<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> 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. Betsy Austin, Texas *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the Celiac List*
