I thought I would add my 2cents worth on this subject. Getting along just
great at my house for the last 6 years with CD, I have converted to using
corn starch and rice flour almost exclusively in my cooking. When I started
out, I read all the recipes and bought lots of tapioca flour, potato flour,
potato starch, sweet rice flour, bean flour, .....
Finally, I have decided for myself, that cooking is simpler with fewer
flours. I bought my own flour mill and mill rice flour about once every 2
months. Then I buy corn starch in the regular grocery store. Almost every
recipe in the GF cook books works well with these two inexpense and easily
obtainable materials. I use the corn starch any time the recipe calls for a
starchy substance such as tapioca or potato. I get very good results with
minimal effort. I think the greatest win is using my own mill on the rice
which gives a much finer flour than you can buy in the store. I never notice
grittiness.
Just my 2 cents, from a lazy but good cook.
