Two More Celiac-Related Websites

Jun 8th, 2009 Posted in Gluten Free Food, celiac shopping, gluten free diet | Comments Off

Celiac SnacksLast weekend we put the finishing touches on two new websites designed for people with celiac disease. Celiac Snacks is all about gluten free snack food items and nothing more. Snacks can be an especially challenging food category for people forced to follow a gluten free diet. Celiac Snacks is designed to help. You'll find pages with information about various types of gluten free treats, and the entire site was designed by a person with celiac disease (that's me!).

Our other new website is Gluten Free Pastas. Gluten Free Pastas It is devoted exclusively to information about the various brands of gluten free pasta, with information about the most popular brands and the companies behind them. There is a page about each of the largest manufacturers of gluten free pasta, with information about ingredients used which might be very useful if you have other dietary restrictions in addition to avoiding gluten. Visit Gluten Free Pastas to learn more.

Gluten Free Curry

Jun 4th, 2009 Posted in Gluten Free Food, celiac shopping, gluten free diet | Comments Off

Having visited Britain several times, even staying at the home of a British/Sri Lankan couple once, I've been introduced to the concept of Curry. Virtually anything can be curried, it is the process of cooking food in the traditional Indian style, especially with certain specific spices. Usually the set of spices used in making a curry will include coriander, lemon grass, chiles, cumin, turmeric and more. Turmeric often provides the nearly fluorescent bright yellow color often associated with curry dishes.

Things to watch out for, if you are on a gluten free diet, include flour sometimes found in cheap brands of curry powder, and soy sauce, which as you know usually contains wheat.

I love to cook curries at home and often make curried cauliflower or Aloo Gobi which is a dish based on cauliflower and potatoes. You can also buy various brands of curry mixes and ready to heat curry sauces or dishes online, as the popularity of curry continues to grow in the United States.

Here are the best deals we could find on gluten free curry products.
