Listmates,

My Spring 2005 issue of Living Without just arrived.  There are
several things of special interest.

1.  Life Stories:  Bread Head:   The gluten-free market is keeping
this baker busy making dough.  The article is about Lee Tobin who is
the team leader for the Gluten-Free Bakehouse at Whole Foods.  This
is a timely article as Whole Foods is beginning wider distribution of
the GF Bakehouse products.   He has dermatitis herpetiformis (DH).
The article tells about his experience on a GF diet and the
evolution/development of the GF Bakehouse.  His recipe for Irish Soda
Bread is included--in time for St. Patrick's Day.  The recipe is
online at  http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/gf_sodabread.html

2. Sweet Indulgence by Rebecca Reilly.  This article is about
chocolate and focuses on recipes for cakes, puddings, pie, and a
sorbet.  There are a number of useful tips and notes about chocolate.
Rebecca Reilly is the author of Gluten-Free Baking.

3.  Have Your Cake and Eat It, Too, by Karen Robertson.  This article
is subtitled:  Baking without gluten, dairy and eggs, with results
that take the cake. She includes recipes for a yellow and a chocolate
cake, along with recipes for a white and a chocolate frosting.  She
includes Wendy Wark's flour mix and Baking Tips.  Karen Robertson is
the author of Cooking Gluten-Free!  Information about Karen, her
online cooking classes, Wendy Wark's flour mix, and her book are at
http://www.celiac.com/st_main.html?p_catid=70

**The baking tip that deserves special mention is about baking power.
She recommends using Rumford Baking Powder (aluminum free)  if you
are using more than a teaspoon.  "Sometimes baking powder with
aluminum adds a metal flavor to baked goods."  (page 42)  Taste is a
recurring issue in a number of posts about baking GF products.

Other articles of interest to me were about "A Safer Soy," new
dietary guidelines, spring allergies, latex allergy, and sulfite-free
wine.  I have no financial interest in Living Without other than
being a subscriber.
