Welcome to My Gluten-Free Baking Website!
Two years ago I had to relearn how to bake when we realized that my son and I needed to follow a gluten-free diet. I decided that it would be best to keep our entire home free of gluten and have included my two older non-gluten-free children in this so that we could all eat the same foods without feeling deprived or risking cross-contamination.
Cooking regular meals wasn't particularly difficult to adapt to our new gluten-free guidelines, but the thought of making baked goods without wheat, rye, oats or barley was daunting. At first, I tended to stick with premade, prepackaged foods and mail-ordered quite a bit of our special foods, but the cost was prohibitive and most of the food we tried was almost inedible. Finally, I decided to try my hand at gluten-free baking...after all, could it really be much worse than what I was finding online or in the stores?
I have been pleasantly surprised with the results of my efforts and have launched this website to pass along some of our new favourite gluten-free recipes. I've learned to love the pursuit of adapting an old favourite recipe and fine-tuning some existing gluten-free recipes to come up with results that are enjoyable and tasty. These recipes have helped making gluten-free living easier for all of us and it's wonderful to feel like none of us are missing out on anything now.
I hope you enjoy these recipes and look forward to feedback once you've tried them! Please check back for additional recipes as they're added!
Take care...
