Alongside such kid-tested and approved recipes, Gluten-Free Family Favorites teaches the ins and outs of a gluten-free diet, including how to maintain a gluten-free kitchen, avoid cross-contamination, reduce the higher grocery bills that can come with a gluten-free diet, and empower children to select and prepare food for themselves.

Praise for Gluten-Free Family Favorites

“Kelli and Peter Bronski offer us a wealth of recipes, designed with gluten-free families in mind. I love that this food is easy to make but still full of flavors. I want to make the Cashew Cream Scones, Breaded Zucchini Chips, and the Coconut Shrimp with Mango Dipping Sauce now! With three small children, the Bronskis know how to feed kids who need to live without gluten and get them involved in the cooking too.”

“Gluten-Free Family Favorites is a gift to those looking for recipes to feed the whole family, whether gluten-free or not. There’s no weird food here, just good food that happens to be gluten-free. In addition to the scrumptious lineup of 75 recipes, several additional features set this book a step above the rest. Of particular note, the “Kids can . . .” sidebars are tremendously helpful. If you are just getting used to cooking gluten-free, or to cooking, period, you can certainly use the extra hands in the kitchen, and when kids help cook, they’re guaranteed to eat it. Also significant are the alternatives at the foot of every recipe to help adapt these recipes to other dietary restrictions, such as dairy-free, nut-free, or vegan. While the recipes are notably kid-centric, they will appeal both to the kids and to the kid in all of us. These delicious home-style recipes are sure to keep your family happy, healthy, and busy in the kitchen for years to come.”

It is an invaluable resource for families living a gluten-free lifestyle, who not only want food that’s nutritious and safe to eat, but also delicious meals that are truly enjoyable for everyone at the table (gluten-free or not). I know this is a cookbook that my family will use for years to come!”
