I'm Jas - an excellent eater and a decent cook but also an author, food photographer, recipe developer, a former anorexic, and current cheesecake addict. Cooking helps me link my Bosnian past to my American present.
The harvest has arrived and the tables are bent over delicious autumn dishes made with seasonal ingredients. When it gets colder, we look forward to cozy, warm meals.
But if you suffer from gluten intolerance, you will enjoy it a little differently in some cases. If you have to go without gluten, you can still cook most of your favorite dishes.
Many associate a gluten-free diet with avoiding everything that tastes particularly good. Some food is "accidentally" gluten-free and enjoyed regardless of dietary restrictions.
Explore the world through food
You don’t need to cook the world all at once. Trying one new recipe a week (or month) will have a huge impact.
With naturally gluten-free foods, enjoying a cozy dinner invitation among friends is possible without great effort and promotes culinary creativity.
"What should I cook today?" Every cook asks himself this question now and then.

Cooking Gluten-Free for Guests
Unfortunately, food allergies and intolerances are increasing steadily. It can not be ruled out that a guest who is affected by celiac may sit in a cozy group at the table.
When inviting, it is best to ask your guests whether they will have to go without certain dishes. So you can adjust the menu accordingly from the start.
It may not even be necessary to buy special ingredients in expensive bulk packs if they are only needed for this one occasion.
Start cooking the world today. Try new foods!
