>>>My subject line says it all, I guess!

 

My favorite gluten-free " cookbook " is the one we've written as a group here

on Vegan and Gluten Free. Our files section has all our recipes,

catagorized and filed for ease of use. Whenever I need a recipe, I use the

VGF files from my laptop that's sitting on the kitchen counter --- and cook

away! I do have other gluten-free cookbooks, though --- most aren't vegan.

What are favorites of other list members?

this group or at the following URL (***Recipes Posted to VGF***):

I'm really bad, I go to a certain large book store and grab a few

gluten-free cookbooks and find one or two recipes and copy them down ... I

don't have lots of time to bake and i'm sorta cheap!

 

I do own one though, it's called *Healthy Gluten-Free Cooking* by Darina

Allen and Rosemary Kearney. I've used several of the baking recipes. It

does contain a lot of complicated 5 part pot pie/souffle' type recipes

though (things I generally don't have time to fix or want to eat alone!).

Oh, and it's not vegan... but if you'd like a recipe for irish soda bread,

let me know and i'll copy it down for ya :)

My favorite right now is *Food Allergy Survival Guide* by Vesanto Melina, Jo

Stepaniak, and Dina Aronson. It has a wide variety of vegan recipes plus a

lot of valuable nutrition information.

 

 

 

I wish I could find a good cookbook for using the GF whole grains in baking:

quinoa flour, millet flour, sorghum flour, teff flour, etc. If I can't find

it, I might have to write it!

I decided to put all my favourite recipes online so I always know where

they are - you are welcome to help yourself at

http://www.damefandango.com/vhomepage.htm

<http://www.damefandango.com/vhomepage.htm>

 

They are vegan and wheat-free so you'd better check over each recipe to

make sure there isn't anything there that would cause you a problem -

but I tend to cook as many things as I can from scratch so it shouldn't

be too difficult.

I wish you would write that book for baking. We have a hard time finding GF and

vegan at the same time. And if I do find a few recipes to try, they don't

always go over very well with my middle child. He's the one I am the most

worried about, too. He is so very skinny, I don't need him going on hunger

strikes..... I am very frustrated right now. I need to look up this other

cookbook you have written. I am sure it's wonderful.

Ditto to what LaDonna said.

 

The " Files " section here is my favourite recipe book. All the recipes

are vegan and GF, and we have thousands of them. I do have other books

and occasionally use a recipe or 2 from them, but I know I can almost

always find what I'm looking for here. I do also tend to post my

favourites here too so that I know where to find them.

 

Last nights dinner was made enirely from recipes we have in the Files.

 

- Cashew Carrot Festive Roast (SF)

- Mushroom Sauce

- Cheez Potatoes (SF)

- Broccoli in Red Pepper Sauce (*SF)

- Carrots Lyonnaise (SF)

 

 

I go to the simply go to site

( ) and

then print off the recipes. That way I don't end up with food all over

my recipe books.

I like Carol Fenster's " Cooking Free " -she doesn't use much rice flour which

works for me. And she has lots of suggestions for cooking without dairy and

eggs and other allergy kinds of things.

Thanks, everyone! I realize I should have looked at the files before

asking. I'll definitely look into all the books and web sites

mentioned.

 

While I'm spending money at Amazon, any favorite " coping with gluten-

free life " books? Also, what do people think of Dangerous Grains? I

was thinking about getting that one.

 

Oh, it is dangerous when I start ordering books ...

It depends -- how idiot-proof is it? I've never baked bread

completely from scratch before and so I'm nervous. I've been reading

advice about gluten-free breadmaking, but they all seem to assume you

have experience with making regular bread.

 

What sort of equipment do I need? I have a breadmaker. Plus a mixer

that has dough hooks (I've never used them) -- but it is about 25

years old and everytime it does anything difficult, it makes unhappy

noises. I wish the thing would just break and then I could justify

buying something new and powerful.

 

I should like Irish Soda Bread since I'm part Irish, but I don't know

if I've ever had it. I recently tried the Colcannon recipe from

Marla's web site (every one I've tried so far has been wonderful

BTW) -- http://vegsource.com/marla/colcannon.html. The bread would

go with it, no?

 

I was planning on trying a vegetarian haggis for Burns Day tonight

(Scottish being another part of my heritage), but we're going out to

a lecture and so eating out. If anyone is interested in the recipes

I found (I hadn't decided which one to go with), I'll be glad to post

the links. But you do have to have oats in it or it is too far from

the original to be called haggis. So those of you avoiding oats,

never mind. I seem to be able to eat them.
