Hi All
I'm new here, so forgive me if I've missed it !
I'm looking for gluten free recipes on here, but can't find a way to search for them on the search tool.
My Mum was diagnosed a while ago with Coeliacs Disease, and really misses baking ! She has tried making her own recipes with gluten free ingredients, but they never seem to come out right.
Can anyone point me in the direction of some good grub ?
Thanks
Gill
Just type Gluten free recipes in a search engine and you should find loads of sites. Try BBC food programmes as well.
If you want to make gluten free bread (which is usually very dry) add half a teaspoon of xanthan gum to the gluten free flour. It really makes a difference.
Scotch Pancakes also turn out well using gluten free flour.
We just use Dove's Farm Plain or Self-raising in our usual recipes & it works fine. Buckwheat flour is interesting -not a true wheat but a member of the rhubarb family - good but kind of nutty flavour. Gram flour is chickpea & bright yellow - we put some in with shortbread ingrdients to make it really yellow coloured! Just keep an eye on the dryness of your mix because some non-wheat flours are more absorbant.
Thanks guys x
have you joined Coeliac uk. you can look up recipes on their website when registered, every month.
good luck
You will find lots of glutenfree recipes here: http://members2.boardhost.com/glutenfree/
and on the supplementary board attached to it where all recipes from previous postings are saved.
This might help some. . .I appreciate it's not "wheat free" nor "yeast free" but I can't tolerate any mass produced breads or pastas but can eat this with ease and no health problems. It took me years to find something so I'm more than happy to pass on the word.
I make all of my bread, pasta, biscuits and cakes (all very yummy) with "Type 55" French flour which is very low in gluten. I buy it in 25 kilo sacks which is delivery free from here; http://www.shipton-mill.com/
You do have to make small changes to most recipes but to be able to eat without illness is just brill. They gave me my life back :-)
If you want any of my recipes, just e-mail me
charles-harvey@ntlworld.com and I just hope I can make someone's day.
Try Phil Vickery's new book, Seriously Good! Gluten-Free Baking. It's brilliant, I really like it. Also have his earlier book, Seriously Good! Gluten-free Cooking. Let me know if you use it and like it. Good luck!
Hi there, I hope I can help. You will find some easy to follow recipes on my website www.glutenfree4kids.com Although this sounds like a website for kids....it is actually a website for anyone interested in gluten free food. Have a look on the website where you can download some great recipes and most are easy and don't require lots of specialist ingredients. There are lots of delicious gluten free recipes out there, so don't despair. Making great cakes, breads and biscuits is completely possible. Regards, Adriana
I have two grandchildren with coeliac disease. I use xanthan gum( available at Tesco or sainsbury) with the dove gluten free flour. I also use it when making pastry. xanthan gum puts back the elasticity to pastry and makes rolling out much easier.
I have a friend coming to stay who is coeliac and wondered which grains would be safe to cook for dinner. Any help would be much appreciated.
Grains that are safe for coeliac sufferes:
- Rice
- Cornmeal (as in polenta); also cornflour.
- Buckwheat (good for making pancakes; but check the label because some manufacturers blend it with wheat flour).
- Gram flour (used in Indian cooking, and also for making things like falafel).
You can get gluten-free pasta (corn-based); look in the Free From section of your supermarket.
If you plan to do any baking, look for gluten-free mixes. For example, Dove's Farm do both a g/f bread mix and a g/f self-raising flour. Rice flour is good for making sauces (as is cornflour).
Grains that are NOT suitable for coeliacs:
- Wheat
- Rye
- Spelt and kamut
- Couscous
- Barley
- Possibly oats (not sure about that; better check).
You need to be careful. Lots of products contain gluten that you wouldn't expect.
Just looking around my kitchen, I have baking powder, vinegar, ready-made mustard, soy sauce, and a sachet of stir-fry sauce; all these contain gluten. So whatever you buy, be sure to check the allergen listing on the label.
Hope this helps.

here i am going to share a good recipe
Hello!
I'm a 58 year old male. I like cooking (meat) but have never baked in my life.
I found the 'Baking Mad' recipe for 'Wholesome White Loaf'.
But I'm confused by the (lack) of instruction!
The first two instructions are -
1. Put the flour, sugar, salt and yeast into a bowl.
2. Mix to a soft dough with the oil and water.
scavenger hunt ideas
But oil and water don't mix! How do I add oil & water? Which do I put in first?

I always just sub rice flour or one of the Doves Farm blends for "normal" flour in recipes and it's usually fine (except in bread!)
Also, shameless self-promotion here, but I write a gluten-free blog which has lots of recipes, link below :-)
Instead of only following specifically gluten-free recipes, I try to experiment with baking by just following the majority of "normal" recipes and just making a few tried and tested tweaks: I substitute normal flour for the gluten-free Doves Farm blend, adding a bit of xantham gum to it too (1tsp for every 200g of flour), and also find that with a lot of gluten-free baking, adding more liquid to the mixture always makes it turn out better, for example using an extra egg to bind the ingredients together is always a winner, as it returns some of the elasticity to the mixture that gluten would usually provide. If I don't have an extra egg I tend to add a few splashes of milk to cake/cupcake mixtures too.
I find that adding an egg helps with the elasticity too. Some more self-promotion here, I've got some recipes on my blog: http://wildblueberryforest.blogspot.co.uk/
Can someone please tell me if the Chocolate Truffle Cake is gluten free. Thanks
