| GLUTEN FREE RECIPES
FOOD ALLERGIES


In your wedding invitations be sure to add a food allergy request


by Joyce Barslow
Years ago, food manufacturers and restaurants barely acknowledged the gluten-free diet. There are millions of people in North American living with a form of gluten intolerance called celiac disease who prepare their meals without gluten, a protein found in wheat. Today, the gluten-free diet is recognized by the medical community and the general public.

Cookbook for Gluten-free Recipes
Planning a miniature chocolate groom’s cake that she could eat at her son’s wedding was no problem for Carol Fenster, shown left with pastry chef, one of the world’s most respected authorities on gluten-free cooking. She used a basic chocolate cake recipe from her cookbook, Cooking Free.

GROOM’S CAKE

½ cup milk (cow, rice, soy)
½ cup butter or margarine**
1 large egg
¾ cup warm (110ºF) coffee or water

Grease pans and line with waxed paper or parchment paper; then grease again for easier cake removal
