Not another gluten free recipe book you groan... well hold that thought because you might be pleasantly surprised by The Allergy-Free Cook Bakes Bread: Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Egg-free by Laurie Sadowski.

The book contains useful information that, while it might seem obvious to experienced celiacs, will be useful to those people to gluten free. And although the recipes are vegan, as well as gluten free, we think it would be easy to substitute butter or milk for vegan buttery spread or non-dairy milk if you don''t have vegan versions available, the book gives tips.

How many of you miss bread since going wheat or gluten free? And if you've read our previous blogs you'll no doubt agree that decent gluten free breads are few and far between.

Although I try to steer away from too many sweet things I do find that granola bars are a useful "get you out of hunger" standby, especially if you're out and about and there's no wheat free or gluten free foods available.

If you read my previous blog on the GF Patisserie then you'll know how impressed I was with their great bread. Really good tasting bread that didn't crumble or need toasting.

Chef Damian Cardone admitted on his Facebook profile on March 10, 2011 that he thinks coeliacs on gluten free diets, who request gluten free meals at the restaurant he works in, are timewasters and it's all in their "disturbed little heads".
