as a gift for a friend. I don't often review on Amazon but this is a real must-buy if you are like me, a former gingerbread queen missing the warm smells of the holidays or the morning comfort of coffee cake.
