lol,:D Please do share it. I love to try new recipes. You'll have to try mine once too.

I've never used Spelt. I have been experimenting with flours that do not contain the protein gluten. Spelt is in the same category as wheat, barley, and rye in that it contains gluten. If you try Spelt, let me know how it works and tastes.

Do you have any recipes that use rice or rice flour? My sister has some friends who are allergic to any sort of grain or grain product (as well as milk or anything made with milk, etc.) I don't think the human body is designed to live off fruit alone.

There are several books that have recipes that use flours from roots and beans, like potato, tapioca, gabanzo beans, etc. as well as rice flour. The types and purposes of flours are defined. The recipes can be adjusted for particular allergies like corn, milk, eggs, soy... Recipes for appetizers, breakfast, main dishes, pastas, breads, desserts,...

This type of cooking seems difficult because the ingredients are unusual. Once the ingredients are purchased (Look on-line, health food store, Asian market, and places listed in books), organized, and the cooking begins, it becomes easier to put it all together.

Hmm. I wasn't sure if spelt was in the gluten category or not.

I have some good rice recipes, though none are for bread.

I love the honey oat bread that they have at subway restaurants. Is this bread similiar in taste? could you just add some oats to this recipe? what size bread pans do you use for this recipe? could you make this bread in a bread machine? I have never made bread myself,but i am interested in trying especially if is better for you health any tips or pointers would be great plus any good recipes. i have really enjoyed reading all of your postes. thanks!

I WILL CHECK OUT THESE BOOKS AND THE WEBSITE. I WILL GIVE IT A GOOD TRY, I HOPE I AM SUCCESSFUL I WILL POST AGIAN TO LET YOU KNOW THE RESULTS. HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE GOOD!

Thank you for the information. Maybe I'll try the tomato basil bread. I'll purchase a video and pass it on to my daughter.

Regina, are your gluten free loaves and buns from the gluten free gourmet? I'm also gluten free and I'm always looking for new recipes. Thanks.
