I bought Annalise Roberts' Gluten-free baking Classics and everything so far has been FANTASTIC! I was just wondering what out of her recipe book and Bette Hagman's "The Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread" you have made that are also fantastic.

I hate wasting expensive ingredients and time on something that doesn't turn out delicious. I wasn't so keen on Annalise Roberts' breads but I think that's because she doesn't like rice flour in her breads and I love it.

I am buying Bette Hagman's book next so I am wondering which recipe to choose from it?

Here is what I've made in order from best to worst my rating and some comments to help if you buy Annalise Roberts' book

Carrot cake 10/10 - I think it's the best carrot cake I have EVER had. Some comments I got from wheat-eating people were were : " I don't even like carrot cake but this is SO GOOD" , "Umm.... are you going to make that carrot cake again soon?"(that one was repeated a few times) and " You are not missing ANYTHING with ordinary carrot cake"

Lemon cake 10/10 - " I think this is my new favorite cupcake" (from 16-year old cousin) "wow" , "you should make this again at christmas time". I had to make this twice because my boyfriend ate the ENTIRE TWO CAKES in 5 days. He left me one tiny piece, so that way he didn't "eat it all" arrggg... I was so mad. Also, I was confused because he barely weighs 150 pounds ;) .

Pizza crust - 10/10 After being turned off of pizza for more than a year thank's to Glutino's (maybe it was a bad one... maybe they always taste like cardboard), this pizza made me remember that I LOVE pizza. Grimm's peperoni on top somehow makes it shine more... I made a vegetarian one and it was not as delicious. Again, boyfriend ate 2 pizzas in one day. I havent shared this one with others yet.

Buttermilk doghnuts - 10/10 EVERYONE said they were better than timbits.... also I had a stomachache before I made them and after I ate them felt better (???) I am confused by this but every time I ate these I felt fantastic! For the buttermilk I soured rice milk with a little lemon and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Brownie 9/10 - Delicious! 2 people at school bought recipe book because I shared this with them

Banana nut muffins - 9/10 Boyfriend and I destroyed these

Chocolate fudge cake 9/10 - friend said " most satisfying chocolate cake" my friend had had in a long time

Chocolate doughnuts- 8/10 - good but not as good as the buttermilk ones

Foccacia 7.5-10 I liked it, people said it was "good", boyfriend said "okay"

French bread 7/10 - it was just decent

Sandwich bread 6.5/10 -- just too rich for me. I think I might be used to dry rice bread. Boyfriend didn't like it.

So, you don't need to go into as much detail as me, but what bread recipes did you like from Bette Hagman's books... or what other recipes did you find were 10/10 from Annalise Roberts'? I think I like rice breads (other flours mixed in okay) best! Thanks!

From Annalise's book, I really liked the Lemon Coconut/Lemon Poppyseed muffins. Have made both variations several times. I also really liked the Chocolate Ricotta Muffins (back when I could eat dairy) - very moist!

I made the Cranberry Nut bread the other day, and it was good, but a little too sickly sweet. I would probably half the sugar next time. Flavor was good though, coworkers liked that one too. I made the coconut cream pie last year, and it was great! Have also made the lemon squares. Yum! Made the fruit crisp w/ fresh blackberries, that turned out pretty good, except i burned it a little. Have also made the rustic flat bread a couple times. That one's pretty good too. With all the recipes except the Chocolate ricotta muffins and one loaf of the flat bread, i just substituted Featherlight Mix flour for whatever hers called for. That's just what I usually have on hand.

Anyway, hope this helps.

Another great cookbook/website is eatingglutenfree.com. Awesome recipes! The authors teach a cooking class in my area, and every recipe of theirs that I've tried, I've loved!

Wow, thanks! I hate wasting ingredients on stuff that's not good :-). I can't really do dairy either, but I really recommend the doughnuts with a little soured rice milk :-). I used Ryza. Oh, and I THINK I might have added a little coconut powder.

you're welcome. i will have to try the doughnuts. i have a recipe that i made right after my diagnosis a couple years ago. it was good, but a lot of work.

i bought some kinnickinick chocolate doughnuts at the HFS a couple months ago. they're pretty weak, imo. just bland. i have them sitting in my freezer. every time i see them, i think i ought to take one out and whip up some DF chocolate frosting to put on them to make them taste good!

i bet her recipe is good :)

      Positive biopsy

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Fruits & Veggies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
