 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Aug 27, 2011
By Sheila Connelly
OMG. This cookbook is so well done. Thank you so much Laura Russell! I haven't had a dumpling in 18 months since going gluten free. We are now devouring the Gingery Pork Pot Stickers and the Sticky Rice Dumplings with Chicken and Mushrooms.I particularly liked the section "Identifying Sources of Gluten in Common Asian Ingredients." I now know to be careful of several I had no idea might contain gluten. And now, since this cookbook includes several sauce recipes with a great variety of flavors, I can make my own for home use or to take along to my favorite asian joints. Highly recommend. Fantastic.

excellent book - fills a real need Sep 08, 2011
By Robert Pater
This is a beautifully illustrated and very well-written book that fills a pressing need - how to make delicious gluten-free asian dishes (that are typically hands off for those who don't eat gluten). The author has a nice voice, the pictures are very inviting and the recipes are creative and sound great. Only tried a few so far - and with great success. My impression is the author is scrupulous about testing and retesting each recipe - reassuring quality control. Also that the author - who is a noted writer and advocate in the "gluten-free arena" - is clearly dedicated to her mission.
Looking forward to working my way through many more of the recipes.
On another note, my friend who is a Nutritional Therapist and very particular about recipe books - especially those that focus on gluten-free food - calls this "a great book"

A must for every gluten-free cookbook library Sep 08, 2011
By V. J. Nuttle

If you love Asian food and have to be gluten-free, you want to buy this cookbook. Some recipes are complex but others are easy enough to do on a weeknight (more involved recipes like the dough for the pot stickers can be started ahead). Scared of rice paper? Don't be, after you read thru these recipes. Miss lovely Asian dip-able finger food? There are recipes for that. Always wanted to try some Asian food but you can't now that you're gluten-free? You'll be covered. And the ingredient lists and instructions are very well done and easy to follow (and also adapt).

Exactly what I was looking for Nov 11, 2011
By J. Potts

I saw this book months before it was released and immediately put it on my wish list. I have to say, it's been great to have a book that not only has great gluten free recipes for things like pot stickers but also provides the recipes for Asian sauces. That way I can make them myself so they are not only gluten but also soy free (I'm allergic to soy, too). The first thing I tried was, naturally, the pot stickers. I had been craving them ever since I found out I couldn't eat gluten. While my attempts didn't result in nearly as many pot stickers as the recipe says, they were great tasting none the less. I also made the Soy Vinegar Dipping Sauce but substituted chopped green onion for the optional jalapeño/red pepper flakes. It was fantastic! The person who said this was a waste of money if you've been gluten free for a while is wrong, IMO. Yes, the book relies on a lot of naturally gluten free products but for me, the pot stickers alone were worth the price of the book, and that is one recipe that doesn't rely on pre-made gluten free products you pick up from an Asian market.

The Gluten-Free Asian Kitchen WOKS my World Aug 24, 2011
By sgtothec
Uh, wow! This cookbook is amazing. Each of the recipes I have tried are easy and delicious. Gluten-free or not (I'm not) - you will LOVE the tasty recipes that Laura Russell has created in this inspirational cookbook. I've served these Asian dishes to my family and friends and have always received RAVE reviews. You won't be disappointed.
