More and more people are suffering from a condition called celiac disease which means they have a severe and potentially deadly aversion to any wheat products. That's why they need to eat what is known as a "gluten-free" diet. This book of recipes from Dr. Carol Fenster is sensitive to the needs of this special sect of people because she is an outspoken leader on their behalf. She explains how to prepare your kitchen for a gluten-free lifestyle and then serves up some of the most tantalizing recipes that will rival those you'd find in any cookbook anywhere. There are even suggestions in the back of the book about how to substitute key ingredients in traditional recipes with gluten-free ones.

With a husband who has been on a gluten-free diet for twenty years, I've tried just about every alternative I could find to substitute for "all purpose flour" in traditional recipes, including mixing my own from a vast array of other flours. Some were OK, some failed in texture, some failed in taste, some were downright inedible. With Beth's Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour, I've finally found a product that works in most of the cookies, tea breads, muffins, and so on that we all enjoy, and is also affordable for everyday use. It can be substituted in an equal quantity just about anywhere a recipe calls for "all purpose flour" - obviously you'll need to experiment if you use it for yeast breads. Oh, and by the way, it doesn't taste "gluten-free". We had a very merry Christmas at our house!

This is great for a gluten, corn, soy and casein free cheesy cracker. The orange color and spice mix really fools you into thinking you're eating a cheddar flavored cracker. This is our replacement for goldfish crackers and cheesy chex mix.
Let me know if you are trying to learn how to eat gluten free. It can be hard, but with the right tools, and some interesting ideas it doesn't have to be. What are your favorite gluten free recipe?
