From Publishers Weekly
Even devoted low-carb dieters have it easy compared to those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, who have no choice in giving up many foods. Ryberg (The Gluten-Free Kitchen) aims to make their sacrifices easier by recreating favorite dishes, from fried chicken to lemon pound cake, with alternative ingredients. For every meal and course, she offers a wide range of crowd-pleasing recipes (mini meat loaves; Caesar salad); those that are normally gluten-heavy get several versions using different flours for different effects. The first chapter discusses stocking the gluten-free kitchen and converting recipes, and helpful notes about preparation accompany many recipes, but her extensive experience doesn’t always translate to the page, particularly with baked goods, which are the trickiest to make. Though she provides extra details about baking, there is still not enough guidance about what to expect with these unusual batters and doughs, and the results may not live up to her claims. Fortunately, her constant enthusiasm and encouragement will keep people trying, and the growing gluten-free community will be thrilled to have this massive resource of ideas for making their meals more enjoyable.

I thought it would be helpful to go over it again since holiday cooking is often hectic and very busy and sometimes things get mixed up. So to review from past posts: Use paper towels, designate butter, label your items, and Dedicate a toaster!

Here are a few products that could help this process. First is a Farberware 3-Piece Poly Cutting Board Set

These can take the place of paper towels and can serve as space for Gluten Free items. It will be a lot easier to locate these items if they are on something different than everything else. * Also check out the spatula sets on Amazon. Using different colors can be important for recognition*

Another great product will be the Farberware Enhanced 10-Piece Nonstick Cookware Set This will give you or the Gluten Free person in your family their own set dedicated for them and it is a great set!

These products make great gifts but they are also to have around the house for this time of the year!
