I folded egg whites in to make it a little fluffier and also added a little extra baking powder. Then I sliced into two sections and made a cream filling to put in between and on top with some fresh fruit. It was much tastier than the first one I made with regular icing. I might try that pineapple upside down cake idea next

Hi, Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to visit Cannes but I have heard that they are much more accommodating to English speakers. If you are staying at a large hotel they will probably have a breakfast menu. If you can tolerate eggs, you can always order omelets and also they usually offer these for lunches. Usually there will be a staff...

Hi, I used these products and they are very good! The flours are light and fluffy and make nice baked products. Open Original Shared Link You should be able able to find them at the pharmacy. If the boxes dont have the english version, you can look up the receipes on line in english. Good Luck, Theresa

It took me awhile to realize that items other than food contain wheat and can have really nasty effects on me: I also switched to the bareminerals and love it! It doesnt irritate my face and also covers up any inperfections with very little coverage. Its also not too costly and seems to last longer than most other products I have tried. Suave and...

Hi, We went on a two week Med cruise in May with Carnival - had a great time and absolutely loved it! Although, I made sure they knew my eating restrictions before the cruise they didnt make any special accomadations - it may differ from boat to boat depending on the staff. The dining room is easy to eat in b/c you have the same staff every day...

Hi Rosey, Welcome! There are a few members that list on the board from the Paris area. You could scroll through some of the old posts and there are a few topics about France and the Paris area. I have lived in S. France for 2 years and found it challenging to deal with but managed with only a few incidents of gluttening - which I felt was not bad...

True Roquerfort and Blue Cheese that are exported from France are made from a mold that is grown directly on bread! That includes the major brands exported to the States of Society and Papillion! In the US, Kraft and other food distributors may use some other type of preservative or source to create mold for their Blue Cheese - you would need to check...

Hi, I just did a tour of the Socieity Roquefort factory in Roquefort France last weekend. The tour was very interesting and YES - They really do create the mold from old bread!!! All though I only toured one of the three main distributors I was told that the process is the same at all three major Roquefort makers. The process for blue cheese...

Hello, I live near Toulouse and I hate to say that France is one of the more difficult countries in Europe for Celiacs but can be done with some planing. Bring a supply of snacks and you can also buy snacks, breads, pastas and other gluten-free items at any local Biologic store. You might want to try some of the products - they are different and some...

We recently returned from a Carnival cruise in the Med and had a wonderful time! We took our daughter and she had a blast at their camp carnival - the ship was very kid and family oriented. The counselors were wonderful and the availability of care was fantastic - it was great to have some adult alone time both on the boat and for shore excursions. The...

It is your HR departments responsiblity to assist you in this matter and they should be able to give you the information you need, such as a copy of the FMLA guidelines, including your companies guidelines and steps required. Each HR dept should have their guidelines in writing and you are entitled to view them! They have probably turned it over to their...

I always use fresh yeast but I have to make sure I add the water at just the right temperature or it doesnt rise properly. I purchased an inexpensive cooking thermometer at IKEA that works wonders. I also cook mine in the oven and sometimes I get lucky and sometimes I just cant seem to get anything to come out as it should. I am not very consistent...

Hi Ariela, We will also be in those spots in Rome in May as part of our cruise. It will be my first trip to Italy but I live in France and use a lot of gluten-free products from Italy b/c they are fantastic!!! Here is a sight that will help you find restaurants: Open Original Shared Link Also, here is a sight where you can print out some restaurant...

Just a thought - Could you try posting at your local bio store for a gluten-free baker? Around Toulouse there are some stores that have individuals that do gluten-free cooking courses and maybe someone would also do baking? If you have a good one close by, maybe they might know of someone. I wish you the best of luck! Theresa

In Europe there is an Italian company called Schar that makes really good gluten-free products. You can find a recipe from their site for an Italian Easter Cake: Open Original Shared Link I have not tried this recipe but I looked on the box of "Mix C" and the ingredients are: Corn Starch, Corn Flour, thickerner, locust bean gum - I was suprised...
