Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have Enjoy Life's first cookbook, Cookies for Everyone, and it's great. The recipes are easy to follow, don't require any odd ingredients, and most taste yummy. The first cookbook is also more aware of people with corn allergies and actually gives more suggestions to avoid corn products. (Unfortunately, neither book seems to be aware that xanthum gum is an ingredient grown on corn and needs to be avoided by those with corn allergies. An easy fix though. Guar gum is an equal substitute.) I eagerly opened this cookbook to make cupcakes for a birthday, expecting this cookbook to be similar to the first. I closed it, unable to cook from it. So, what's wrong with the second Enjoy Life's cookbook, Cupcakes and Sweet Treats for Everyone!? Almost every recipe in the cookbook uses oatmeal flour. I am surprised that a cookbook that caters to food allergies includes so much oatmeal when those with gluten allergies usually avoid it. I know that my grocery stores don't sell gluten free oatmeal, let alone gluten free oatmeal flour. I feel that I have wasted my money on this cookbook. I have a little guy that can't have oatmeal. Yes, there are a few recipes in the first cookbook that use oatmeal, but not like the 99% of the recipes in the second book. Now I have to find a substitute for oatmeal flour or get rid of this cookbook.
