Austrian Cookbooks

Title: Wheat-Free Dairy-Free Baking
Author: Mary Mauksch
Publisher: Macmillan Publishing Company, Incorporated
Date Published: September 1997
Format: Trade Cloth

Traditional Viennese pastries have always been flourless-- the secret to their silky textures and rich tastes is ground nuts. This collection of recipes guarantee that every eater -- whether allergic to gluten and/or dairy products or not--will delight in cakes, tarts, puddings, souffles, mousses, and many other "fabulous and flourless" treats. This cookbook has 20 line drawings and 212 pages.

Nuts add a lot to baked goods: nutrition, ease of preparation, and extended shelf life. The few dairy products found in traditional pastries are easily substituted, making Fabulous and Flourless the ideal way for people with gluten and/or dairy allergies to dig into dessert with pleasure again.

Here are recipes that every eater allergic or not will delight in: cakes and tarts grouped according to nut type; to yolkless cakes for cholesterol watchers; to puddings, souffles, and mousses; as well as cookies and other small treats.

Author Mauksch also discusses the origins of her recipes, as well as equipment and ingredients to keep on hand, and other handy tips.
