The Best-Ever Wheat and Gluten Free Baking Book: 200 Recipes for Muffins, Cookies, Breads, and More, All Guaranteed Gluten-Free!


There was a time when being diagnosed with celiac disease or learning you had a sensitivity to wheat or gluten meant a lifetime of dry, tasteless baked goods that crumbled in your hands and often weren't worth the effort you put in to make them. Not any more!

Today, easy-to-use alternative flours, grains, and flavorings are on supermarket shelves everywhere, which means you don't have to learn any new baking techniques or search the Internet for untried ingredients with names you can't pronounce.

In this book you'll find more than 200 easy-to-follow recipes -- from moist and hearty breads and muffins to sweet-tooth-satisfying cookies, cakes, and pies -- that friends and family will devour. Made with a variety of healthful frains and flours that are packed with protein, these tasty treats will boost energy levels and lift spirits.

Recipes include:

  • Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • Blueberry Muffins
  • Baked Rice Pudding
  • Birthday Cake
  • Brownies
  • Cornbread
  • And many more!

Free Cookbooks For Kindle: Linked List of Over 100 Free Classic Cook Books (Free Books on Kindle)


UPDATED AUGUST 1st 2011

There are over 100 free cookbooks included in this linked list for easy download and all of them are part of Amazon's permanent collection. I didn't include any new promotional cookbooks which are only free for a couple weeks before the publisher raises the price.

Some of these cookbooks date back to the 1600's, but the majority were published during the 19th century. Some are manuals for professional cooks, others are beginners guides. Some are collections of recipes from church ladies and charitable groups, others are focused on desserts, canning, vegetarian diets, etc. There's even a White House cookbook from after the Civil War.

You can still make the recipes from "Twenty-Five Cent Dinners for Families of Six" but you can't do it for a quarter unless you're shoplifting all of the ingredients. The philosophy of eating well and cheaply is a common theme in many early cookbooks, but there are also some cookbooks focused on high-end ingredients for epicures.

For every title, I include a "more info" link that includes a small excerpt from the linked cookbook, to give you an idea whether it is worth your time to download. If the author wrote a descriptive introduction, it is reproduced. If there is no introduction, a few sample recipes or a list of recipe tiles is given. When the book is more oriented to nutrition or health than recipes, the sample is usually from the preface. But don't skip by some of the large Victorian household books that include everything about running a home, including hundreds of recipes. I try to include some fun recipes in the excerpts, like three ways to make a cheese sandwich.

This list of all the free classic cookbooks on Amazon works three ways. If you click the linked title, it will bring you directly to the product page for the free cookbook in the Kindle store. If you are using a Kindle 3, an iPad, or other eBook reader with a decent web browser, you can sign into your Amazon account and download the cookbook immediately.

If you are reading on an older Kindle 2 or Kindle 1, you can add the book to your Wish List and the next time you use a computer to access Amazon, you can have the Wish List items sent to your Kindle for free. Or, if you want to begin reading a cookbook immediately on an older Kindle, there are two further options. You can simply note the title and cover design of the linked cookbook in the Kindle store, and then search for the title with your Kindle. If there are multiple copies, pick the one with the cover that matches, confirm that it is free, and then download it to your Kindle.

Finally, if you click the "more info" in this eBook, the first thing that appears is the unique Amazon ID for the cookbook, the ASIN. If you make a note of the ASIN, you can go directly to the Kindle store, type that in the search box, and you will be brought directly to the title.

I hope you enjoy this list as much as I enjoyed pulling it all together and doing the programming for the links.
