So the hunt is on - where is the gluten free food? We are lucky in that we have three large supermarkets very close, two within walking distance, one only a 10 minutes drive away. They each have their own brands and the task at the moment is to find the food that you like within the produce. Not easy but it has to be done.
I am living a gluten free life vicariously. I have to say you start to appreciate how much food we eat now a days is prepared for you. I have been used to looking at the calorific values of food for sometime but now I am examining every box for the dreaded word gluten.
So what is the result so far? What are the foods that actually are very tasteful. As with all food this is a personal choice and so should not have any bearing on what you might like. lets take bread. yesterday we tried to make some bread from the ds white bread mix from Tescos. The pack said that it could be used in a bread maker and so we followed the instructions on the pack to the letter. Disaster! After consulting their web site it became clear that the product can be used in a bread maker, but not with the recipe on the back! You have to use a totally different recipe that is only available on their website. Needless to say we will not be using that product again.
Of all the breads we have tested so far the best is the mix Glutafin. I really liked this, much to the annoyance of my wife as this was supposed to be for her! Still the search continues and no doubt there will be further updates.
