The reviews are in on Mary Mauksch's FABULOUS AND FLOURLESS! Of 7 replies,
6 people loved it, and one thought it was okay. A coule said it was quite a
bit of work to master the different techniques. I've put the replies below,
since there aren't that many. It's only $13.97 at Amazon.com, and it's
going on my Christmas list!

I love this cookbook!!  I've only tried 2 or 3 recipes, but I've enjoyed
them very much, and lots of them really look yummy.

I consider any cookbook a hit when it has one good recipe I like. In this
case, it was a cookie recipe using ground almonds that really gives the
same effect as oatmeal cookies. I haven't gotten around to trying any
others, but I will as the holidays approach.

I have Fabulous & Flourless and it's a great dessert book for us celiacs.
The author uses different kind of nuts in place of flour for most of the
recipes.

I saw your question about the book on the Celiac list. I bought the book last
year and absolutely love it! I had to stop making the recipes for a time
because they are so good, I was eating too much of them! The cakes are
luscious and will impress everyone, GF or not. It is a definite buy!

I have had the book for about a year.  The desserts are great.  It requires a
bit of patience at first to be comfortable with the directions.  We have found
several new "favorites" since I began testing the recipes every couple of
weeks.

I have the book and have only made about two items from it.  The first one was
a long time ago and was quite a bit of work.   It turned out a cake that was
about 1/2 inch high, but it tasted good.  Most of the recipes require nuts and
nut flours.  The basis of most comes from egg whites being whipped to a
meringue and then folded into a batter. Give it a try.  You may do quite
well with it.  Let me know.

I use this cookbook rather frequently.  Although many recipes say serve
10-16 or 8-12, the reality is it's very easy for only 2 or 3 people to
finish one off.  One strange thing--she usually suggests dusting the pans
with spelt flour, which we know contains gluten.  I usually dust with sweet
rice flour or whatever is handy.  I don't think the recipes are all that
dairy free--there is an extensive use of eggs and butter. The recipes are
easy to follow, and everything I've made tastes great.
