There are the LJ communities celiac and glutenfreefoods. Also, King Arthur Flour (http://www.kingarthurflour.com) has several excellent baking mixes and a gluten-free cookbook that are designed to be safe for people with celiac disease.

Look on the glutafin website, as they have all of the infoprmation. I use that site a lot as I was diagnosed about 4 years ago. Feel free to PM me if you want.

this one is really good too imo http://glutenfreefix.com/

I have a friend who's gone gluten-free (not celiac, but stopped her issues) and she tried a Betty Crocker GF cake mix and was pleased with it. Although, I don't know if you have Betty Crocker in Ireland...

She's also made some things from The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten-Free (she REALLY loved the Lemon Chiffon Cake).

I haven't tried a lot of GF recipes, but have come across some GF food/recipe blogs:

http://glutenfreegirl.com
shoot, I thought I had more...

I haven't tried any of these, but they sound delicious!

Pinterest is also another huge resource.

My friend has said that you can pretty much just replace any regular flour with a GF flour/baking mix - Bob's Red Mill, Pamela's Products... Be prepared, if you aren't already, this stuff is more expensive.

If you find a recipe, you may want to run the ingredients by her to make sure there's nothing that will cause any problems for her.

Good luck! =)

Not a problem! =) There really are a ton of GF resources and recipes out there. I never thought there were as many as I've seen (which is tip of the iceberg, I'm sure). I'm sorry your friend is down about it, which is normal and understandable, but she really doesn't have to give up everything she may love that has gluten. It will just be a process learning what substitutions to make.

I pin GF recipes I come across (that somewhat appeal to the non-GF me at least...LOL), here's my GF pinterest board: http://pinterest.com/jennayem/for-the-gluten-free/

I recently made this recipe:
http://gardenofeatingblog.blogspot.com/2008/12/quinoa-spinach-gratin-hearty-comfort.html

It is gluten free and even my husband who turns his nose up at anything he deems unusual (in this case quinoa) loved it. It isn't a cake or even a dessert but your friend might still appreciate it.

You may want to check re cross contamination - I have a friend who can't even use the same dishes and pans. :)

Haha hey you! :)

I've got a copy of Red Velvet Chocolate Heartache by Harry Eastwood. She suggests using rice flour in her cakes, and each one has a proportion of veg in them with ground almond which replaces the butter. I've done a quick search, and this blog post has a recipe of hers to give you some idea. I've made a couple, and they're fab.

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend.

This is a website from the celiac.com and has a lot of recipes as well as other information.

Glutenfreely is also a great place to look for recipes as well as drinks and so on.

I hope these help.

I have a friend who with gluten issues, and I've found the best bet is to just cook things that don't have wheat in them to begin with. (Not that that will replace everything, just a general guideline. Chocolate mousse is a real crowd pleaser, even if you didn't bake it).

Another easy work around is the 'cookie crust'. Some recipes, particularly cheesecakes, have no wheat in them, except for the cookie crust. If you can find gluten-free cookies to make the crust with, abracadabra! Gluten Free! (I have had good luck with Trader Joe's gluten free ginger snaps used in this manner, but only if you want that gingery kick).

Also, there are sometimes almond-based cakes that have no flour in them. Or occaisionally I have come across recipes where they only want flour to 'grease and flour' the pan. If it's a chocolate cake, you could always 'grease and cocoa' the pan, but I have not yet found a good replacement for flour in 'de-stickifying' pans. If anyone else knows a tip, let me know, because again, many nut and cheese-based cakes that are otherwise wheat free other than the 'grease and flour'.

Posted this one on our Facebook page and got this link in reply: http://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/

It was labelled as spam by Facebook, but I can't see anything malicious about it.

i would reccommend not to buy ready-to-use gluten-free mixes for baking but prepare by yourself.It much more amazing!
You had to buy buckwheat, rice, kinoa, tapioka, rye, etc . gluten-free flours, "binders" - as xanthan and guar gums- and you can create a wide assortment of your own baked goodies.

My mom was diagnosed with this same problem the middle of last year. She ended up attending a baking workshop run by a french trained Pastry chef who had developed it. The chef had to create several new recipes and from those recipes she published a book. It's titled the "Blackbird Bakery Gluten-Free: 75 Recipes for Irresistible Gluten-Free Desserts and Pastries"

Here is the Amazon link http://www.amazon.com/Blackbird-Bakery-Gluten-Free-Irresistible-Desserts/dp/0811873315/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1337160029&sr=1-1

Mom has tried a few of the recipes and loves them.

Best of Luck to your friend.
