In reply to Carol. Thanks for sharing Carol! Isn't it interesting how different we all are. Definitely a challenge to be wheat free but need the gluten. You're so nice to cook for your neighbors and friends.

In reply to Sigrid Trombley. Such a thoughtful dinner. It really is impressive how many gluten free products are available now.

Hi Barbara, I echo the thanks for having these recipes in a collection. It really does help to have it in one place. From my experience, the availability of allergy safe products differs, depending on which part of the country (USA) you happen to be in. Many are available online as well, which makes it nice for folks who may not get out easily. One point I’d like to add would be that, if you are using an electric pressure cooker that you’ve used with gluten containing ingredients, please scrub everything with great care. Cross contamination can hide in the oddest places!

Lots of wonderful looking recipes, Barbara.

While I don’t need to eat gluten-free, I’m sure those who do, appreciate grouping all these recipes together so they don’t have to go through dozens and dozens of recipes looking for those that are gluten-free.

I remember many years ago (probably at least 25) inviting some elderly neighbors over for supper. I knew the woman couldn’t have anything with gluten so I carefully selected the recipes I made. I also managed to find some gluten-free dinner rolls at a health food store – this was at a time when gluten-free choices weren’t ubiquitous. I think it had been at least 20 years since my neighbor had eaten bread of any kind. She’d only shopped at traditional supermarkets and didn’t know it was possible to find gluten-free bread. She thought she’d died and gone to heaven and I’m sure the rolls I’d served were the best part of the meal. I’m sure it must be wonderful to find that you can eat a version of a food you thought you’d never be able to eat again.

One of our neighbors has Celiac disease so it’s always a challenge trying to come up with something gluten free to serve when we have them over. Another neighbor’s mother who comes to visit during the summer from Ireland has to eat gluten AND wheat free so that poses another puzzle. In speaking with my neighbor’s wife, she said it’s a little easier now to find gluten free products than when her husband was first diagnosed. She said she has to read EVERYTHING because gluten can hide in the most unimaginable things-even toothpaste! Mary (the lady from Ireland) said gluten free products are readily available in Europe-more so than here from what she’s seen. She makes her own flour mixes and such to bake. She said it’s taken her a long time but she’s got bread down to where it looks and tastes almost as good as bread containing gluten. I’ve used gluten free all-purpose flour and xanthan gum to make desserts for them and I’ll admit-it’s a challenge. It’s nothing like regular all-purpose flour that’s for sure. Still on the learning curve but I’m making progress-with baby steps. 🙂

I’ve pinned this post to save for when we have our summer get together-this will really help me out a lot! Thank you Barbara!
