    Believe me, I will. We are going to a white truffle festival again, too, and will be consuming tons of fresh fish and seafood. We leave in 20 days and are gone for an entire month. :-)

    Try more sorghum as it is known to best replicate wheat flour flavour. I use it a lot and am not sure I agree it is close but after baking with about 25 gluten-free flours it may be the best you can get. Cocoa is ok but does not add the wheat or bran element much at all. Quite simply there just is not a good substitute. :-(

    My recipe is similar but I roast the bananas first in the oven to really develop their flavor and instead of chocolate chips I grate and chop chunks of really great chocolate. And I use my homemade vanilla as I do in much of my baking. Thank goodness cupcakes, cakes, cookies, brownies, muffins, etc. are simple to make gluten free without anyone realizing...

    I've been housesitting where the WiFi is sporadic so have missed posting recently. Am also getting ready for our big Croatia/Italy trip in three weeks for the month of October. Came into town to do more cooking to take back with me. I made a big batch of Bolognese - very authentic with white wine, milk, etc. Tonight is: - Greek baby back ribs ...

    ARCHIVED Pure Spices

    love2travel replied to T.H.'s topic in Super Sensitive People

    Thankfully I buy pure spices whole and grind myself. Fresher, anyway! :-)

    I am in Italy a lot and have had to use my restaurant card several times. But then we are adventurous travelers and really get off the beaten path into non-touristy villages, etc.

    I used to get two colds a year pre dx. Have not had a cold now for two years (dx three years ago)! Hope the same for you, too.

    Me, too. I travel to Europe lots and have never had a problem with this.

    Search this site for Simona's Challah Bread. It is very good.

    Only 1/4 crazy. :-D Anyway, some do have serious problems with butter. Thankfully I am not in that category!

    Most butters DO contain lactose. The only form my sister with severe lactose intolerance can have is ghee. She gets very sick from just trace amounts in regular butter. Some European cultured butters have less if I recall correctly. I must look that one up. Many hard aged cheeses contain trace amounts, too. Will find the source for that, too. Open...

    That is what I thought and very understandable. The best of luck in your venture!!!

    Simona, is it possible to post a recipe? If it is as good as your challah, it will be a winner. If not, I understand. For such a loaf I would happily pay $10 to $12.

    If you have a food processor you can buy turkey pieces and grind yourself as well. ETA: oops! Karen beat me to this in her response. I have never seen anything added to raw turkey meat in Canada. It is very easy to find it "naked" in our grocery stores, thankfully.

    Oh, how I understand! Food is my life, too. I am a recipe tester and teach cooking classes and am absolutely obsessed with cooking. At first my grief was inconsolable, especially as I did not feel ill from eating gluten. My diagnosis came by accident. Now I enjoy testing recipes and catering for events (i.e. celiacs at a wedding this weekend). When...

    Where in Italy? We go there regularly. Be careful when ordering gelato - often there is cross contamination but many flavors also contain gluten. When we travel I use restaurant cards in that country's language.

    Creamy ricotta, homemade basil pesto and speck tartine Baby greens, peppered almonds, Parmesan shards and orange raspberry vinaigrette Chocolate crepes

    I cannot fathom having options, let alone enough to track! The nearest safe place for me to eat is 300 miles away. Thank goodness I am so passionate about cooking!

    ARCHIVED Struggling

    love2travel replied to Teag's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Roasting vegetables brings out their natural sweetness. Vastly different than boiling.

    In addition to the great suggestions above, you may wish to clean any electric can openers like crazy or invest in a new one. Gobs of ick can hide in there!

    Ha ha! I chuckled to myself as I typed this, wondering whether you would see it! I guess you did. That sounds very good to my mind and tummy. :-) Funny but I am making French Toast tomorrow. Great minds think alike!

    Bangers (Cumberland sausages) Mash (whipped buttery potatoes) Steamed broccoli

    Thick slice of homemade bread with a thick layer of homemade raspberry jam. Again!

    "For me personally, I needed the endoscopy confirmation to really commit myself to going gluten free for life. Even with positive blood tests, I still didn't believe I had Celiac until I had the biopsy results (and even then, I tried to search for alternate diagnoses!). I think whether you want that confirmation for your adherance to the diet is really a...
