Gluten-Free, Deliciously! Party Food Recipes
()
About this ebook
Parties and other social events can be a real challenge for people who are sensitive to gluten. It doesn't matter if you're outgoing or shy, everyone enjoys interacting with others. Plus, most jobs involve some kind of social activity outside the workplace. But for people who are very gluten-sensitive, these events can be a minefield—either because of the fear of getting "glutened", or because no-one wants to seem unsociable and cause offense by avoiding events that involve food.
So, we spent a good deal of time in our kitchen creating party appetizer and dessert recipes that would be gluten-free, delicious, and fun for everyone. Many appetizers and desserts involve wheat flour, but we came up with a wide range of gluten-free alternatives, where you won't have to compromise in taste, texture, or visual appeal.
Gluten-Free, Deliciously! Party Food Recipes are easy to follow, include cuisines from around the world, and have been taste-tested by celiac and non-celiac family and friends. Examples of some of the recipes are:
Crab Salad Boats - Mini Ham & Mushroom Frittatas - Chicken Satay - Chocolate Éclairs - Coffee Walnut Gateau
Gluten-Free, Deliciously! Party Food Recipes includes chapters discussing gluten food safety issues, tips for planning a party, and more! We’re sure your next event will be a great success!
Gillian Olins
Recipes in the "Gluten-Free, Deliciously!" cookbook series grew out of a lifelong interest in good health and good food. Gillian Olins and her husband, Peter, have spent most of their careers developing novel therapies for diseases in fields including autoimmunity, allergy, cancer, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular diseases. Gillian was born in New York, but spent much of her childhood in the U.K., where she and Peter both earned their PhDs in biochemistry. Since then, they have made their home in the U.S. and currently live in Fort Collins, Colorado, which gives them access to all the outdoor opportunities that come from living right next to the Rocky Mountains. In 2010, they developed a keen interest in the field of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity which was sparked by family members diagnosed with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or wheat allergy. After reviewing much of the information on these topics readily available on the Internet and other media, they realized that much of it was of poor quality, or even wrong. So, they decided to create the website, Ultimate Gluten Free (http://ultimateglutenfree.com), which launched in February 2011. The site provides carefully researched information about gluten-related health issues, useful resources, a calendar of events, plus a nationwide database of restaurants and other businesses that serve the gluten-free community. In many ways, biochemistry is rather like cooking, and Gillian and Peter are avid cooks. Most of the meals they prepare at home are reliable family recipes, but occasionally they will experiment with something more adventurous. The recipes in their “Gluten-Free, Deliciously!” book series are clearly written, easy to follow, and have become favorites with many of their family members and friends.

Who Should Buy This Book?
Parties and other social events can be a real challenge for people who are sensitive to gluten. It doesn't matter if you're outgoing or shy, everyone enjoys interacting with others. Plus, most jobs involve some kind of social activity outside the workplace. But for people who are very gluten-sensitive, these events can be a minefield—either because of the fear of getting glutened
, or because no-one wants to seem unsociable and cause offense by avoiding events that involve food.
So, we spent a good deal of time in our kitchen creating party appetizer and dessert recipes that would be gluten-free, delicious, and fun for everyone. Many appetizers and desserts involve wheat flour, but we came up with a wide range of gluten-free alternatives, where you won't have to compromise in taste, texture, or visual appeal.
We designed this cookbook for three kinds of people:
* People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity
* Party hosts who want to provide gluten-free appetizers and desserts that will be enjoyable for everyone
* People who are curious about gluten-free food, and would like to try a few appetizer and dessert recipes
If any of these apply to you, then this cookbook is for you! In addition to gluten-free recipes, we also offer some tips
