I am quite excited about the Babycakes cookbook. If you’re a healthy eater, or have food intolerances – these recipes are a life saver. I just got the book, went to the natural food store, and got everything i needed to make the frosting with one substitution (couldn’t find coconut flour, so i used arrowroot). if you’re committed to this style of baking, you probably have at least half the ingredients on hand and can get the rest at whole foods or a natural food store. i also like Elana Amsterdam’s book: the Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook and blog (ALL are GF recipes).

I also have tried several of the recipes in the Babycakes cookbook and have had great success with the ones I tried so far. I haven’t had a hard time finding ingredients (Whole Foods has most) and if you read her introduction where she explains about measuring, prepping certain ingredients, etc, all should go fine! Good luck!

Great post, and thanks all for the addt’l suggestions. I’m banned from buying more cookbooks until I use the ones I already have, but they’ve been bookmarked for future reference ;-D

That Nigel Slater book looks really good! I’ll definitely be checking it out.

Also, I 2nd the Bittman vegetarian book. It’s awesome.
