My mate Dee Coleman has launched a great recipe share site which has some good gluten-free ideas. You should check it out. (Also check out the link below to gluten-free breakfast joints…and add some of your own in the comments. We’ll get a guide going….)
Two things I like about Cook My Way
1.the recipes only call for a couple of ingredients and are listed loosely (in handfuls, splashes)
2.the culture of the site is very cute – Dee invites a few people over to her house every Monday and cooks up a big meal which they eat while brainstorming ideas for the site.
Dee’s website is for everyone to post and share their recipes. Here’s some gluten free ones.
Gluten-free seeded bread
3 cups of gluten-free flour
1 tspn bicarb soda
1 tspn salt
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup poppy seeds
600 mls butter milk
3 tspns honey
- Sift flour and add all dry ingredients into a large bowl
- Fill loaf tin with mixture, making sure it is all compressed and there are no holes
- Bake at 180 degrees for 40-50 minutes, depending on oven strength. Keep watching and testing with a cake tester to ensure it is baked to perfection!
Blackbean pasta, with tuna, feta and tomatoes
This recipe tastes amazing using other gluten-free pastas(rice, corn etc, not blackbean) and Danish feta.The creaminess of the feta melts in the hot pasta and creates a type of sauce.
Blackbean of other gluten-free pasta
Danish feta
Canned tuna in olive oil
Grape tomatoes
Salt and pepper
- boil pasta according to packet instructions. While it’s cooking, crumble the feta, slice the tomatoes in half and drain the tuna – leaving about 80% of the oil for use.
- Once the pasta is cooked, place in bowl and add fresh ingredients as above. Add all remaining oil from tuna.
- Toss together, season with salt and pepper, and eat!
Aimee, who has some great recipes on the website, has also sourced some of the best places for a gluten free breakfast in Sydney.
This is great!
I have a kitchen, I can do this!
Well done Dee

OK, I’ll try
I only know one dish thats worthy of sharing at the moment, Thai Rare Roast Beef Salad. I do have a pizza oven, Mel and I are keen to try a gluten free dough recipe I found , that might be interesting, I’ll keep you posted.
Other than that I know how to make 2 minute noodles (which is false advertising, because it takes way longer than that), man nachos (Doritos + cheese + 6 x Corona’s + PlayStation) and the Twisty Sandwich Tower.
Twisty Sandwich Tower
Ingredients
1 x loaf of white bread, preferably home brand or black and gold
1 x packet of original Twisty’s
1 x finger scoop of margarine
Step 1:
Spread margarine (this should already be on your finger) on the white bread one piece at a time.
Step 2:
Place (don’t throw) Twisty’s carefully on the bread, margarine side up, be sure to use the longer ones first and avoid Twisty’s that are bent or have a bulge. After you have the first layer use smaller broken Twisty pieces to fill the gaps, then repeat Step 1 and stack to the desired jaw diameter.
Tip:
Don’t watch Funniest Home Videos white eating the Twisty Sandwich Tower unless you have a Dyson nearby.

Adam, this is yourself speaking, you need to proof read your comments!
April 19th, 2011 at 7:30 pm
That was the funniest post ever! And its a sugar free option….
Hi Sarah…my comment has nothing to do with food, but for someone who worked in the magazine industry wondered on your take of Paper Giants. I have always been fascinated by glossy magazines and magically they just appear whenever i hand over my $8 or so! But what really goes into putting something together each month and do journalists really write the horoscopes!! Also, I have always wondered what the purpose was behind the Cosmo bikini shot. Surely there were other, most intellectual ways these women could have gotten into the Guiness Book of Records?
Ita seems like an amazing woman and a fantstic role model – a woman very much to be admired.
I wasn’t sure where to post this entry as it doesn’t really fit into any of your articles. Is there someway you could set up a question box on your blog page so we can ask you things like this?

Hi Mel,
I know Sarah tweeted a few things about the show. i’m not sure if she is going to post but perhaps you would be interested in Mia Freedman’s opinion. She has written a post on her blog about Paper Giants and Park Street and the differences between mags today and in the past.
I would love to get Sarah’s opinion too though

Thanks Lauren…I don’t follow twitter.
Will have a read of Mia’s comments…but your blog is still the best ever Sarah!!

Thanks Mel, I thought the show was astounding. Very accurate. I’m not sure I have much to say re the show that fits with the theme of my blog…I’ll have a think about it…
April 19th, 2011 at 2:53 pm
Good point Sarah…but you often through in random blogs (i.e advertising office space). Maybe you could post something on your facebook page instead?
But no stress, if you don’t you don’t. Meh.
For the bread, even better, replace the honey with maple/agave/rice malt syrup! I’m going to try it!

Hi Sarah, random question – who designed your site? Am starting up a new biz and looking for a web designer. Ta, Caitlin1

Thank you Sarah!

Love all the recipes you post on this site. Unfortunately, my oven still has the plastic seal around it since I bought it new 5 yrs ago – we just don’t gel! BUT, the healthy pictures are very inspiring, and I’ll rip off that seal one day soon and start cooking.
Sarah, sorry in advance if you have a cookbook in the pipeline somewhere, but I’m a bit over this whole celebrity cookbook thing (it’s ok if it’s someone known as a food lover), but I saw in my local bookshop tonight that Lisa McCune has now launced a book. Seriously….

Hi Sarah, thanks for featuring my gluten-free recipes and article in this post! Cook My Way is an awesome, interactive site where anyone with a kitchen can get involved. It’s really fun to cook, shoot, eat, and post! And you can actually see how many people are viewing your recipes.

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for posting this recipe, I have so many food intolerances and cannot have vinegar or yeast which are in so many gluten free breads. I swapped honey for rice syrup and its delicious and so easy!
[Reply]
Hi Sarah!
From the US…I love your blog! I am often jealous that I can’t access some of the places and things you mention! Dumb question probably–on the bread, 180* Celsius or Fahrenheit? (duh) Also, why are people wanting to switch out honey for another sweetener, with raw unprocessed honey so full of health benefits? Yes, it is being heated in the oven, but still…? Thanks!

A query about tomatoes?
How do they fit with paleo diet?
Thanks

What gluten-free flours are recommended for this bread?
[Reply]
Hi Coralie,
This is my recipe that Sarah so kindly featured on her blog. I use any gluten free flour mix from the health food aisle in the supermarket. Alternatively, you could try mixing your own gluten free flour. Gluten Free Girl (Shauna Ahern) from the States has some suggestions for how to do this here: http://glutenfreegirl.com/how-to-make-a-gluten-free-all-purpose-flour-mix/
But just beware with some of the flours she suggests using, as American standards of ‘gluten free’ is different to Aus. But most should be ok.

Cheers!

I am surprised by how in depth this article is; it is genuinely accurate !
The past 6 sites I’ve been to look like autospun crap and there was not even a coherent sentence. Finally a bit of information and facts I’m able to use!
Thanks a bunch!
