gluten-free Girl And The Chef-Cookbook

I bought Gluten-free Girl and the Chef from Amazon on a gift card. This is mainly a chef's-secrets-main-course cookbook. If you like to use ingredients that chefs already have on hand and want to stock your pantry with them, you'd love this book. Not many breads or desserts. Uses cilantro a lot and other things that I have a reaction to, but probably not gluten related.

Anyhoo, I'm going to admit my mistake by not previewing at a bookstore b4 ordering from Amazon. There were only three recipes in there that I thought I'd ever possibly try. There are lots of chef's tips that more advanced cooks than myself would find helpful, I would think.

Anyone else get one? I would love to hear what you think.

I ran right out and bought it when my daughter's blood test came back positive. Then, I actually looked inside. While it looks like it has very tasty recipes, it didn't seem there was much I would make for regular family cooking.

I put it aside, wrapped it pretty paper, and gave it to my foodie mom for Christmas. It was part of a "Welcome to our new world" present that also included a cookie jar full of delicious homemade gluten-free cookies. She loved the book, so it will get good use after all.

I love the Gluten Free Girl's website, have met her in person twice and taken a gluten-free cooking class from her and her hubby - the Chef. I bought her first book but won't buy the new one for the reason that you note. I'm a very creative cook but short on time and money so I just don't have time to do some of her intensive recipies.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Possibly, but there used to be a movement within the celiac disease community to just tell restaurants that you have a deadly wheat/gluten allergy to, hopefully anyway, ensure that your meal is actually gluten-free. I don't recommend this approach at all, and if I ran a restaurant where there was ANY risk of cross-contamination, I'm afraid that I would decline to server someone who made this claim. No restaurant owner wants anyone dying or going to the emergency room at their business.

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You mention that you are waiting on your test results--did they do a celiac blood panel? If so, were you eat lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to the test? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Possible (Non)-celiac gluten sensitivity(?)

      If you suspect celiac disease a blood panel for it would be the best option. This article might be helpful.

      Your only resort would seem to be directly contacting the manufacturer and ask some pointed questions about CC . . . and hope you get some straight answers. You are probably already aware of this but the label "Gluten Free" does not necessarily equate to zero gluten. "Gluten Free" is a standard established by the FDA whereby a product can use that label as long as it does not contain an amount of gluten exceeding 20 ppm. There is also "Certified Gluten Free" which is a third party certifying standard signifying that the product does not exceed 10 ppm. There are limits to detection technology much below that.
