Comments on: The Gluten Free Goddess and her Flourless Cakes http://www.bookofyum.com/blog/the-gluten-free-goddess-and-her-flourless-cakes-307.html Yummy Adventures in Gluten Free Cuisine Thu, 02 May 2013 19:09:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Book of Yum - Blog http://www.bookofyum.com/blog/the-gluten-free-goddess-and-her-flourless-cakes-307.html/comment-page-1#comment-1008 Book of Yum - Blog Fri, 13 Jul 2007 17:06:07 +0000 http://www.bookofyum.com/blog/?p=307#comment-1008 [...] Among all of the gluten free blogs, a few blogs stand out as truly extraordinary artistic endeavors that inspire both the newly diagnosed and long term gluten intolerant cooks. One of my favorite blogs has consistently been Karina’s blog over at Gluten Free Goddess. Her immensely popular blog is renowned for fabulous recipes centering on fresh, delicious ingredients as well as mouthwatering, gorgeous photos. Unfortunately Karina recently found that she has multiple allergies to some of the central ingredients in her culinary experiments, including Cow’s milk, cheese, whey, casein, goat’s milk, eggs (including whites and yolks), chicken, turkey, gluten, peanuts, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, soybeans, lemon, avocado, pineapple, papaya, green beans and kidney beans.. All of her readers were equally dismayed, but BytheBay came to the rescue with a brilliant idea for a blog event she titled Cooking for Karina: A Blogging Festival and a Cooking Challenge. Our mission? To create delicious, healthful recipes for Karina that did not contain the above allergy inducing ingredients. I went to my local farmer’s market for inspiration and brought home an assortment of fresh, local produce for grilling in my Recipe for Grilled Vegetables. This recipe is deceptively simple but sure to be a hit at any party-private or for a crowd! Using a propane grill makes it about as easy as turning on a burner on your stove, with amazing flavor. You can also try it using a grill pan or broiler on a rack, but I highly recommend a grill. Because Karina is the queen of healthy gluten free desserts (Apple flourless cake, anyone?) and also often features seasonal fresh fruit, I created a lovely summer fruit salad for her topped with a fresh, sweet, and creamy Cashew Cream. (Almond, Soy, and Dairy Free- but still yummy!) If Maple Syrup is too sweet or high on the glycemic index, Agave syrup may be substituted. Here’s to Karina- no matter what is or isn’t on her plate, she’ll always be a goddess to her readers! Thanks also to BytheBay, for hosting this event!
