If you have special dietary needs, you know how hard it can be to navigate the world of food. Is this casserole gluten-free? Does this pie contain processed sugar? The only way many of those eaters can manage their diets is to cook a handful of reliable recipes over and over and over again. But the task of cooking - and eating - quickly becomes an uninspired endeavor. It is to those people that Chef Kate Wagner has geared Recipes From an Unconventional Chef. Wagner s book is filled with easy recipes that can be adapted seamlessly for a range of diets. A cheese pepper dish, for instance, can be made with gluten-free bread crumbs or vegan cheese, while the addition of Italian sausage can satisfy meat eaters. The chef s tasty recipes ensure that a home cook can successfully whip up delicious, engaging dishes that will make it a pleasure for them to stay on their diets.
