I have been wanting to post this recipee, but I only have it in PDF form, so can't cut and paste - and don't know how to attach a pdf to a post :( ...its to die for and pretty easy to make.

If someone can help me with the techie stuff, I'll post it this afternoon! :)

EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT **********

Divine Chocolate Torte (Gluten Free)

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted Passover margarine

1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

6 large eggs, separated

1 1/2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes, fresh or canned

1 teaspoon Passover rum extract (optional)

10 ounces good-quality semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled

1/4 teaspoon salt

Chocolate Ganache Glaze

1/2 cup water

6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

Toppings (optional)

Unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted

Curls of semi-sweet chocolate

Pureed strawberries or raspberries

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch springform pan with baking parchment.

Torte:

In a mixing bowl, cream the unsalted margarine or butter with the 1/3 cup sugar. Blend in the egg yolks, then the mashed sweet potatoes, rum extract (if using), and cooled chocolate.

In another bowl, with clean beaters, whip the egg whites gently until they are a bit foamy.

Then add in the salt and whip on a higher speed, slowly dusting in the two tablespoons of sugar to form stiff,

glossy (but not dry) peaks.

Fold one third of the egg whites into the sweet potato/chocolate mixture and work them in well to loosen the

batter. Then, gently fold in the remaining egg whites, blending well but taking care not to deflate the mixture.

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 40 minutes. The cake rises and looks dry, and slightly cracked on top when done. The middle should be soft but firm.

Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then remove to a wire rack. At this point, the cake can be frozen for up to a month.

To decorate:

Simply sift some cocoa over the top of the cake or decorate it with curls of chocolate (using a vegetable peeler and a warmish chocolate bar). The cake can also be offered with a pureed raspberry or strawberry sauce, garnished with chocolate shavings, or left as is, with a citrus leaf, a sweetheart rose, or several berries in the center.

Makes 14 to 18 servings. :wub:

Robix - Usually at the top of the pdf there is a button 'Select Text Tool' or something similar that changes the pointer and enables you to select & copy & paste.

Looks good. Can't wait for the rest. :P

      What Dr. Gunn states is essentially true. It is a rule out measure. But be aware that to possess either of the two primary genes that have been identified with celiac disease (or both) doesn't necessarily mean that you have or will develop celiac disease. Almost 40% of the general population carries one or both but only about 1% of the general population...

      Test interpretations

      Have you had celiac genetic risk testing? A celiac genetic test is accurate with or without gluten in your diet. If you don't carry the celiac risk genes you can effectively rule out celiac disease for life.

      Good, balanced analysis. I liked the comparison of the different platforms in this context. Fwiw, the same essay largely would work if you substitute any of many contemporary topics. As a moderator of this site, have you stepped back and considered how this site fits into this essay? Personally, I don't think I have enough visibility into the comments...

      Test interpretations

      Based on those results alone, it’s not possible to say you have celiac disease. The test that is usually most specific for celiac, tTG-IgA, is negative in your results, and the endomysial antibody (EMA) is also negative, which generally argues against active celiac disease. However, your deamidated gliadin IgA is elevated, and your total IgA level is also h...

      What Dr. Gunn states is essentially true. It is a rule out measure. But be aware that to possess either of the two primary genes that have been identified with celiac disease (or both) doesn't necessarily mean that you have or will develop celiac disease. Almost 40% of the general population carries one or both but only about 1% of the general population will develop active celiac disease. It remains latent until triggered by some stress event which may or may not occur. So, there is a genetic component to celiac disease but there is also an epigenetic component.

      Based on those results alone, it’s not possible to say you have celiac disease. The test that is usually most specific for celiac, tTG-IgA, is negative in your results, and the endomysial antibody (EMA) is also negative, which generally argues against active celiac disease. However, your deamidated gliadin IgA is elevated, and your total IgA level is also high, which can sometimes affect how the other antibody tests behave. Another important factor is that you were reducing gluten before the test, which can lower antibody levels and make the results less reliable. Because of that, many doctors recommend a gluten challenge (eating gluten regularly for several weeks) before repeating blood tests or considering an endoscopy if symptoms and labs raise concern. It would be best to review these results with a gastroenterologist, who can interpret them in context and decide whether further testing is needed.

      Test interpretations

      By trents · Posted

      Since you compromised the validity of the antibody testing by experimenting with gluten withdrawal ahead of the testing, you are faced with two options: 1. Reintroduce significant amounts of gluten into your diet for a period of weeks, i.e., undertake a "gluten challenge". The most recent guidelines are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of testing. Note: I would certainly give it more than two weeks to be sure. 2. Be willing to live with the ambiguity of not knowing whether gluten causes you problems because you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we have tests for it. Celiac disease has an autoimmune base. NCGS does not. GI symptoms overlap. In the early stages of celiac disease, other body systems may not be showing stress or damage so, symptomatically, it would be difficult to distinguish between celiac disease and NCGS. Both conditions require elimination of gluten from the diet for symptom relief. Some experts feel that NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease.
