Cookbook author and James Beard Lifetime Achievement Award winner Barbara Kafka always joked that she was intolerant of "bad food." So when her allergies to gluten and lactose cropped up five years ago, she wouldn't settle for so-so meals. Her new cookbook, The Intolerant Gourmet: Glorious Food Without Gluten & Lactose, is loaded with 300 recipes for every meal and occasion with chapters on breakfast, pastas, soups, sauces and more.

While many gluten-free cookbooks focus on baking, The Intolerant Gourmet is an all-purpose guide. It has a definitive list of safe-to-eat starches and tricks on getting food crisp without breading, mimicking the creaminess of dairy and how to make luxurious sauces without flour or butter.
