Okay, so I finally got my hands on this gluten-free bread machine cookbook and here's the real tea...

First off, I was genuinely excited to find a dedicated gluten-free recipe collection. As someone with celiac, it's rare to find specialized resources like this. The variety is impressive - we're talking 13 different recipes which is more than most books offer.

BUT (and this is a big but) only one recipe actually worked for my lifestyle. The others? Way too many obscure flours and additives that would cost me a fortune to stock up on. Like, do I really need five different specialty flours just for one loaf?

The instructions are clear though - gotta give them that. Even my bread-machine-challenged partner could follow along. Just wish they kept things simpler. Gluten-free baking doesn't have to be this complicated!

Final verdict? Interesting concept, decent execution, but needs more practical everyday recipes. Would I recommend? Maybe... with some reservations.
