Going gluten free is hard. It's an overwhelming life change that affects every part of daily life. No matter where you are in your journey, I provide inspiration for gluten free cooks. In this short post I'm sharing four Quotes To Live By.

The less you're reading the better you're eating.
I know you need to learn to read labels, navigate social gatherings and find food you like. On my website I'm offering help for gluten free cooks. Lean into cooking with real food, the food you recognize and doesn't have an ingredient label.
Everything is hard before it's easy.
Learning to bake gluten free, cooking with ingredients you've never used before, trying new techniques; it's all hard when you start. As long as you keep going it will get easier. Pick a quote that speaks to you, repeat it often, and trust the process; it will get easier.
What you don't know, you don't know.
Is potato starch the same as potato flour? (No.) Is tapioca starch the same as tapioca flour? (Yes.) Is cornstarch the same as corn flour? (No, but...in the UK recipes calling for cornflour mean cornstarch for North Americans.) As some would say, you can't make this stuff up. There is simply an enormous amount of new information to learn. Go easy on yourself.
K.I.S.S. - Keep it simple and safe
You can learn to make gluten free sourdough bread, homemade pasta and pizza dough but you don't need to start there. I reworded the old K.I.S.S. acronym for safe gluten free food. At first, the safest place is what you make yourself.
Look for easy recipes and get a taste of success. Keep and open mind and become a taste tester of your own food. Join one of our cooking classes and learn about the gluten free flours, starches and binders you can use.
So whether you came to gluten free as a competent cook, or you're in the kitchen starting from scratch, I hope to inspire you to enjoy cooking and your time in the kitchen. If you have a question reply in the comments or send me an email. I'm always happy to help. Now get cooking!
