Has anyone tried baking with flours other than wheat? I ordered some rye, peanut, garbanzo, soy, rice, bean, pea and more, including gluten enhancer. Looking forward to pastas and breads: an interesting spring!

I prefer liquid bread.

When making gravy from a roast (beef or turkey) use oat flour, the flavor is much better than regular white flour.

There are all kinds of resources on the Internet to cook gluten free.  I am a rather simple eater and most of my meals are cooked for myself using the microwave.  I especially love to use quinoa with eggs or to thicken soups with it..  There are any number of recipe books on quinoa.  But here is just one example of a thickening agent that is gluten free:  http://livingglutenandgrainfree.com/2011/01/31/tapioca-it%E2%80%99s...

You don't have to be gluten intolerant to go gluten free.  A popular books called, "Wheat Belly" exposes gluten as problem for the digestive system and health in general.  http://www.amazon.com/Wheat-Belly-Lose-Weight-Health/dp/1609611543  There are all kinds of recipes for the gluten free life style out there, including Web sites that just advise on this subject.

Rice flower is good and gluten-free, but it makes everything crumbly.  I use Arrowroot (or tapioca) as a thickener.

Everytime I try cooking with soy flour the result tastes like dog biscuits.

Mandy, I just had my gallbladder out this morning. I am not gluten sensitive but am interested in using less carbohydrates, I wonder if anyone found good metrials for sauce thickeners besides wheat flower and corn starch

I went gluten free after a gall bladder operation last year.  Here is the grain my surgeon recommended:  http://www.cookingquinoa.net/quinoa-recipes  It is a bit pricy in retail stores but I purchased 25 lbs. of it for about $60 on the internet.  I'm sure you can purchase quinoa flower in bulk also for a reasonable price.  I also use corn flour as it is also gluten free.  Corn flower is the primary ingredient in much Mexican cooking.
