Gluten-Free for the Holidays - Caroline Shannon-Karasik
introduction
When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease and transitioned to a gluten-free diet, it was late in the fall season and the holiday months were fast approaching. Of course, I was enjoying the benefits of my new gluten-free lifestyle, including my healing digestive system, fewer migraines, less joint pain, and more. But there also came a point when I realized I was about to be missing out on one of my favorite parts of the holiday season—baking!
Well, I wasn’t about to let that happen. I quickly began researching gluten-free alternatives for common baking ingredients and got to work. I’m not going to lie; I made a lot of bricks and hockey pucks. Successful gluten-free baking, I realized, was still new territory for many people, and it required a bit more patience in order to figure out how to re-create old favorites.
This guide was created not only to help you navigate gluten-free baking, but also to take the adding, subtracting, and weighing out of the equation for you. Your favorites, like chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and pumpkin pie, are all waiting for you, just beyond these pages.
A few of the recipes also include links to web-based video tutorials that will show you the step-by-step process of creating some of the desserts in this book. All you have to do is follow the link for the inside scoop!
Lastly, it is important to keep this in mind: While I love to experiment with various ingredients, the only absolute we will be dealing with in this book is that everything is gluten-free. Each recipe includes ingredients that are safe for people with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance. While this keeps me from cluttering the page by repeatedly writing gluten-free,
it does require you to do your homework and check with individual manufacturers on their specific policies. I have also included a list of some of my favorites in the back of the guide.
