When professional cook Aran Goyoaga learned that both she and her son were gluten intolerant, she made the switch to gluten-free cooking and baking easily--the Basque cooking of her childhood relies on fresh ingredients cooked simply. Small Plates & Sweet Treats is a record of her family's journey to gluten-free eating, with small plate and dessert recipes organized seasonally, each one accompanied by full-colored photos and the author's remembrances.
Her recipes are more than just gluten-free conversions of old favorites--they are delicious in their own right. Whether it is a savory breakfast of Baked Eggs with Olive Oil-Poached Tomatoes, Coppa and Brie meant for foggy autumn mornings or an adaption of a macaron recipe, this cookbook is sure to inspire with it's attractive styling and tasty, often Spanish-inspired ingredients. It's a cookbook for everyone who loves vibrant and hardy food that just happens to be gluten-free. --Kristin McConnell, publishing assistant, Shelf Awareness
