praise for
Naturally Sweet and Gluten-Free
“Naturally Sweet is not only a visual delight, its recipes are amazing,
too! I’ve come to rely on the fl uff y pancakes and the oat muffi ns as sta-
ples, and plan to work my way through every healthy indulgence one
goodie at a time.” —Alisa Marie Fleming, author of Go Dairy Free
“In this gorgeous book, Ricki Heller shows people with dietary con-
cerns how they, too, can enjoy decadent desserts. It is solid proof that
a seemingly restrictive style of eating can, in fact, be an absolute joy!”
—Allyson Kramer, author of Sweet Eats for All and
Great Gluten-Free Vegan Eats
“Talk about tempting! Chocolate Pecan Pie and Butterscotch–Choc-
olate Chip Cookies? Yes please! . . . This book needs to be on your
shelf!” —Kathy Patalsky, author of 365 Vegan Smoothies
“Once in a while a cookbook comes along that is a game-changer.
Opening its pages may introduce a new dietary approach or cuisine
that forever shifts our food choices. Or, perhaps opening that book
enables us to reintroduce foods we used to love, but we thought we
could never delight in again because of dietary needs. Ricki Heller’s
newly released Naturally Sweet & Gluten-Free is exactly this kind of

game-changing book. If you love to make sweets but want to bake
cleaner, with whole-grains, no sugar, and also avoiding allergens like
gluten and corn, this book will open a whole new world of baking for
you. If you are already eating a plant-based/vegan/gluten-free/low-g ly-
cemic diet, you will think you are dreaming when you open this book!
Ricki is making your dessert dreams come true! Go ahead and do
your happy dance because you can have your gluten-free, vegan, and
sugar-free cake . . . and eat it, too!”
—Dreena Burton, author of Let Them Eat Vegan!
