Gluten Free Kiss Method of Cooking

By Sandy Koutalis

When cooking gluten-free you must read the fine print on labels. I have compiled this collection of gluten free recipes through trial and error. I have a selection of recipes that are delightful for everybody, from soups such as vegetable soup to chicken Involtini [of good dinner time fare], a creamy yummy baked cheesecake or a simple tasty tuna bake. Yum for the whole family stock.

To James, my husband, the reader of the fine print.

And, Lauren, who always wants to sample!

To Mum, for taking the time to edit, baking tips and being a great sounding board for me.

To change your diet from run-of-the-mill to gluten-free & preservative-free, takes some planning and a lot of reading of the fine print. But you can do it with some new thoughts and ‘thinking outside the box’. You have to be vigilant in reading product labels. I am offering only gluten-free and preservative free recipes. However, these recipes can be adapted to exclude or include, any or all, dietary requirements.

Most supermarkets have a reasonable range of gluten free/preservative free products available - you need to check it out!

make your own mixture.

Mix ½ cup cream of tartar thoroughly mixed into ¼ cup bicarbonate of soda.

Store in a labelled, sealed container [the label prevents confusion of other items such as salt and sugar].

I have made a conscious effort to feed my family 5 vegetables and 2 pieces of fruit each day. Often we exceed the minimum requirement.

Gluten free baking powder [for Baking Powder/Raising Agent see recipe page]

Gluten free bread [using a bread maker is more cost effective!]
