If no other restrictions there are some good boxed cakes and cookie

things that fit the bill at Whole Foods or Trader Joes near you.

I don't have any recipes -but can share an archive that may have

suggestions to help from " old timer " (she'll love me calling her

this) Deborah Dore from the UK.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi ,

I really enjoyed your complimenting my cooking but I have to confess

that you could not be further from the truth. My husband cooks

whenever he can as my cooking is known to be atrotious - eldest son

is learning to cook with daddy to try and save himself !

I have become a competent baker because i had to - but only competent

and believe me it took some time !

When Charlie started the diet i used a lot of mixes and shop bought

biscuits which are pretty much idiot proof. But i found that cooking

from scratch myself was cheaper and so I persevered.

The best cook book I have found is the AIA cookbook by Marilyn Le

Breton. Many of the recipes came from mums I know ( including

Marilyn ) and they are designed with the kids in mind so tasty,

naughty, chocie type treats feature heavily.

Once you have a flour base that works then you can actually use

ordinary recipe books. Marilyn uses a blend of rice flour, tapioca

starch and potato flour and, with xanthum gum, this make a flour

that works as well as ordinary plain flour. Sourcing good quality

ingredients is the most important bit and thereafter it is just

practice. It IS daunting to try and find unfamiliar ingredients to

begin with but i know too many people that cope comfortably to

believe that this is beyond most. OF COURSE there are days when i

would love to just go to the supermarket and throw things in the

trolly without worrying - but then I would like to be blond and have

big boobs - we don't always get what we want in life!

There is a UK site (www.wholesomehouse.co.uk) where you can find a

starter pack that includes the flours and xanthum gum and a detailled

recipe book to get you started. You can however get these flours if

you have a local chinese/oriental supermarket - they are then much

cheaper than via the internet otr mail order.

I obviously know less about the USA except that when hubby and i did

Disney with the kids in 2004 I ordered suppleies from a US company

www.glutensolutions.com who had a fantastic range and were happy to

take a UK order for delivery to a hoilday home in Florida. I was not

going to cook much on hols and all their items were brilliant. Disney

were happy to provide gfcf lists ( including a vendor who did gfcf

ice creams yippeeeee) and provided gfcf meals at their resteraunts. I

was invited to speak to the chef to check recipes were ok for

Charlie - they could not have helped more.My eldest went on a ski

trip just before christmas and the hotel provided gfcf without any

problem -( apparently some of the other kids tried to claim gluten

intolerance when they saw he was getting sausage and bacon, gfcf

bagels or envirokids cereal each morning when they had scrambled egg

or shreddies )

If you look at the group gfcfkids their files section has

SOOOOOOO many suppliers and has recipe sections etc. Companies like

Glutano and Glutafin provide taster packs - if you cantactthem and

tell them that your child is going to be going gluten and dairy free

they will send you samples of their products to try. I confess that

some breads taste like warmed up cardboard and bread is absoloutely

the hardest thing to get right ( so I use a bread machine to make

mine) but all the other carbs we love so are easy to get and very

very nice. I even found a truly delicious chocolate spread recently -

creamy and 'milky' it is hard to believe it is gfcf (chocoreal).

I really do believe that most people , with a bit of adjustemnt time,

can do this diet really well.

The swopping food thing seems strange to me , although of course i

believe the culture is as you describe. Maybe my children's schools

are different ? All three have their lunch times monitored to a

different degree. Charlies is obviously watched carefully because

half of his class are doing gfcf so the teachers watch that. But

Madeleines nursey has a strict 'no swopping' policy. The head tells

me that that has been LEA advice for the last five years because of

the rise in peanut allergy. Louis is 12 and more kids eat school

lunch there ( because the lunches are fab) but he assures me that

they are not allowed to swop either and he seemed bemused by my

question. He said that at his last three schools they have never been

allowed to swop and would get in trouble. He did say though that now

he is 12 they are able to get snacks at break and obviously share

these - although he knows what he can have and can't and would not

eat anything outside his diet because it makes him feel 'yackey' (

that apparently is a word).

I don't know why it should be so different - and i am not sure how

the schools that tolerate swopping would cope with a fatality from

shared or swopped food? Is it the responsibility of the parent of a

child with peanut allergy to try and teach them from age 5 not to

share ? Madeleine obviously does not know yet which foods are ok and

which are not but the school she is likely to go to at age 5 have in

their literature that food cannot be shared and that pupils are

forbiden to bring certain foods on to the premisis, so they take

allergy riskes very seriously. It is odd isn't it? Perhaps I have

just been very lucky......

Regards

Deborah
