There are some comments I have just allowed today, having been terribly busy yesterday, so have a look at the St. Joseph's Day posts.
Yesterday's task was to cook for an almost entirely gluten-free dinner party. (Those who can eat gluten had bread and melba toast with their soup and their cheese.) All the guests were Single, mostly Serious Singles, which is to say old-fashioned...
Blah! Must go. Lunch party for bride.
I've been cooking gluten-free dinners every night for over a year. Pretty challenging, isn't it? Much more so than vegetarian. You have to think of the flour in the gravy, the breading on the cutlet, whatever.
ReplyDeleteBut when it's for the health of your loved ones, it's a labor of love.
Indeed! And I learned a lot making that cake! For example, you can make your own gluten-free baking powder by mixing 1 part bicarb of soda to 2 parts cream of tartar and using it at once.
ReplyDeleteYes you can! Is your baking powder not gluten-free? I believe most American baking powder contains cornstarch as a filler, so it is gluten-free, thank goodness. Not that I really do much gluten-free baking, because I am lazy. Plain chicken and rice is a good deal easier.
ReplyDeleteAlas, in the UK, they use wheat flour.
