Gluten-Free Vegan Comfort Food presents a collection of easy-to-make recipes for satisfying savory and sweet meals and desserts. In her sequel to Gluten-Free Vegan, author Susan O’Brien has created a well-organized, informative, cookbook filled with recipes to gratify those who have dietary restrictions or simply want to eat healthily.

O’Brien uses lists and simple explanations to highlight aspects of a gluten-free and vegan diet: which foods to avoid, and how to stock a pantry. O’Brien also breaks down the foods, such as chia seeds and tempeh, that haven’t been included in her previous books, and goes into more detail about the differences in flours, oils, egg replacers, milks, vegan cheeses and sweeteners. The author also provides information on Genetically Modified foods and promotes the use of organic foods and support of local farmers markets. This clear introduction equips the reader with the information to stock the kitchen with the various products and embark upon the recipes, which are divided into nine sections each featuring between twelve to twenty recipes.
