• Pros: Tries to help people with allergies
• Cons: Tries to cover too many allergies in one recipe Inferior flour blends.

I have been diagnosed with Celiac Sprue for over 20 years and have found many good recipes and information resources that make cooking and baking excellent. I find the recipes in Living Without magazine inferior as they try to include several allergies in one recipe; the gluten free all-purpose flour blend does not produce nearly as light a product as what I use. I have followed Betty Hagman's recipes in her cookbooks for years as well as other resources from the National Celiac Sprue Foundation and found they are superior to what Living Without magazine is printing. Also, Bob's Red Mills makes excellent flour blends and mixes. I feel Living Without magazine is trying to reinvent the wheel for already excellent products and coming up with inferior products that are heavy in the baked goods. I realize the magazine is trying to cover a lot of bases but I feel it would be better to have a magazine that covered one allergy at a time. I do not feel it is a good magazine for people with just Celiac Sprue. Perhaps it would be helpful if you looked at resources like Betty Hagman's cookbooks and Bob's Red Mill to get better blends of flours.
