Becky Excell, a renowned UK food blogger and author, has once again captivated her audience with her latest cookbook, 'Feel Good Gluten Free'. This cookbook is a testament to her mission to make gluten-free cooking accessible and delicious, especially for those with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance. What sets this book apart is its focus on simplicity and flavor, offering over 100 recipes that are not only gluten-free but also packed with whole foods and minimal processed ingredients. Personally, I think this is a game-changer for those who have been struggling to find satisfying gluten-free options that don't compromise on taste. What makes this particularly fascinating is how Excell manages to create dishes that are both healthy and indulgent, catering to a wide range of dietary needs and preferences. From creamy pasta to fluffy pancakes and savory stir-fries, the book has something for everyone. One of the standout recipes is the Creamy Lemon Chicken Spaghetti. This dish is a perfect example of how Excell's recipes are both achievable and delicious. The chicken sizzles, the spaghetti goes straight into the pot, and everything simmers in lemony stock, resulting in a silky smooth sauce without the need for tons of cream. A spoonful of light cream cheese, peas, and a handful of spinach finish it off, making it creamy, fresh, and incredibly easy to make. It's the kind of dinner you'll crave on repeat, and it's done in just 30 minutes. What many people don't realize is that this recipe is not only gluten-free but also packed with flavor and nutrition. The use of gluten-free brown rice spaghetti ensures that the dish is both gluten-free and satisfying, while the addition of lemon zest and dried oregano adds a zesty, bold flavor that is sure to impress. Another standout recipe is the Caramelised Pork and Leek Spring Roll Bowl. This dish is a deconstructed spring roll, with sticky-sweet, umami pork over soft rice vermicelli, a colorful tangle of carrot, cabbage, capsicum, and crunchy bean sprouts. It's a big flavor guaranteed and straight into bowls in next to no time. The use of garlic-infused olive oil, leek, ginger, and fish sauce creates a harmonious blend of flavors that is both savory and sweet. If you take a step back and think about it, this recipe is a great example of how gluten-free cooking can be both healthy and indulgent. The addition of fresh lime at the end makes everything pop, and it's a dish that you can justify eating for lunch. What this really suggests is that gluten-free cooking is not only possible but also incredibly delicious. In my opinion, 'Feel Good Gluten Free' is a must-have for anyone looking to explore the world of gluten-free cooking. Becky Excell has once again proven that gluten-free recipes can be both simple and satisfying, and her passion for making gluten-free cooking accessible to everyone is truly inspiring. From the creamy pasta to the fluffy pancakes and savory stir-fries, this cookbook has something for everyone, and it's a great resource for anyone looking to explore the world of gluten-free cooking.
