What are /r/glutenfreecooking's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I'm allergic to gluten & dairy. There are so many options!

• Salads with balsamic vinaigrettes (super quick & easy!)
• GF pasta (I like to toss mine in olive oil and garlic, or tomato sauce)
• Tacos with hard corn shells (use refried beans instead of meat)
• eggs
• Stirfry, with GF soy sauce
• Ratatouille! one of my favourite things to make for sure
• We make chicken fingers pretty often, just chicken strips breaded with GF rice chex and some spices

I'm sure I have lots more, just can't remember them all right now.

It's possible to get it on Amazon, but it's kind of marked up a lot. I used to be able to just get it at Walmart but they quit carrying it.

The spaghetti used to be about $2/pack so there is definitely a pretty big markup on Amazon. I think I remember seeing it on a restaurant supply website but you need to buy in bulk. A little pricey since availability is so limited, but I've tried many other brands and nothing else comes close

I'm in the exact same situation, about a year and a half removed. For a while I put up with a diet lacking baked goods, but eventually I decided enough was enough and bought this: https://www.amazon.com/Gluten-Free-Baking-Culinary-Institute-America/dp/1598696130

That book is amazing, and costs $4 after shipping for a used copy on Amazon. I use it all the time and it was well worth the cost. Additional advice:

Aldi, the grocery chain, has lots of gluten-free items. In particular, their pasta is pretty good, and more important is the cheapest we've found thus far ($1.25/lb).

If you do get the above book and make the flour blends (not as hard as it sounds), try to get the rice flour and tapioca starch from an Asian grocer or even a Woodman's with a good international aisle - since those make up the bulk of the flour blends, it brings the cost down to the point where you never have to worry about messing up a recipe.

the best noodles for this recipe you can buy at Amazon, here is the link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VK8510?ie=UTF8 , but Walmart carries gluten-free noodles as well, but they may be made mostly from corn, not sure if they will taste the same

so i tried this recipe. i had to try 4 times and had to change things too but they eventually came out great.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour
• 1/4 cup flaxseed meal (i took out because it has been known to give tummy problems to cealiacs and my stomach was getting upset-it did taste good though)
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp cream of tartar
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ⅔ cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp butter natural flavor from the spice house -its a vegan butter flavor substitute
• option: 1 tsp pumpkin spice or whatever spice you want
• 1/2 cup milk I used cashew milk
• 3 tbs aquafaba (chickpea water)

​

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 400º.
• Spray your donut pans with cooking spray. (i have the rubbery pans)
• In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, flour through sugar.  fluff and mix with a fork.
• Make a well in the center of dry ingredients and pour in the vanilla, butter flavor, and milk. Mix gently.
• In a seperate bowl, whisk the aquafaba. You want it to look like whisked egg whites-not marangue. 
• Add aquafava to mixture gently and fold in with spatula
• Transfer mixture to a Ziploc bag and cut the corner tip off. This makes it easy to pipe into the donut pan. (i ended up not doing this. meh)
• Fill each well 3/4 full 
• Cook for about 20 to 40 minutes. May need more as I'm still working out this detail. so keep an eye on them. the outside should not be soft when touched or indent. you want a crispy outside without of course burning.  My last batch was at 425 for 20 minutes, but i didnt like the browning. they did taste great though
• Allow to cool completely on a rack.
• get in tupperware or ziplock bag as soon as cooled.

Let me make your day a little brighter. Cheese power that’s just like Kraft. https://www.amazon.com/Cheddar-Cheese-Hoosier-Hill-Farm/dp/B008GG9ZS8/ref=zg_bs_15197501011_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=276TNTAH25HB57XA6FF6

Hi everyone! My name is Mihai, and I am an Android developer.

Years ago, by blind luck, I’ve discovered that my horrible anxiety and brain-fog were caused by a few ingredients and allergens in the food I was eating.

The process of discovering exactly what was causing my suffering was a long and arduous one. It consisted of me going through an elimination diet, where I slowly re-introduced individual foods, and manually kept track of all their ingredients. This took me several months before I had a rough idea of what were my triggers.

Being a developer, I’ve decided to make it easier for other people that find themselves in my position, and hopefully save them a few months of effort. This is how I came up with the idea for MoodBites - a Food Journal that’s built with finding Trigger Foods in mind.

The app has been in development for a few years now, but I’ve finally decided to take the leap and work on it full-time. I am planning to add a lot of new features that I think you’ll love - I’m currently working on a scanner feature that tells you how well you’d tolerate a food, based on your own, personalised data. This way, you don’t have to spend time in the grocery store, worrying whether the biscuits you’ve bought would make you sick for the next 5-7 days.

Anyways, here’s the download link. It’s currently only available on Android, but I am thinking of ways of porting it to iOS as well. Let me know what you think!

It’s possible they are intolerant to American wheat. Try buying caputo flour and use it without fermentation to test out this hypothesis.

You can also try gluten digestive enzymes as well.

I just adapt regular recipes but this book might help https://www.amazon.com/You-Still-Wont-Believe-Gluten-Free-ebook/dp/B00CGNPPB8

But for someone with gluten issues you need to check with the individual's comfort level. I bane of celiac is being offered "gluten-free" food produced in kitchens that are not celiac-safe and having to find someone to regift it to.

I purchased this book last week. Literally made the dough an hour ago so can’t tell you how the results are but it seems promising

Not exactly pirouettes but similar texture and taste are coconut rolls... I’ve never tried this flavor but the original is sooo good.

This is the brand I use. It’s the best GF pasta I could find so far. I don’t buy the off of Amazon. I buy them from Whole Foods. Jovial Organic Brown Rice Capellini, 12-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0041QCZK2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_4NlmFbAR185ZT

That sucks. I found sea salt ones on Amazon. Raaka Chocolate Pink Sea Salt Dark Chocolate 71% cacao (1.8oz Bar - 3 Pack), Organic, Non-GMO, Kosher Premium Craft Chocolate, Vegan, Gluten and Soy Free, Bittersweet, Bean-to-Bar Dark Chocolate https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077ZDW82N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_N2DjFbBF663PX

not dairy free, but easy to make substitutions and it is gluten free. recipes have tasted great.

Not sure about homemade pasta, but this is by far the best pre-packaged GF pasta you can buy.

Chebe has fantastic box mixes, imo. I love their focaccia mix, and I grabbed a cinnamon roll box recently. I'm waiting til I have the energy to make it lol https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001ACPPXE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_VZH3CbGVEAP3G

I have this adorable little book...I'm generally too lazy to make anything fussy (it would be different if I was feeding a group), but what I've made has been good: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004CFAWSY/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

I've tried them all, and for me, this one tastes best.

I also use this thing over a pizza stone to make them.

I've never tried making GF pasta from scratch, but I've tried several products made from different flour blends and this is by far the closest to the real thing in terms of flavor and texture

Heartland GF Spaghetti

It could be a good guide for ingredients if you are wanting to make it from scratch.

I saw someone mention this baking cookbook on here a couple weeks back. I had stopped baking because I don't like the results from GF mixes and it seemed too daunting to mess around with flours and starches and gums. But this book makes baking fairly simple and straightforward, with each recipe calling for only one or two types of flour, and only a few requiring xantham gum. I made the oat flour sponge cake and the buckwheat flour soufflés and they were both fantastic.

It's this one - I've seen it recommended before, so I figured it was a good bet :) Even has a few gluten free bread recipes that come in the instruction book. Thanks! I've done some loaves in the oven and have been disappointed thus far. I was cautiously optimistic with the machine, but now I'm ready to do some more experiments! It's SO much better than store bought gf bread.

I've bookmarked that recipe to try out! Have you tried substituting water or alternative milk in it? I would think it would be fine, but curious.

Perhaps this rice milk powder might work. I might need to do some research and try it out!

I just found coconut milk powder that may work a little better to add the richness factor. Perhaps this would work a little better than rice milk powder! I imagine it may add a bit of nuttiness, though.

http://smile.amazon.com/Pamelas-Ultimate-Baking-Pancake-4-Pound/dp/B000NMJWZO/ref=sr_1_1 <==That stuff! I use it as a flour sub in recipes that just need small amount of flour. The pancakes and biscuits are great, and I made scone/shortbread things to eat with strawberries and creme that were yummy. Also, I use it to make biquick like dumplings. Basically like GF bisquick but better than their version. I like it enough and use it enough that I quit doing to drug dealer mixing white powders with a scale versions of gf flour magic recipes.
