CONTENTS
FOREWORD
Since we started our 4 Ingredients journey back in 2007, with the Australian publication of our first book, we have done hundreds of appearances and book signings and have met literally thousands of fabulous people from all over the world. At these events, one of the most common questions we were asked was, Do you have any gluten-free recipes? And the answer was, in fact, YES, we have hundreds of absolutely gorgeous gluten-free recipes! We had dabbled a little with gluten-free cooking (Rachs husband, Paul, has an intolerance). However, it wasnt until we continued to receive this question so frequently that we considered doing a book dedicated to those who are completely gluten intolerant. As we started researching, we were astounded to see statistics showing that one in one hundred Australians most likely has celiac disease. How many people are still undiagnosed? And thats just in our native Australia. What would the global count come to? Surprisingly, what we also discovered was that there are a large number of people who just want to cut back on wheat, rye, oats, and barley in their everyday diets, choosing to do so not because of intolerance to gluten but purely as a lifestyle choice.
Initially we thought creating recipes would be a mammoth task, when you consider that gluten is found in so many ingredients. Its in many flavored commercial spreads and sauces, some hams, almost all packaged cookies and crackers, some sausages, packaged sauce and soup mixes, most cake mixes, common breads, tortillas, confectioners sugar, and a whole lot more. Compiling this book has required a huge learning curve, and its also been incredibly satisfying to rise to the challenge of substituting gluten-free flours for normal flours and coming up with delicious dishes that anyoneceliac sufferer or notwill enjoy. As with all things, if you seek, you shall find; if you ask, you shall receive an answer; and if you persist, it will happen! We would like to take this opportunity to thank our always supportive husbands, families, and friends, as well as Graham, Cheryl, and the team at The Coeliac Society of Australia, which has been an invaluable source of information and guidance while we were compiling this book. 4 Ingredients Gluten-Free , with over 400 simple, speedy, and scrumptious recipes, is proof that a gluten-free lifestyle can be delicious! Best wishes and happy cooking! Kim and Rachael
WARNING!
In an effort to make this book as user-friendly as possible, and to help you when youre shopping, we chose to list the ingredients that we used in many of our recipes. These ingredients at the time of writing were endorsed by The Coeliac Society of Australia as being gluten-free.
And many of them have gluten-free clearly marked on them. However, changes may happen. Manufacturing processes change, ingredients change, labels change. As a precaution, ALWAYS check the labels for updated information and warnings to ensure that what you think you are eating is what you are actually eating!
WHAT IS GLUTEN?
Gluten is a protein found in grains, including wheat, rye, oats, and barley. Gluten is found in some soups, some mayonnaises, and many processed foods, as well as in wheat starch binders and fillers. Gluten can also be found in medications and in some vitamins.
People with celiac disease are sensitive to gluten, which damages the lining of the small bowel. This damage can lead to symptoms including fatigue, anemia, irritable boweltype symptoms, and vitamin and mineral deficiencies. When you are choosing products, it is very important to check the ingredient listing.
