Simply Gluten-Free

I’ve finally found a decent gluten-free bread recipe that I can find most of the ingredients at the local Carrefour supermarket here in Shanghai, China. One of the most difficult things about eating gluten-free, as I’ve mentioned in the previous post, is finding all the ingredients for gluten-free recipes.
I created a page of [...]

I bought a bunch of gluten-free recipe books from the U.S. last year, but haven’t had much time to experiment. This month with our ahyi back home in Sichuan, I’ve been spending more time in the kitchen. One frustrating aspect of cooking/baking gluten-free in China is not being able find the right ingredients.

There aren’t that many recipes that is completely Jason-friendly, meaning recipes using ingredients that Jason can eat. I went through the recipes to mark the ones that Jason can eat.

It seems as if all the mayonnaise sold in Shanghai/China are the sweetened kind packaged in plastic squeeze bottles. Kewpie seems to be a popular brand but whatever happened to regular plain mayonnaise sold in a jar without [...]

The other day, a friend shared about his experience making coconut macaroons and how simple they are to make.

A few weeks ago, I posted a flourless cookies recipe. This is one of my favorite recipes and I make the cookies almost every week. I use Skippy peanut butter and the cookie dough is a bit on the greasy side but the cookies turn out really good. I’ve been experimenting with this recipe to [...]

I tried this recipe for the first time last night. The cake turned out pretty good although the process of making it was a bit tricky. I haven’t quite mastered the art of using xanthan gum yet. I can’t figure out whether it’s the brand I’m using (Bob’s Red Mill) or what, but every time [...]
