Hi everyone, I don't post much now, mainly because I have got on with my life, I eat what I like when I like and how I like. Sometimes I have a smile when I think, if only Herika could see me sink my teeth into gf sausage or something similar. I do come back in here occassionally and all I see is people throwing bricks at each other, and it totally frustrates me. What i would like is to see more recipes, as after all this is a recipe thread! ! ! ! Thanks for the recipes cookessentials, I'm hungry now.

Yes, sadly it is not the same. I must say though, i have always found herika very polite, unlike some others. It would be nice to get some of the old original posters back too as they have some great ideas. You usually find with alot of the not so pleasant posters that they just love to wind others up and for the most part, I try to ignore them. At times, however, I have no problem in letting them know they have over-stepped the mark - but to them it is water off a ducks back - this is obviously how they lead their lives. Glad that there are still a few of us "oldies" around with some great recipes, tips and tricks. That's why the old Colonel potter Quote is just so apt for the recipe section. I am fortunate not to suffer with problems with gluten and the like, but i do have friends who do and I know how frustrating it can be to make delicious food that you can enjoy. When the GF books arrive, I shall try and add some more for you.

Will try some of these recipes -Have been GF for a year & lost 12 kgs! Have adapted the family diet, however, miss 7 now looks as if needs to be GF, so will probably put a little more effort into being better at it. But I agree that the cost is the worst part of being GF! although some GF food is just plain nasty!

bumping because ive been G/F for 10yrs but strict strict for 6yrs, and I just want to say to herica that I am absolutly anal about reading and researching ingredients with the food I eat and you will find that most people on here will do the same if they are that scared of having a reaction, thank you everyone for the recipes, lovin them and keep em coming!

hhhmmm I don't know why you would say herika that Coeliacs can eat some things that Gluten Intolerant people can't....seems to me that being coeliac cuts out way more than what people with intolerances can have... At least people with intolerances can manage some level of allowance with eating gluten products.

Im gluten intolerant, cows milk intolerant, cant have vege gums (a lot of Coeliacs are ok with these), anything classed as a gum such as tapioca, seaweed etc (a lot of Coeliacs can have these). So Coeliacs who are only gluten intolerant can eat more than people who are gluten intolerant and also have other food intolerances. (Hope Ive explained this right) :)

herika, have you heard of the specific carbohydrate diet? (www dot pecanbread dot com) A doctor I worked for was helping some of his (Autism) patients implement that diet and they were getting amazing results. I just mentioned it because I remember almost everyone being unable to tolerate gluten, dairy (at least initially) and a host of other things, including gums which indicated it was more than gluten they needed to avoid. They use honey instead of sugar, and only any carbohydrate that is able to be broken down in the top portion of the digestive tract.

hi mmecholet thanks for that. I have looked at the SCD diet before and one thing they stipulate is people who have a problem with corn, buckwheat, rice and soy benefit from the diet as these are not allowed on it.While I cant have buckwheat and have to be careful with corn, Im fine with rice and soy.Also the recipes use a lot of expensive nut butters and often have an ingredient or something in I wouldnt have (not saying what or why so I dont get accused of being pedantic or extreme). So although it could help a lot of people I will stick to the diet I have worked out for myself.Thank you for mentioning it though, Im always open to hearing about or learning anything new :)

scd The specific carbohydrate diet is quite interesting, but quite restrictive. the site I have put below says it is for anybody with bowel disorders, even coeliacs. At the home page, it has a legal/illegal list you can click onto and a list of foods that are allowed etc. http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/beginners.htm

I know this is going further off topic (ie not gluten free recipes!) but re the SCD - I have a 5 y.o unable to eat dairy (cows milk products anyway) and I'm really keen to try and make some SCD yogurt to see if the 24 hour fermentation process makes the proteins OK for him to digest. The SCD for autistic children often starts out very restrictive but as bowel healing takes place and the resultant processing of accumulated heavy metals, restoration of bacteria in the gut etc. they often expand to be able to eat quite a wide variety....though not gluten or unfermented dairy usually. It's good you're fine with rice Herika - we eat a LOT of that around here :))

For the G/F Jaffas who are interested PnS Mt Albert is now stocking all three Massel powdered GF stock, chicken, beef and veg. It will be on the shelves by Friday. One of their grocery managers is in charge of ordering in most of the GF foods (they have quite a large section that is getting more varied and bigger each time I go in), and he is very helpful and pleasant to deal with. He is also looking at the possibility of getting Tamari Soy Sauce in. (Wheat free, Non fermented). Unfortunately I threw out my empty bottle.Does anyone have one in the cupboard that they can give me the relevant info, maker, distributor, ingredients, etc so that I can pass them on to him please?

I made up this recipe on Thursday, in an attempt to get a cake that cuts really well (isn't crumbly).I'm really happy with it,add more sugar if you like a sweeter cake.It's also very low fat.Here it is ... In a large bowl,put 3 very finely diced apples and stir through 4 heaped tablespoons of brown sugar.Add 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of mixed spice,1 and 1/2 cups raisins and mix again.Add 3 beaten eggs and mix well.Now sprinkle over 1/2 cup of custard powder and pour over 1 cup of soy milk (normal cows milk would be fine),mix well.Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda,1 teaspoon of baking powder and 2 cups of buckwheat flour .Mix until combined.Put into a lined 25cm x 25cm baking tin.Bake at 180 for about 40 mins.

Gluten free almond and raisin biscuits ... (adapted from an AWW recipe that had gluten in it)...In a large bowl beat together 1/2 cup of sugar, 3 eggs and 1 teaspoon of almond essence until very pale and thick.Then add 2 cups of each of the following - coconut,puffed rice (I use brown puffed rice but ricies would be fine),raisins and ground almonds.Mix until well combined.Place large tablespoons on a lined tray.Squeeze together a bit with your fingers,lightly flatten with a fork.Bake at 180 for approximately 12 minutes,or until looking nicely golden.Remove from the tray with a fish slice and allow to cool on a rack.These make very chewy biscuits.Do not worry when you put them on the tray,they look like they won't work,but have faith,they are delicious :-)

#44. That looks excellent. I'm going to try your recipe and will post a review :)) Watch this thread..hehe. The biscuits look great too, I make something very similar with honey in place of sugar. I almost always use 3 eggs in baking recipes and often use ground almonds - great way to get extra protein in (in my case important for dairy intolerant growing and active kids!). Thanks for sharing, I really look forward to trying that cake :)))
