A World of Flavor - Amber Barrett
INTRODUCTION
Fantastic gluten-free recipes—no apologies needed!
Do you, or someone in your family, have Celiac or gluten intolerance? Are you tired of making two separate meals because the gluten-free food you serve just isn’t something the rest of the family would choose to eat? Are you tired of being disappointed by the recipes you have followed from gluten-free cookbooks? Do you want to serve delicious meals, snacks, breads, and desserts that your family and guests will enjoy and not even guess that what they are eating is gluten-free?
If so, this book is for you. It is filled with wonderfully tasty recipes, from appetizers to main dishes to desserts. Some are quick and easy for your weekday meals, and others are the recipes that you will use for special occasions, when you really want to impress your family and guests.
Living the gluten-free lifestyle can be a challenge, especially when eating in a restaurant, where cross contamination is so prevalent. If you are fortunate enough to find a restaurant where they really understand gluten and take care to avoid cross contamination, you probably frequent that restaurant often, but still eat most of your meals at home. The impetus for this cookbook was the fact that we really did need to cook more at home, and needed some great recipes to spice up the game.
We are a mother-daughter team, both living with gluten intolerance, and we believe that taste and consistency should not have to suffer when creating gluten-free dishes. We have struggled through the initial fear and frustration of going gluten free, and worked hard to create the dishes in this cookbook that you can be proud to serve. We firmly believe that you should not have to apologize for taste or texture when you serve a gluten-free dish to friends or family members.
So, please enjoy the recipes and feel confident that you can serve them to your friends and family, without apology.
MEET the PHOTOGRAPHER
My entire life I have had a passion for storytelling. Once I picked up a camera and discovered the power of visual storytelling
I was hooked. Photography has the uncanny ability to illicit emotion through composition, color, and lighting; and the result is truly magic. For this cookbook I have spent hundreds of hours locating the props used in the pictures, such as vintage tools and salvaged wood. Many of the props featured in this cookbook are very old, starting around 1650 and working up to around 1960. The vintage sign photographs featured in the cookbook were shot in Richmond, Virginia. I hope you will enjoy the pictures in the cookbook as much as I have enjoyed shooting them. For food photography inquiries or to collaborate on a project, I can be reached through our email at thewhiskandthespoon@gmail.com .

THANKS – MERCI – DANKE – GRACIAS – GRAZZI – DHANYAVAAD – OBRIGADA – DO JEH – SHUKRAN
Anote from Amber: I would like to thank my wonderful family for all of their encouragement during the development of this project and their help along the way. To my mom for allowing her garage to become my food photography prop storage area. Finally, to everyone with a food allergy who has been told, a little taste won’t hurt you,
this is for you.
Amber
This cookbook project could not have been accomplished without the support and encouragement from my incredible family, some of whom are no longer with us to see the completed task. My loving mom and dad instilled in me a strong work ethic and the belief that I could accomplish anything through perseverance and hard work; my late husband, Phil, inspired us all to think creatively and take risks; and my dear brothers, Bob and John, helped me hone my culinary skills by explaining the science behind the recipes. This cookbook is dedicated to all of you.
Thanks to my friends who were supportive throughout this endeavor, and especially those who gave constructive feedback on various dishes. Most of all, thanks to my fantastic kids. Amber, you kept me motivated and brought new and exciting ideas that turned this project from a cookbook into an amazing culinary photo journey. Your talent amazes me. And Chris, I really don’t know how I could have kept going on this project without your encouragement, sense of humor, technical skills and your artistic creativity. You helped us more than you can imagine.

GOING GLUTEN FREE
We will spare you the discussion about what gluten is and the varying types of reactions that those with gluten intolerance and Celiac Disease experience. Suffice it to say that the reactions are not pleasant, and can have some serious medical consequences. The sad truth is that many folks who do not have intolerance to gluten don’t really understand the seriousness of the problem. Some of those may be family members or friends. You know, they are the ones who urge you to just take a little bite—it won’t hurt you.
We who live with gluten intolerance or Celiac Disease know that even the tiniest bite can, indeed, hurt you.
Here are some tips that can help you if you are just beginning this journey into gluten-free living.
Read the Labels
Our trips to the grocery store used to be quick—grab the items on the list and get out of there. Then came gluten intolerance, and now grocery shopping takes at least twice as long because you really do have to read the labels on just about everything. There are some brands that we have come to trust, but we still often find prepared items that are labeled gluten free but actually contain barley or malt, which contain gluten and cause severe reactions for most people with gluten intolerance. Items that contain gluten include barley, beer (unless specifically labeled gluten free), bran, brewer’s yeast, bulgur, cereal unless labeled gluten free, couscous, durum, einkorn, emmer, graham, gravies and sauces, groats, hydrolyzed wheat protein, imitation seafood, kamut, malt vinegar, malt (including flavoring and extract), matzo, orzo, pretzels, rye, seitan, semolina, spelt, tabbouleh, and of course wheat. There are many other prepared items that may contain gluten, including: flavorings, nondairy creamer, all sorts of salad dressings, broths (vegetable, chicken and beef), soy sauce, marinades, and mustards. Many seasoning blends that are used in restaurants contain gluten. Yes, the list of items to avoid is lengthy, and although the task can seem daunting, you must be vigilant to avoid the hidden gluten. Take heart, it will become easier, and as you find items that you can trust, you will automatically gravitate to them.
Gluten-Free Pantry
Your gluten-free pantry will look a lot different than your ‘glutinous’ pantry, especially in the flours and grains that you use. A cautionary note: if your kitchen is not totally gluten free (you still cook and bake normally for some of your family), you must be very careful to avoid cross contamination. One hint is to store the gluten-free flours and grains on a separate shelf. It is advisable
