I’ve been a loyal follower for a few years – since my husband discovered he has celiac disease.
The buttermilk biscuits is my favourite recipe! I use it at least twice a month – but I can’t find it in your new format. Did you delete all of the recipes?
Please put it back up! It’s not in the new cookbook.
Help! Where did all the old recipes go? I’ll die if I can’t have the oatmeal cookies ever again… I just bought a scale and am trying the chocolate crackle cookies from Silvana’s Gluten-Free Holiday Cookie Calendar as we speak.
Thanks for everything
Hannah
Don’t panic, everyone! We’re in transition, moving the blog from Blogger to Wordpress. I have to tag and do a bunch of stuff to every single recipe to get it onto the recipe index. (But the photos make the work worth it.) Give me some time. It will all be there soon.
I just got the new cookbook. It is beautiful! I was hoping to find the recipe to a gorgeous piece of pizza I saw on your blog. Does it exist and is it being shared?
I was just this minute searching your recipe book for the pizza dough recipe so THANK YOU for posting this info in the comments section. Very helpful! I love your site–and your cookbook!
Hi, I really enjoyed the ’36 hour chocolate chip cookies’ but can’t seem to find the recipe on your website anymore?? I also enjoyed the brownie recipe and cannot find that either??
It’s here! I’m working hard to categorize every single recipe on the website, but it’s going to take me at least a month, given the other work I have! Just put “gluten-free girl 36-hour chocolate chip cookie into Google and you’ll find it. (It’s also on Leite’s Culinaria.)
I’ve been following your blog for a while now, and LOVE this new, clear categorization! I loved coming to the recipe page and seeing each category with the little picture next to it. Nice addition to the blog!
Got a question… In the new cookbook, I saw several recipes using blue cheese. I was under the understanding that all blue cheese was off limits for those of us with celiac disease because it is made from bread mold. What’s the story???
BTW, I love, love, love your books, blog, recipes and love story. Thank you for all you provide to us gfree people.
After years of intestinal problems, finally escalating to completely wasting away, my 10 year autistic son was diagnosed with celliac’s. I am desparate for some kid friendly recipes to make him feel like he’s not being deprived of any of his favorites. I’m new to your website (after reading your wonderful book) so maybe you have a kid’s category, but I don’t see it. Let me add, that a MILLION moms of autistic children would love some gluten free recipes that are tasty for our kids, but not difficult for us non-chefs. The prepackaged gluten free foods are terrible. Thanks and I think you are inspiring, funny and real!
I just bought your new book. I am newly diagnosised. I am looking for a recipe suitable for hamburger buns, along with home make subsitions for A-1 and BBQ sauces. I am allergic to flax but plan to try the chia seeds . ..Thank you for this site
I have to thank you for your crusty boule recipe. I was diagnosed almost 4 years ago, and have done a pretty good job of converting favorite recipes to gluten free. The one thing I refused to try was “real” bread. The ingredients are just too expensive to waste on disasters. But after coming across your recipes, I decided to give it a go. I’m so glad I did! Last night I made the bread for the second time, and it was even better than the first! I can’t even describe (not that I need to, you understand) how exciting it was to cut my self a piece of fresh, warm bread to go with my soup! Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my gluten free heart!
I would like the buttermilk biscuits, karen mentioned above. I am assumming its safe, for celiacs so I would like it for my daughter when they come. Her husband loves gravey and biscuits and this way she could have them with us.This is all new to me and a Montana friend from Billings gave this website to our other daughter and she let us know about it. Thank you for your help.
Hi Shauna,
I purchased your book yesterday and read it into the wee small hours last night. Loved it! I was diagnosed last January and confess to a great deal of confusion as to what I could eat…I purchased the book because of the pizza pictured in the lower left corner and found a wealth of information in addition to the the pizza dough recipe. I am greatly encouraged to try out the recipes and thank you both for your lovely book and willingness to share the steps of your journey,
Jeannie
I want to make the pizza from the flatbread/cracker recipe….do I bake the crust and then put the toppings on? or do I ut the topings on and then bake??? lol
Hi Pam,
You do pre-bake the crust, about 8-10 minutes, then add the toppings and put it back into the oven until the cheese is melted. Here’s a post where Shauna walks you through the recipe step by step: http://glutenfreegirl.com/gluten-free-pizza-2/
Thank you so much!!! I gave up on getting an answer here….I just happened to look one more time….I thot Shauna looked at this, I’m Sure she is toooo busy…lol Thanks again..Pam
Hi! This is a very impressive helpful website! I am gluten free and I have a website, so I was wondering if you could check it out and give me some tips on how to make it better! I really like your site, so please email me if you can!
My email is keaaronson@aol.com
One of the best sites for recipes and overall great read. hope one day to meet you and share great times! p.s. the cannoli recipe came out fantastic! i keep that in my “go to” family deserts. thanks again, keep up the great work.
I’m so glad I randomly found your site! I have a friend whose daughter can’t have dairy and they are attempting to reintroduce wheat with varying success. I sent her your address because you have so many great recipes for everyone.
I’m glad the detractors haven’t stopped your awesome-ness–thanks for sharing your food and stories with us.
my favorite new quote lately is: ” When you realize how perfect everything is, you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky” (Buddha)
My partner and I are baking the “Crusty Bread That Even People Those who eat Gluten Would Like” from your second book…the trouble is we’re at about 5,500 ft in northern AZ. Do you have any ideas for us?
The first batch is already rising, thus we’ll see how this one turns out as is. Since nothing ever turns out quite right at this elevation, though, and neither of us know much about baking….we figured we’d ask you since you might have some wisdom on the matter (and we’ll try it out next time.) Thanks so much!!
Hello,
I am a recent person to gluten-free living, and still finding it very hard to resit the siren-call of the gluteny-goodnes of my favorite foods. My mom has been self-diagnosed for almost 10 years aprox, so I am aware of the disorder. My problem is that i am a college student on the go, working in a deli smack between two of my worst enemies; fried-chicken and bakery. Trying to eat on the go as fewer and fewer leftovers can be found in the fridge is hard. I usually opt for chicken nuggets from the drive-through since the coating is the least destructive. What i would like i foods that can be assembled quickly, and still feel like a full meal, and are easy to re-heat and eat on the run. (1/2 hour lunch break i barely have time to heat-up the meal)
I love to cook, and try new things, providing they don’t break the bank. One of the hardest deterrents is staying honest on the run- I have good weeks and bad weeks. I don’t suffer from the lazies, but rather the digestion. In my research too, i found that it also affects my ADD/HD. I worry too about the symptoms with infertility, as i would someday like to have a lap-full of children. My question is is this even true, because if it is, this alone would be enough to have me stop cheating.
thanks to any and all suggestions.
I purchased gluten-free girl and the chef but cannot find the pizza recipe?? It shows the pizza on the front cover and I thought I read that it was in this book?? Thank you.
Hi! I am licking my lips and waiting for your sticky bun recipe…have you figured it out yet and worked out the kinks? Can’t wait to try it, and for my ‘picky little eaters’ to try it!!!
Also, is there really evidence that gluten-free significantly lessens the symptoms of ADD/ADHD, and Aspbergers??
I will be adding some gluten free recipes to my diabetic diet but need to know the nutrition breakdown: carbos, fiber, fat, etc. Are they included in any of your cookbooks? Thanks, Dee
In the midst of reading your wonderful book! We’ve been gf for two years now to help our daughter’s health (Anne has Rett syndrome). It’s been a good change for all of us. I really appreciate your shared love of food and the wonder of discovering the possibilities that this passion brings! My husband and I have always loved cooking together as amateurs and we look forward to trying your recipes. Thank you both!
Have been gluten free for about eight months now. Not a real problem except for the bread part. Just finished making your bread recipe for the second time. Yahoo! real bread! Had to do it twice, and will continue to tweek it a bit here and there, but the second time got it to turn out just like real bread. THANK YOU ! Now, question is how long will it last (stay fresh, not dry out) if it isn’t frozen immediately after baking? Wrap it up? Put it into the fridge, leave it on the counter in a plastic bag? Appreciate any insights.
I’m so glad you liked it! You know, with three of us in the house, a loaf of bread doesn’t last that long. But I would slice it up and freeze it, if it’s just you in the house!
Does anyone have recipes that are GF AS WELL AS dairy free? I realize that butter and cream make almost any GF recipe taste good but what do you do when you can’t use dairy?
Your gluten free recipe section is awesome and I have you bookmarked for the benefit of our own readers. It’s little wonder that The New York Times has endorsed your book! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. In September I suspected that our 9 year old may be gluten intolerant. She went to the urgent care doctor for strep and I tried to talk to her about my suspicions, she told me I had to make another appointment to come in and talk to her primary doctor. I decided instead of making her suffer until I could get another appointment, I’d go ahead and start her on a gluten free diet. She felt better almost instantly.
She then went for her health check-up in January and I talked with the doctor about my suspicions. She told us it was important for us to find out for sure and told my daughter she had to eat gluten again – just for five days. She cried! I offered her everything – donuts, cake, everything. Finally, she agreed to a small amount of ramen noodles each day and then went in for the blood tests. We found that not only is she gluten intolerant, she is allergic to wheat and nuts!!!
She enjoys reading your blogs and is thankful she hasn’t had to suffer as long as you did. She also likes knowing that there are others suffering the same way she did. She is soooo good at reading labels now for all the ingredients. We are flying to Florida this summer and appreciate all you wrote about airports and the food availability. She is getting frustrated with only finding salads and naked chicken wings when we go to restaurants. We have started reading menus on-line and planning what she may be able to eat before we go.
Thank you so much for sharing all your experiences so that we can learn from them and not have to have every experience first hand!!!
happy to find your site recently diagnosed and NOT happy about GF foods out there, I was always a HUGH pasta pizza I love bread girl, well Not any more switching to rice risorto and cheating alot with bday cakes and a good pizza…..Queen Kong
thankyou thankyou for all you do.I have used some of your dessert recipes and they are awesome!!!now to try a couple of your main dishes.My daughters and i are gluten free also.

help, i need the financiers recipe!!
I just got the new cookbook. It is beautiful! I was hoping to find the recipe to a gorgeous piece of pizza I saw on your blog. Does it exist and is it being shared?
page 156! It’s the flatbread cracker recipe. You just make it as written and it’s pizza dough.
(I wish we could put a sticker on the front of the book!)
Thanks. I’d seen that in the description of the flatbread recipe, but I just couldn’t imagine it looking as beautiful as the photo you posted. Thanks!
I was just this minute searching your recipe book for the pizza dough recipe so THANK YOU for posting this info in the comments section. Very helpful! I love your site–and your cookbook!
i think its the cracker recipe on page 156
