WIN-It-Wednesday: “The Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Cakes & Cookies” Cookbook by Laurie Sadowski
If you’re looking for some awesome recipes for gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and soy-free cakes & cookies you have to check out Laurie Sadowski’s newest cookbook “The Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Cakes & Cookies”.
Laurie Sadowski, a food enthusiast with celiac disease (who is also a vegan) wrote this cookbook to share with us her sweet side of baking. Her newest cookbook is a collection of to-die-for cakes, cookies, bars and squares – all of which are perfect for those with celiac disease / a gluten-free lifestyle, dairy allergies, egg allergies, and also a vegan-life style, ADHD and autism.
Just looking at these recipes make me want to dig out my baking pans and rolling pin. They range from the decadent (Triple-Chocolate Layer Cake or Two-Bite Chocolate-Covered Cherry Cupcakes, anyone?), to the traditional (comfort foods like New Old-Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake or Autumn Apple Cake with Cider Sauce), to the dinner-party daring desserts (Molten Lava Mini Cakes with Raspberry Sauce or Hazelnut Biscotti, to name just a couple).
I really like this cookbook because there are also a lot of tips and tricks to make gluten-free baking a success… something we all can use every so often. =)
This “The Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Cakes & Cookies” Cookbook by Laurie Sadowski is the perfect answer to those that mistakenly believe that they can no longer enjoy desserts after being diagnosed with celiac disease and other food allergies.
All of the delicious recipes and tons of useful info regarding gluten-free and allergen-free baking (like dairy free substitutions for milk and butter; nutritional content and calorie comparison of gluten-free flours; and tips and techniques baking gluten, egg and dairy free) are the reasons I am so excited that “The Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Cakes & Cookies” Cookbook is the sponsor of BeFreeForMe’s WIN-It-Wednesday contest for the next two weeks.
One (1) winner will be randomly selected to win a copy of the cookbook from the entries received before Tuesday, March 12, 2012 at 11:59 PM EST, and one (1) more winner will be randomly selected to win from the entries received between Wednesday, March 13 and Tuesday, March 19, 2012 at 11:59PM.

Having many medical diet challanges I love experimenting with different cookie and cake recipes. Diabetes, diverticulitis and numerous food allergies and IBS, are just a few of my daily medical ailments that I deal with. I’d really love thi Allergy-Free cook book would be great for me to share baking with my 13yr old grandaughter.

I’m a simple girl who still enjoys her chocolate chip cookies. My favorite cake is what my momma called a what cake which was a spice cake with a german chocolate frosting.
March 6th, 2013 at 8:37 am
Oh wow! I love finding new recipe books. It is hard to find new dishes my 8 year old will eat. Add on top of that Celiac disease. Can not wait to see inside this one 🙂

My favorite cookies growing up are Pennsylvania Dutch sugar cookies. Growing up I called them grandma cookies because they reminded me of my grandmother. They are my favorite cookies and since going gluten free a year ago, I have not had them! 🙁
March 6th, 2013 at 9:14 am
My favorite cake has always been chocolate cake with fudge frosting, my favorite cookie is Toll House Chocolate Chip. I would love to win the cookbook! Thanks! Linda
March 6th, 2013 at 9:20 am
I have two favorite cakes- German chocolate and carrot cake- MMM MMMM.
March 6th, 2013 at 9:42 am
I always loved those windmill-shaped cookies w/ almond slivers in them, the peanut shaped PB sandwich cookies — and Christmas “Jingles”…..of course I’ve never seen GF versions of any of these, but I’m hopeful! 🙂
March 6th, 2013 at 10:35 am
My favorite is warm chocolate cake right out of the oven with vanilla icing just melting off it! Yum!
March 6th, 2013 at 11:23 am
My favorite cookie has to be the butterscotch toffee cookie. Right out of the oven it is gooey and wonderful. It brings back wonderful childhood memories.
March 6th, 2013 at 11:45 am
My all time favorite cookie is definitely the sugar cookie! 🙂 I have a recipe that I’ve adapted to gf that has been in my family forever…tastes just like I remember!

I love Devils Food Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Makes my mouth water, just thinking of it.
March 6th, 2013 at 1:22 pm
I think this would be just a great book to have. Before I got sick I use to collect cookbooks and use to do so much cooking and baking. Just three things I loved to do. Since getting sick it seems as though trying to cook gluten free is so much harder and things just dont turn out. Looking at the recipes the first one I would try would have to be the Sweet Dinner Rolls or the Banana-Nut Monkey Bread. I can almost taste it now a good cup of coffee and the Banana-Nut Monkey Bread, oh ya thats a great morning..
March 6th, 2013 at 3:28 pm
My favorite cookie has been the flourless peanut butter cookie. These are easy made and delicious with chocolate chips added. If I were to win this cookbook it would be great tool for the year to come…going to be a teacher and the number of students with intollerances and allergies is growing.
March 6th, 2013 at 5:37 pm
i love a good spice cake or a cookie with cinnamon and / or nuts in it! Love almost any kind of nuts except Brazil nuts. I am fairly new gluten free cooking and am searching for recipes so when my daughter found this site was very happy.
March 6th, 2013 at 7:18 pm

Favorite cake or cookie…. I’m thinking the one that is already made and ready to enjoy with a cuppa and a friend. Probably chocolate chip walnut cookie…but then there are brownies…and then there is chocolate sauerkraut cake with raspberry filling and chocolate ganache. Or snickerdoodles… Yeah, it’s whatever is there ready to go when a friend drops by for tea.
March 7th, 2013 at 7:57 pm

My favorite cookie is a snicker doodle. I am thankful for websites like this. My daughter just became allergic to what at 12 yrs. old & she is having a hard time with it. We are trying to learn how to make what free items that actually taste good. Thanks & keep up the good work.

Y’all are making me hungry! I love desserts, no joke, but finding easy gluten free recipes that I can get all the ingredients for easily, even better!
March 14th, 2013 at 12:56 pm
I miss molasses cookies and German Chocolate Cake. I live to bake and haven’t done hardly any since I had to be gluten free. I LOVE cookbooks. My husband thinks I have too many. Can you really have too many? Ha! But seriously. I am desperate for some great Gluten Free baked goodies recipes!

Oh, yes, Alana, you said my two favorites. Or is it just the icing of the German Chocolate that makes me swoon! ahhhh….. As for a cookie, I love the old Italian Wedding Cookie. Not too sweet, perfect with tea or coffee.
Love the fact that this book goes beyond just gluten free. So many good tips to learn about substituting other allergen ingredients in my baking. Any tips to find relief and keep a body happy are worth knowing! What a great book to have not only for some good recipes, but for some great reference material. I would love to have a copy!
March 18th, 2013 at 3:07 pm
Key Lime Pie is where I’m at these days.
