Hi mrsmurphey :)

You can cook the same foods you always have, but replace the gluten stuff with the non gluten stuff :)

Oxo: changed to Kallo stock cubes and I think Knorr doesn't have flours in either but do check.
Flours: changed to Doves Farm Gluten Free s/r or plain
Pasta: changed to Doves Farm
Bread: changed to Dietry Specials (Tescos own one is not too bad either)

Here's some recipes I do:

today it's Roast Chicken with all the usual trimmings, but the stuffing is homemade sage and onion: which is gluten free breadcrumbs (dietry specials seeded brown), one egg, melted butter, fresh chopped sage and onion and ground pepper, stuffed into the chicken as usual.

Tomorrow will be chicken soup made from the carcass and whatever meat is left over... I'll add a Kallo chicken cube and veggies (onions, courgettes, carrots, celery, fennel and tatties) and paprika and serve with gluten free garlic bread.

I'm doing a pasta salad this week, again gluten free. Cook the pasta in, cool it fast under cold water then add feta, red onions, celery, radishes, peppers, toms, sundried tomatoes and fresh flat leaf parsley and anything else salady you like. I'll serve that with pork spare ribs or chicken.....

Plaice is also on the menu this week, served on a salad of cannelini beans (tinned), red onion, (red chilli and chorizo fried together) rocket, fresh crushed garlic and balsamic vingar dressing all tossed together in a bowl and oven fries (tescos french fries have no flour coating)

I'm also doing this one:

If you like baking cakes like I do, then add Xanthan gum to the flour as it adds the texture of gluten, and I usually add a little extra liquid too as the flour can be a little drier.

The BBC good food site is a good base of recipes too :D

Happy Cooking

thank you all so much, i am looking forward to experimenting and must read all shop bought ingredients

there are 2 cook books i found very helpful
"healthy Gluten-free Eating" by Darina Allen and Rosemary Kearney, published by Kyle Cathei ltd.
lovely food but wrecks a weight loss diet!
and "Easy gluten free cooking" by Rita Greer which may be out of print, but worth a hunt. published by Thorson. this was my bible for a long time!
good luck

I read recently that Phil Vickery has a new gluten free recipe book out which might be worth looking into.
