Anyone tried his cookbook? I've had it in my wish list on Amazon for over a year.

Along those lines, we're going to start up gluten-free tomorrow! If you had to purchase one gluten-free cookbook to get you started, family friendly, which one would you choose? I'm going to run and get it today.

Actually, I think it would be a baking book as everyday dinner recipes are pretty easy for me to figure out.

Out of curiosity I just browsed through this Gluten Free Every Day Cookbook on Amazon. My greatest challenge is baking, not cooking, so I'm probably not inclined to buy it. I am curious to see what others have to say about it though. I keep adding things to my wish list all the time, especially based on other's recommendations. Ya, just what I need...another cookbook. lol tongue.gif

I know what you mean! I get most of my recipes off the internet--here and blogs and off of Twitter links.

So do I! I've printed off so many recipes that I need to start my own cookbook. Well, I've sorta done that already in a 3-ring notebook...only problem, nothing is organized. I even bought write-on dividers. So that's a good project for the dead of winter. (I may have to buy a larger notebook though).

But I'm still prone to pick up another new cookbook now and then based on recommendations. rolleyes.gif

Good question. I've picked up a few but am too new yet to say I have one to die for. But I keep trying new recipes, especially for baking. Sheesh, I've been cooking forever so that's not the problem but baking is.

Let us know what you buy. I think I'd like the new Betty Crocker one...magazine-like...that's supposedly in the racks at the front of the grocery store. First I need to find it and then browse through it.

I think I'll try your idea of searching this site and the internet. I'm also going to just substitute other gluten-free flours in recipes and see how they turn out. Perhaps heavy but it is worth a try for this novice. My pantry isn't stocked yet with the gluten-free mixes you have mentioned. Cornbread it is tomorrow! Happy New Year.

Lots of recipes here and on blogs, as well as manufacturer's websites. I especially like Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix and have made a few things using it. They always turn out. I made corn muffins using it the other night...yummy!

Gluten-free baking is tricky and you'll also need xanthan gum (I use it more than guar gum) to try to replicate the elasticity of wheat so your baked things don't crumble and fall apart. If you have some successes, be sure to post your recipes for us to try! smile.gif And some things can be made without gluten-free flours at all...like flourless peanut butter cookies, flourless chocolate cake (a decadent bit of heaven), meringue cookies, crustless pies, etc.

Happy New Year to you, too!

I've started one, too, but only hole punch and insert recipes I've tried and will use again. I have a whole stack I've printed out in the same drawer that I plan to try. I'm also trying to print two sided so I can keep the smaller binder in my drawer. Ha. Have not gotten around to dividers yet, but have often thought I should :)

For me, my goal is to have ONE bread recipe that I LOVE that turns out everytime, which I have, one brownie recipe, check, one in all the major categories that I like to eat, cornbread, etc. Those will be my go to recipes. Everything else is fluff, lol, in my opinion. I like to bake but don't have time or patience to just keep trying new things all of the time b/c I've tried plenty that didn't turn out. It's a process.

Some of us should get together and do the celiac.com recipe booklet sometime--only recipes that turn out GREAT everytime :)

OK...fezz up! lol A great always-turns-out bread recipe is the one I keep searching for...and the one thing most often that I try new recipes!!! That does not mean I haven't made some perfectly edible breads as I have and some I want to go back and make again.

YES, a celiac.com recipe booklet sounds great!

Bette Hagman's Caraway Soda Bread turns out everytime for me. I love it. Others may not. It's not a loaf type bread. I don't eat sandwiches, so it works for me.

For Christmas I got "easy gluten-free baking" by Elizabeth Barbone. She uses only simple easy to find ingredients. (not a ton of mixed flours) She is not a celiac, so tries to make her foods taste like the glutenous original and can actually try both to make sure it works.

I love my gluten-free Gourmet by Bette Hagman, too! Hers are just a bit more complicated as she has flour mixes.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
