"The cookie and brownie sections alone are swoon worthy.--The Oregonian
[T]his labor of love means you and your hungry brood will never be without something to nosh (a much more expressive word than snack) . . . I also appreciate the chapter on how to get the most out of your store-bought GF cake or flour mix.-- "Delicious Living"
Traditional Jewish food is undeniably delicious, but many of its classic dishes are not accessible to people who avoid gluten. Fortunately, [Nosh on This] bridges the gap, offering more than 100 gluten-free recipes that are inspired by traditional Jewish fare. Once off-limit treats like black white cookies, rugelach, challah, and marble chiffon cake are no back on the menu. It is the perfect gift for any gluten-free friend.-- "TheKitchn"
In the ever-growing pile of gluten-free cookbooks, we found one recently that stands out. It's got good recipes, and it's a lot of fun. Nosh on This: Gluten-Free Baking From a Jewish-American Kitchen is one couple's take on getting all the treats without the wheat.-- "Los Angeles Times"
Expertise, enthusiasm, and stunning photographs distinguish this excellent gluten-free baking collection.-- "Library Journal"
The recipes [in Nosh on This] are innovative and unique, from apple upside-down cake with honey pomegranate syrup to sweet potato pumpkin butter pie . . . The color photos, many of them full page, are beautifully styled and photographed.-- "The Jerusalem Post"
[T]he book's greatest asset is that it makes the gluten-free baker feel like anything is possible.-- "Jewish Book Council"
[Nosh on This] has plenty of typically Jewish treats--honey cake, babka, hamantaschen, rugelach, challah, macaroons, mandelbrot--but also lots of familiar, everyday sweets and pastries that anyone can enjoy, from pies, fruit tarts, layer cakes, and cupcakes to brownies, lemon bars, eclairs, even lots of doughnuts. Those parents whose kids can't eat everyday packaged items should especially enjoy the recipes for homemade cookies inspired by Oreos, Mallomars, Stella D'oro Swiss Fudge Cookies, Fig Newtons, and more. And the tone is lively, fun, and just irreverent enough to make even infrequent bakers feel at home in the kitchen.-- "Bay Area Bites (KQED)"
Lisa and Tim's dream for Nosh on This is that a family that includes both gluten-free and gluten-eating members could eat the same desserts made with the recipes from their cookbook; there wouldn't be a need to make the traditional baked goods in addition to theirs, because the gluten-free versions taste just as good.-- "Tablet"
[An] informative manual for making scrumptious and gluten-free Jewish baked goods. With color pictures of every dish and well-defined instructions, this book is a welcome addition to the gluten free baking world.-- "Publishers Weekly"

What could be more comforting than a book of noshable treats the whole family--gluten-free or not!--can enjoy? Nosh on This provides delicious gluten-free recipes to tantalize everyone.--Kyra Bussanich, Cupcake Wars-winning founder of Kyra's Bake Shop and author of Sweet Cravings
Nosh on This is a wonderful, carefully crafted, and must-have cookbook not only for gluten-free Jewish-American bakers, but for all gluten-free bakers. It is a unique resource that brings gluten-free Jewish baked specialties into the realm of delic--Jeanne Sauvage, author of Gluten-Free Baking for the Holidays
Had Lisa Stander-Horel simply taken traditional Jewish holiday recipes and made them gluten-free, it would have been enough. Instead, she added incredible flavor and flair to gluten-free baking, ensuring whatever you make will be devoured. The recipe photos will convince you gluten-free also means gorgeous presentation. Nosh on This is a total reinvention of bubbe-style goodies that everyone could enjoy. Maybe it should be subtitled: you don't have to be gluten intolerant to enjoy this book because the baking is simply uncompromised, irresistible goodness.
