    Candied Sweet Potato Mash (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    I’ll admit that I am a sucker for anything sweet potato. In preparation for a gluten-free Thanksgiving cooking class I was teaching, I decided to break out of my usual habit of making one of my favorite sweet potato casseroles in order to create something more colorful, more fresh, more crunchy, more crisp, more the total embodiment of autumn…this might not be all that, but it got my juices flowing, and my class loved the new twist on this old favorite!

    Ingredients:
    2 lbs. (approximately 3 medium) sweet potatoes
    ½ cup brown sugar
    3 tablespoons butter
    3 tablespoons water
    ½ teaspoon salt
    ¼ cup toasted walnuts or pecans
    ¼ cup dried cranberries, raisins or cherries
    1 – 2 chopped, not peeled apples (baking apples like Gala, Fuji or Red Delicious, not tart apples)

    Directions:
    Wash the sweet potatoes and add to a pot with enough salted water to cover the potatoes when they boil. Add the potatoes to the hot water and cover, letting them boil until tender, or about 30 – 35 minutes. (Another option is to pierce the potatoes with a fork and bake in microwave until tender). Let cool, then slip off the skins. Cut into small chunks.

    Mix brown sugar, butter, water and salt in an 8-inch skillet. Cover over medium heat while stirring until bubbly. Add the sweet potato chunks and stir until glazed. Stir in the nuts, berries and chopped apples until well mixed.

    Serve warm.

    This recipe looks scrumptious. I didn't try it before Thanksgiving, but there's no rule that says I can't try it any time I can find good yams!

    Celiac.com 11/17/2008 - One of the great pleasures of the holidays is having a wide assortment of goodies around to enjoy with family and friends.

There are probably more gluten-free people in your local area than you think there are. Put a...

    Celiac.com 01/25/2009 - It’s a brand new year with a brand new vibe.  I’m excited to be launching a new year of education and advocacy on behalf of the gluten-free community, beginning with an upcoming speaking engagement.  On February 10th, I’ll have the opportunity to speak with and hold a gluten-free cooking demonstration for chefs-in-training at the Western Culinary Institute, in Portland, Oregon.  They may be a challenging audience, as I attempt to encourage them to think “outside the box” of more is better when it comes to exotic ingredients.  The trend of the past decade seemed to be “vertical food”, with a sauce, a base, a main ingredient, another sauce, topped by two or three garnishes.  While dishes resembling food-as-art may tickle the taste-buds, they are a minefield for thos...

    Celiac.com 05/20/2013 - A team of researchers recently looked at the influence of various proteins on the quality of gluten-free bread formulas. Specifically, the team looked at the influence of different concentrates or isolates of protein on the structure, properties and aging of gluten-free bread.
    The research team included Rafał Ziobroa, Teresa Witczakb, Lesław Juszczakc, and Jarosław Korusa. They are affiliated with the Department of Carbohydrates Technology, the Department of Engineering and Machinery for Food Industry, and the Department of Analysis and Evaluation of Food Quality, at the University of Agriculture, in Krakow, Poland.
    For their study they made gluten-free breads from dough that included albumin, collagen, pea, lupine or soy protein.
    They then analyzed...
