As someone who recently went gluten-free, I was thrilled to discover this bread machine cookbook. The variety of recipes initially got me excited - from sandwich loaves to artisan-style breads, it promised to solve my gluten-free bread cravings.

I tried the basic white bread recipe first. The instructions were clear and beginner-friendly, which I appreciated. My kitchen smelled amazing as the machine worked its magic! The final result? A decent loaf with good texture - something that's hard to achieve with gluten-free baking.

However, I do agree with other reviewers about the ingredient complexity. Many recipes call for 4-5 different specialty flours (rice, tapioca, sorghum - you name it). While they create authentic textures, stocking all these can be expensive and impractical for casual bakers.

The pumpkin seed bread became my favorite - simple ingredients yet fantastic flavor. But some recipes felt unnecessarily complicated. Why use five flours when three could work? Still, having reliable gluten-free recipes that actually work in a bread machine makes this book worth it for me.

Bottom line: Great for serious gluten-free bakers willing to invest in ingredients. Casual users might find only a few practical recipes like I did.
