Updated (4/19/08): You can also try a variation of this cookies recipe here.

This recipe is taken from Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Comfort Foods. My husband absolutely loves this cake! It’s very light and spongy. I actually like it myself too.

Here’s a list [...]

Since we live in China, we have limited access to organic and specialty stores that carry gluten-free products. People in China are just not very sensitive to people [...]

Gluten-free flour mix is probably one of the most important mix for gluten-free baking. Since most pastries and baked goods require the use of wheat flour, people who are allergic to gluten cannot enjoy 99% of all the baked goods out there.
Below is the formula for gluten-free flour mix.
Ingredients:
2 cups brown rice flour
2/3 cup potato [...]

I bought this book last summer from Amazon.com because I was running out of ideas for gluten-free cooking. A lot of gluten-free recipes use ingredients that can only be found in specialty stores like Trader Joe’s and Whole Food. Since I live in China and do not have access to specialty stores, I needed a [...]
