From Our Recipe Books – Gluten Free

Gluten, the protein found in wheat, rye, and barley, is the common denominator in most of the grain-based products we eat, such as cereals, breads, and pasta.

Simple gluten intolerance can be uncomfortable, but the symptoms are fleeting, Bonci says. The good news is that gluten intolerance is not a food allergy, and eating gluten does not usually cause damage – unless you have celiac disease.

If you’re striving to cook “gluten-free”, we hope you’ll find the recipes that we’ll be posting helpful! We’d love to hear your feedback.
