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 :)

      CT with contrast.

      I didn’t know there were different types of CT. I’m not sure which I had. It just said CT scan with contrast.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared....

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.
