The Everything Gluten-Free Slow Cooker Cookbook Giveaway!

99

GLGEVSCI’ve got a special treat for you, gluten-free peeps, as we move into these bleak and dreary depth-of-winter-months.

If you haven’t already heard, Carrie Forbes,  Ginger Lemon Girl  has a gangbuster new cookbook, The Everything Gluten-Free Slow Cooker Cookbook. Guess what I didn’t know before I read this book? You really can cook everything in a slow cooker. She’s not kidding.  From Breakfast to Casseroles to Breads and Desserts (and Lattes!).  While I’ve been using my slow cooker (occasionally) for years for soups and stews, I have never delved into baking in a slow cooker. Carrie’s book has got me totally jazzed to bust out my slow cooker and try a whole new genre of cooking. And with 300 recipes to choose from, I won’t be running out of options any time soon!

While it might seem that cooking in a slow cooker is the opposite of what I’m focused on right now, (30-minute meals), the more I thought about it, the more in sync I realized Carrie and I are.  Using a slow cooker actually serves the same purpose as a 30-minute meal. Whether you’ve got dinner in the slow cooker for 2-8 hours, or you’re whipping up a 30-minute meal, the goal is the same: LESS TIME SPENT OVER THE STOVE!

Random side note: One of the cutest things about this book is that last I checked, it was the #1 bestseller in the category of Potatoes on Amazon. I didn’t know there was category for Potatoes, but I like it!!!   That actually tells you a little bit about this book, which is that it’s filled with comforting foods, because what’s more comforting than a potato?

This is not to say this book is just chock-full of potatoes. As mentioned above, it’s a book that teaches you how to cook everything in a slow cooker.  I am very impressed by the variety of recipes. While Carrie does give us many traditional favorites, like Chicken Cacciatore (p.188) and Split Pea Soup (p.125), this book is not your typical run of the mill roster.  Eastern North Carolina Cheesy Grits Casserole (p.52)? I’m on it. Welsh Rarebit (p.84)? Yup. Lone Star State Chili (p139)? I’m going to make that right now!

In addition to the Soups, Stews and Chilis chapter (my favorite types of food), I am most excited about the Slow Cooker 101 chapter, the Five Ingredients or Fewer chapter, and the Kid-Friendly Meals chapter.  Oh, yeah, and also the Gluten-Free Breads and Desserts chapter. Oh, dang it, I’m excited about it all! Bravo, Carrie for putting together such a comprehensive, fun, and instructive gluten-free cookbook. On top of the stellar recipe collection, The Everything Gluten-Free Slow Cooker Cookbook also has excellent instructional chapters on Slow Cooker Basics, and Why Gluten-Free. 

PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILE GLUTEN-FREE, THIS BOOK IS NOT TOP 8 ALLERGEN-FREE. But many recipes naturally are, or if not, are adaptable.  Given the incredible breadth of delicious recipes, I think I can safely say that there’s something in this cookbook for just about everyone.

    Would love to have more GF options for the crockpot!

  11. Nicole says:

    I have a slow cookier that has been collecting dust on my countertop since I bought it. I would love to have some recipe ideas courtesy of this book!

  12. athena lyons says:

    I am welcoming child number 4 into a GFCF house! This added joy also adds tremendous stress on the budget and time. My babies are all colicky the first 3 months so a slow cooker book would be a great addition/need to our busy food sensitive home! I already like Cybele on Facebook and have 2 of her awesome books.

  13. Nancy says:

    My son has egg, dairy, wheat, soy and peanut allergies. Would love this book!

  14. Johnna says:

    I love cooking in the slow cooker, especially during the cold months. I would enjoy having an entire cookbok of gluten-free recipes just for the slow cooker!

  16. Catherine Murdock says:

    hi!
    I would love to win this cookbook. I tried and tried to win your new one. Maybe I’ll have better luck this time 😉 Anyway, I have a hard time finding recipes for a slow cooker that will work for our family. In total we have 8 allergies we avoid between two children. I am new to the gluten free diet and need all the help I can get!
    Thank you for the opportunity to win this cookbook!
    -Catherine 🙂

  17. Catherine Murdock says:

    Hi – I follow you and Ginger Lemon Girl on facebook 🙂

  18. I would love this book! I use my crockpot all the time and have been gluten-free for less than a year. I’m always looking for new ideas. I was to sample two recipes from the book, and they were delicious. My kids loved the Swedish Meatballs. I already follow Ginger Lemon Girl, and just started following you. Thank for the great give-away.

  19. Catherine Murdock says:

    I have a question for you also. My youngest son is going to be two next month and I am looking for a cake recipe that will work for us. I have had a hard time finding a recipe that follows our restrictions. We avoid milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat (gluten), oatmeal, banana and soy. Soy is our least allergen. Do you have any suggestions? I have resigned to buying the Betty Crocker Gluten Free cake mix and using applesauce instead of eggs. But I’d rather make one from scratch if possible.
    Thank you – Catherine 🙂

  21. Sarah Hodgson says:

    I would love this book because I have been avoiding 6 food allergens for 3 years, my mom was diagnosed with Celiac disease over 10 years ago and my husband just found out yesterday that he is allergic to wheat as well. We could use a little variety in our kitchen and some comfort foods to help my husband adjust to this lifestyle.
    Thank you for providing this opportunity!! -Sarah

  22. Cheryl Gray says:

    I would love to have this book because I have three kids (which is time consuming in itself) and I am always looking for easy dinner recipes that we can all have together. All of us are GF and we also avoid other things too. Everyone has something different they are allergic to. I really need more crock pot recipes that everyone will actually eat! Thanks for offering this great give-away!

  23. Cheryl Gray says:

    I have already liked you on Facebook. Thanks!

  24. Cheryl Gray says:

    I have already liked Ginger Lemon Girl on Facebook. Thanks!

  25. Gio says:

    I’m the proud mother of a SPECTACULAR autistic child. I’m always looking for options so he can have the variety he needs so he doesn’t feel different from the other kids. Also, I’m starting to study to become a Health coach and this book will give me more options on the GF arena!!!!! 🙂

    Oh! I have like you both on Facebook and I have shared the post too 🙂

  26. Ellynne says:

    I would love to win this cookbook because there are three of us (out of four) in the family that cannot have gluten (as well as dairy and eggs). My friend turned me onto a yummy slow cooker recipe last summer which I now make every other week for Shabbat and am happy to share with you (Coca Cola Brisket). The other recipes I have tried have not been good AT ALL and it’s frustrating trying to cook meals 3-5x a week when the kids don’t get home from their activities until 7 pm each night. I’ve been following you for a year, have purchased all your cookbooks and have turned several friends on to your website and dessert recipes, especially the crumb cake and your chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting. I could use all the help I can get! 🙂

  27. I’d love your cookbook, I follow Ginger Lemon Girl on facebook and I tweeted this post.

  28. Ellynne says:

    In addition to my previous post — I’ve been following you on Facebook since my son found your crumb cake recipe a year ago, and pinned you ages ago on my Pinterest Gluten-, Dairy- and Egg-Free Board. In fact, I just checked, and your photo is the first one on the Board! And, because I’m always looking for new recipes, I just LIKED Ginger Lemon Girl on FB too and already pulled off two of her GF/V recipes. Thanks for the referral!

  29. Jessica Kennedy says:

    I would love this book because I live on my own, work full time, as I am doing full time school online, so time is precious and having the ability to put something in the crockpot before I leave for work so a meal is ready when I get home would bless me abundantly.

  30. Jessica Kennedy says:

    I follow Cybele on face book!

  31. Winston says:

    I really need to cut back on gluten in my diet. This would be a help.

  32. Winston says:

    My 19 year old son with Asperger’s who is gluten sensitive is now living independently. He now cooks for himself! I was planning on buying him a slow cooker but have hesitated until NOW!!

I already follow you on facebook and twitter. In fact, I found this post on twitter.

    I was just on Pinterest last night looking for more gluten free recipes. As I was scrolling through all of the postings of my friends and family I continue to see pin after pin after pin of “100 slow cooker recipes!” “Fill your freezer with slow cooker recipes!”. I thought, it sure would be nice if someone made a list of gluten free slow cooker recipes. And now .. .BAM! Ask and ya shall receive …. I hope I receive this cookbook! That would be great!

  71. Maria says:

    Hi! We found out not too long ago that our daughter has several food allergies (and so I was excited to find your website and blog), so I am revamping my kitchen and trying to find new ways to cook that can more easily rid our cuisine of the forbidden foods. This cookbook would be so helpful!

  86. Erin S. says:

  89. Bethany S. says:

    I would love to win this because I just recently went gluten-free. I am very good at cooking/baking to avoid my boys’ allergens (7 of the top 8, plus more), but wheat is not one of them. I now how to alter recipes to be allergy-friendly, but I am still learning how to do so without gluten.

  92. Rachel R. says:

    The “easy” chapter is the grammatically-correct Five Ingredients or FEWER? I am all over that! I’m GF, myself, and all of my don’t-take-2-hours options seem to be off the table now.

  96. Karen says:

    I’m gluten free and have a slow cooker I’ve never used so I’d love to win this!

  97. Vicky A says:

    I really would love to have this cookbook. You are giving it away on my husband’s birthday and to be able to really cook for him again would be a blessing. I am gluten intolerant and they tell me that his arthritis is effected by gluten. I am trying to get a handle on this before it gets too bad and I don’t have a cookbook that uses the crock-pot. I miss the easy meals.

  98. Normally I don’t read article on blogs, but I would like to say that this write-up very forced me to try and do it! Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thanks, quite great post.
