Book: Healthy Gourmets - Luca Montersino

Anyone suffering from food intolerances will no longer have to give up the pleasures of the palate. Those who must eliminate gluten, milk, eggs, sugar, or yeast from their diet will be able to prepare desserts suitable for every occasion, allowing them to enjoy tarts, biscuits, cakes, creams, and pastries without compromising their culinary skills. Luca Montersino and Roberto Sammartini have collected and photographed delicious recipes suitable for all palates and needs, combining flavor and health. Ingredients depleted by industrial refining processes are replaced with genuine, healthy, and delicious foods : spelt, brown rice, kamut, grape sugar, extra virgin olive oil, fructose, apple sugar, and malt . The book opens with a chapter dedicated to raw materials and a basic school that teaches how to make the fundamental preparations of Montersino's pastry—from shortcrust pastry to meringue, from puff pastry to cream puff pastry—and reveals the secrets of the Master .
