Delicious Gluten Free Recipes

By Diana Johnson

This is a book of recipes and suggestions to help those who are gluten intolerant to enjoy their food.

In this book, she has tried to help mothers, chefs, and restaurateurs to understand that even a tiny amount of gluten can upset the health of those, like herself, who ask for no gluten in their food.

She has heard that one in eighty people in New Zealand alone have this problem, so she has set about to help others.

When she dines out and asks for "no gluten, please," she knows that all the nice touches to the meal will be taken away, such as the gravy or sauces or the special breads, so she has included recipes for sauces, butters, and salsa to enhance any barbeque or lunch, breads and cakes, starters and dinners, drinks, and desserts

She has gathered and altered and created these recipes to help others like herself to enjoy food again.

Diana Johnson

Diana Johnson is a mother and grandmother who has spent twenty-five years as manager of three Timeshare Resorts in an exciting New Zealand holiday area, highly prized as a winter ski resort and also a lakeside summer and holiday destination. Most of the units at the resorts sleep eight, and many owners or guests would share their holiday with eight people with the result that the matriarch of the group would leave very stressed at the end of their holiday. Diana understood and wanted to make life less stressful for those great women (or men) who often went skiing or exploring or waterskiing with the family but always had to find that extra energy to cook or prepare food for the hungry group at the end of the day. Diana lives in a beautiful area surrounded by mountains and lakes with extreme temperatures and lovely seasons, from springtime blossoms; hot, dry summers; colorful trees in the autumn, and snowcapped mountains in the winter. She has been collecting, collating, and adapting these recipes over the years and hopes that others will enjoy them too. Diana Johnson is also the author of 'Delicious Gluten Free Recipes which she has collected, collated, adapted and created to help those intolerant to gluten, like herself, to enjoy their food.

TIPS FOR DEALING WITH GLUTEN INTOLERANCE

PREFACE

Those who are gluten-intolerant will know the pain and discomfort that even a tiny amount of gluten can cause.

With damage to the lining of the small intestines caused by the inability to digest gluten, where we absorb the essential nutrients needed for good health, even a tiny amount of gluten can have a bad reaction.

If you are cooking for yourself or others who are gluten intolerant, always remember to check all ingredients to make sure there is no wheat or gluten.

In my recipes, GF means gluten-free, DF means dairy-free, and V means vegetarian which is different from vegan, where no animal products are eaten.
