Hello readers!!!
We, Inge and Gillian, a mother and daughter writing team, hailing from New Mexico, welcome you to our blog!
We chose this format to document and share with you the story of our adventures in gluten free living. After our diagnosis of gluten intolerance almost 3-1/2 years ago, we naturally experimented with converting our most favorite family recipes into gluten free versions. Initially there were just as many failures as successes, including the eventful demise of our long lived stand mixer in a cloud of smoke. Eventually, the successes won and a book was birthed titled “A Celebration of Gluten Free Baking.” Yeah!!!
So many of our family members and friends, while extremely sympathetic to our journey, could not see themselves adopting a gluten free lifestyle. Most had just experimented with gluten free flour blends and/or prepared mixes,which is fine and works with some recipes, but generally, the results were less than spectacular. We started along those routes ourselves, but quickly learned, that, especially the more delicate European desserts and breads only resulted in failure. Most of our desserts have been adapted using recipe specific proportions of gluten free flour options. None of our recipes involve the use of white sugar, soy, corn, bean flour or excessive amounts of starch.
Come back soon and visit our blog, as we will be posting photos, recipes as well as thoughts about life in general.
Feel free to leave a post, we look forward to hearing from you.
