I will be going on a regular diet for shortly my doctor recommended waiting a little since I'm still healing from 3rd degree tear from child birth. So I'm sticking with gluten free for now. Your tip on how to use xanthan gum is really helpful. I purchased a package a while ago after seeing it in several recipes but was unsure how to use it to adapt regular recipes! I remember my mom doing a lot of cooking out of the moosewood cookbooks. They definitely have some good recipes! Thanks for giving me some hope that my baking days aren't up yet with this new diet!

If you are going gluten-free right now the test may come out as a false negative. GF bagels - I get the ones from Kinnick Kinnick - the sesame ones are good toasted. GF buttertarts - Pane Rizo in Vancouver makes very nice GF tarts. Also see the recipe in Canadian Living online for GF buttertart bars. I love to bake and have been GF for 18 years. I bake a lot of tortes and cakes, etc. My fave cookbook is Moosewood's book of desserts. I substitute GF flour for regular flour (plus 1 teaspoon xanthan gum for every 1 cup of gf flour). I also use the gf flour mix suggested by gluten free gourmet books by Bette Hagman. Hi,
