The Gluten-Free Italian Vegetarian Kitchen by Donna Klein

The Gluten-Free Italian Vegetarian Kitchen: More Than 225 Meat-Free, Wheat-Free, and Gluten-Free Recipes for Delicious and Nutritious Italian Dishes by Donna Klein is a comprehensive cookbook designed for anyone who loves traditional Italian flavours while following a vegetarian, wheat-free or gluten-free diet.

Published by Perigee Books, an imprint of Penguin Group, in 2014, this first edition contains more than 225 recipes covering an impressively broad selection of Italian-inspired dishes. Donna Klein demonstrates that eliminating meat, wheat and gluten does not mean sacrificing the comforting flavours and variety associated with Italian home cooking.

Recipes range from appetizers, soups and salads to breads, pizzas, panini, gnocchi, risotto and polenta, as well as substantial main courses, brunch dishes and desserts. Gluten-Free Italian Vegetarian Kitchen is particularly versatile because recipes are identified according to additional dietary requirements, including dairy-free, egg-free, lacto-ovo vegetarian, dairy-and-egg-free, vegan and low-carbohydrate options.

Beyond the recipes themselves, Gluten-Free Italian Vegetarian Kitchen provides practical information and advice for following a gluten-free diet, together with a glossary explaining specialist gluten-free ingredients. Nutritional information accompanies the recipes, covering calories, protein, total and saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates and dietary fibre.

Condition – Very Good

Very good 2014 paperback. The covers show light general shelf wear, with a crease to the bottom right corner of the front cover. Minor handling and edge wear are also present. The binding remains sound and the book is otherwise well preserved internally.
