The Elements of Baking: Making any recipe gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free or vegan THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

WINNER OF THE IACP AWARD IN HEALTH & WELLNESS

FINALIST FOR THE 2025 JAMES BEARD FOUNDATION BOOK AWARD – BAKING AND DESSERTS

‘As soon as I read The Elements of Baking, I knew it would have a permanent spot on my kitchen bookshelf.’ Dorie Greenspan, New York Times bestselling author of Baking with Dorie

An enthusiastically nerdy guide to making any recipe gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, vegan or even gluten-free vegan, with over 140 scientifically-grounded, mouthwatering recipes.

Armed with a PhD in Inorganic Chemistry, Katarina Cermelj lays out the science behind baking and the ingredients that make it work, so you can easily adapt your baking to your diet and lifestyle, and still make sure it tastes spectacular. With an abundance of mouth-watering recipes together with quantitative modification rules that you can use to convert any recipe into whatever version you fancy, The Elements of Baking will transform the way you think about ingredients. It will be a constant companion in the kitchen and the book you refer to every time you want to bake.

Just like the recipes of her popular baking blog The Loopy Whisk, the recipes Katarina shares in her latest book are always approachable, reliable and incredibly delicious, ranging from savoury dishes like Gluten-free Cheesy Garlic Pull-apart Bread and Vegan Veggie & Hummus Galette to sweet delicacies like Dairy-free Apple Pie Cupcakes and Egg-free Lemon Swirl Cheesecake Bars. And the gluten-free vegan chapter will delight anyone who has to avoid gluten, eggs and dairy, with recipes such as Gluten-free Vegan Cinnamon Rolls and Guten-free Vegan Lemon Meringue Cake.

With a completely novel approach to baking and modifying recipes, The Elements of Baking will demystify allergy-friendly baking once and for all.

    Worth every penny!! Best Allergen Baking book
    This is the most amazing cookbook for those with allergy issues. Not only are the recipes fantastic and are easy to follow but they are scientifically based. She explains the why and how to adjust the recipes and then provides an esy to folloe chart. I love that she uses 3 main flours (tapioca, sorghum and millet). The GF bread is the best I have ever made, the pie crusts are incredible and the sugar cookies are better than gluten ones!! This book is worth the cover price never mind the sale price!

    Phenomenal book. Beautiful photography. Food science.
    I’d give 10 stars. I hadn’t yet come across a book like this, but maybe they are out there? I have some dumb food allergies/ sensitivities/ intolerances, and they just keep getting dumber, which makes it really difficult when navigating recipes. Katarina really breaks down the magic into science and provides depth charge seeking explanations with exquisite photography.One thing I LOVE to see are the different variations of a particular recipe. Take the humble pie crust. I included a picture. This is what sings to me, the comparisons! I rarely make dessert dishes w/ gluten and even less with dairy for other people, I forget what that “should” look/ feel/ bake like.She also goes into how and why different flours mix or cook differently, and how to navigate it. And it’s done in great detail. It’s a cookbook with flowcharts, I mean, come on!!It’s a big book, worthy of a fine place on anyone’s shelf, allergies or not. Anyone can learn a lot from this book.I’m sitting here waiting for her to put out a casserole book or something.And if you don’t like to cook but you like books, then you’ll still love it. I just appreciate everything about this effort. Cover to cover. 10 stars.

    Fantastic Resource for Flexible, Allergy‑Friendly Baking
    The Elements of Baking has been such a helpful addition to our kitchen. The book is packed with great recipe ideas, and what we appreciate most is how easy it becomes to adapt almost anything to be gluten‑free, dairy‑free, egg‑free, or fully vegan. It takes the guesswork out of substitutions and explains why certain swaps work, making the results much more reliable.We love that we can take a recipe we already enjoy and adapt it to support our lifestyle without sacrificing flavor or texture. The guidance feels empowering rather than restrictive, and the recipes we’ve tried so far have turned out beautifully.If you’re looking for a baking guide that’s flexible, inclusive, and genuinely useful, this one is absolutely worth having on the shelf.

    An excellent book for ANY baker; not just {X}-free chefs!
    I learned about this book through her website, and was eager to receive it – and, it exceeds my expectations.I love to cook, but I recently married a wonderful woman with a lot of food allergies that can trigger her migraines. I don’t have much experience with trying to avoid certain ingredients, but I have been doing “okay” at making gluten- and dairy-free recipes out of my old favorites. I understand the science behind what happens when you cook food well enough to make a decent showing.Getting this book is something akin to a friend carrying your pack on a hike. Sure, I was getting there, but it is a lot easier now. Some of my hunches were confirmed in this book, and others dispelled, and it does a great job of filling in gaps in my knowledge.There are a ton of photos showing, for example, 4 different pie crusts you can expect to make: Regular, GF, Nondairy, and GF Nondairy. Then it explains how to use other ingredients to produce the binding effect of gluten, or the silkiness of butter, that you are subbing out of your own recipes.This is not a recipe book, it is a how to make recipes yourself book. That’s why I say it is something “regular” bakers may be interested in, too – I’m gaining more understanding of what the “regular” ingredients do by understanding what to replace them with.This is an impressive book at a very low price. I’d easily have paid 2x what I did for this book and been thrilled to own it. This is probably the best cookbook I own out of many dozen I have collected.

    Not your standard cookbook! This one is for the food nerds.
    I love, love, love this cookbook, as it’s helped me be able to salvage my family recipes after being diagnosed with Celiac. I enjoyed learning about the chemistry of baking. The way the book is written makes recipe adaptation approachable, and the illustrations and photos make it even more enjoyable.

    Good information
    Good book with a lot of information. Some recipes work great with the alternatives list and others are a fail.

    Great recipes and discussion of the science of successfully swapping ingredients
    This is such a great cookbook for somebody eating gluten-free/low Fodmap. The author has wonderful recipes on her blog so we knew we would like the cookbook, but it is also great how she explains the chemistry of how to adjust recipes to make them work when you have to remove common baking elements. We got it for my stepdaughter who is gluten free and low fodmap and a friend who is gluten free and enjoys baking.

    I absolutely love the work and the nuances that have gone into this book. I can’t imagine the level of work that she has done to put this to fruition. Absolutely stunning and I am a tech nerd and love everything about technicalities of baking so I loved it overall
