I did not write my cookbook to be a Gluten Free cookbook, but thanks to Gluten Free Oat Flour/Oats now available I am so delighted that Celiac’s can benefit from it by broadening their choices! Check out my mission page-My mission is to help as many people as I can.

Fortunately, I do not have Celiac’s, but I am allergic to wheat and dairy. That said, I care deeply and have so much compassion for Celiac’s. I have studied about Celiac’s at a deep level and speak and educate people about it. I want to help advocate for Celiac’s to increase the awareness and level of understanding and hopefully compassion.

You probably know that Celiac’s/Gluten Free diets cannot include Wheat, Rye or Barley. It use to include oats, but now gluten-free oats and oat flour are available! Yeah! I  give ingredient alternatives and options in the recipes, mostly for variety. Gluten Free Oat Flour can be used in place of any other flours including rye, barley or soy to be gluten-free.

The few recipes that include beer-such as the Chili, Fried Fish Batter, Tempura-Redbridge beer or another gluten-free beer may be used.

Use ALL  GF Oat Flour in place of any barley or rye flour in the following recipes- Irish Soda Bread, Fried Chicken, Biscuits, Pancakes, Fruit Crisps, Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes. You can use soy flour in place of the barley or rye flour too for variety and structure/texture if you don’t want 100% GF Oat Flour.

Spelt Bread-do not make this because it is a non-hybridized WHEAT.

I hope that if you have Celiac’s that my cookbook and blog will be a helpful source of information and bring  joy and ease back into your cooking and eating. I wish you much health and happiness.
