Gluten Free Cooking
Gluten free cooking is just one of the many dietary restrictions which Cook’s encounter these days. Food induced dietary issues are commonplace and at one family gathering there can seem to be several food intollerances to cater for. Gluten most commonly occurs in flour based products, such as breads and cakes, and also is used to bind other products in recipes and often appears in sauces or coatings to pre-purchased products.
People with gluten intollerance find that microscopic amounts of gluten can cause an upset to their system. This means that the Cook has to be very disciplined in the preparation of foods and avoid cross contamination of one food item by another. This is not an option, and should not be treated as a chore, gluten should be treated as toxic and as a poison to those with coeliac condition and they will rely on the chief to take great care in the preparation of their food.
At first you may perceive that gluten free cooking is quite restrictive and produces a meal which tastes like cardboard. This is far from the truth and with a little familiarity and practice you will find that gluten free cooking results in a healthy, nutritious meal which everyone in the family can enjoy.
Additionally, most restaurants these days have become aware of the requirements for gluten-free cooking and also financially aware of the benefits of catering for the needs of a large percentage of the community. Gluten free options are frequently quoted on menus and the restaurant chef in most cases is very happy to make minor adjustments to selected meals to ensure that they are gluten free.
With a little imagination and practice you will find that gluten free cooking starts to produce meals which are actually more nutritious than the normal dietary fare that you have being presenting to your family. This is because you are forced to reconsider the ingredients and how they are made rather than cooking on autopilot.
Gluten-free recipes abound on the Internet these days and hence there is no reason why gluten-free cooking should be a problem, treat it as an opportunity to reinvigorate your meal times and set the family off on a healthy gluten free diet.
