Reddit reviews Artisanal Gluten-Free Cooking: 275 Great-Tasting, From-Scratch Recipes from Around the World, Perfect for Every Meal and for Anyone on a Gluten-Free Diet―and Even Those Who Aren't

Have you ever used the Artisinal Gluten Free Cooking book? The flour blend is somewhat pricey(who knew potato flour could cost so much?) but it makes some killer scones and beignets. I find that a lot of GF products are also egg free or dairy free which robs them a bit of that wonderful flavor, these are not.

The best flour blend I've found is from the cookbook Artisanal Gluten-Free Cooking. You have to mix it yourself (it's a blend of brown rice flour, sorghum flour, cornstarch, potato starch and potato flour), but it's worth it. I use it in all kinds of recipes and it's never failed.

So sorry for the delay! Slow cooker tilapia:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
  
• 1 medium onion, diced
  
• 1.5 cups diced tomatoes or one 14.5oz can diced tomatoes
  
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
  
• juice of 1 lemon (about 0.25 cup)
  
• 2 garlic cloves, minced (I always double this if not more :) )
  
• 1 small red chile, seeded and minced (I've used different chiles with similar tastiness)
  
• 0.25 tsp ground ginger
  
• 0.25 tsp curry powder
  
• 0.25 tsp ground turmeric
  
• salt and pepper
  
• 2 lbs tilapia
  
  

1. Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent.
   
2. Transfer the onion to a slow cooker and add the tomatoes, broth, lemon juice, garlic, chile, ginger, curry powder, turmeric and salt and pepper. Stir and cover. Cook on high for 90 minutes.
   
3. Add the fish to the sauce and turn the slow cooker to low. Cover and cook for 45 to 60 minutes, until the fish is flakey and cooked through.
   
   This recipe is from a book my mom got me called Artisinal Gluten Free Cooking. Enjoy !

I have been having amazing results with the flour blend in this book:

It's kind of expensive and a pain to start up with, but once you get all the different flours it's not so expensive to just buy the ones that run out. The blend has a different amount of each kind of flour, so they don't all run out at the same time. I think it's 6 different kinds of GF flour blended.

I as well have gluten sensitivity and PCOS. I don't see any help or relief of the symptoms. (If you do, that's great and I'll be super jealous!)

As for advice, it's not that terribly restrictive of a diet.

I don't like to buy marketed gluten free products. They're expensive and sometimes don't taste that great (Glutino is a fine example). If you need to, or want to, I suggest Annie's products (http://www.annies.com/). Everything I have had tastes great. Is pricey, but a nice alternative when I don't feel like making things from scratch.

Salads are a great option, just be careful, a lot of salad dressing use gluten as a thickening agent.

Lettuce is your best friend. It's a great alternative for bread. Burger lettuce wraps are delicious!! Anything you sandwich between bread tastes great wrapped in lettuce.

Eating out is sometimes a bit of a challenge. Don't be afraid to ask to have something wrapped in lettuce, or served in a different way without flour. A lot of places are understanding, and even incorporating gluten free options into their menus.

Xanthan gum will be your best friend in baking. Gluten free baking often comes out flat and stodgy, but xanthan gum helps your goods rise and be fluffy just like gluten!
This is a really great gluten free cookbook. It has an awesome flour blend that has nice results. I highly recommend you get your hands on it. All the recipes are sooo delicious.
