I'm K, pronouns are she/her and they/their, and I usually talk about myself as "this guy/dude" and "this bitch", so idk man. I'll probably mostly be a lurker, but I have some recipes to share when IRL slows down a bit more. (If it slows down...)
I went gluten free in 2012, first just trying out paleo for reasons and then I discovered that I actually have a gluten intolerance. (I also have a lactose intolerance, but that I've always known.) I left the paleo diet behind after about a year of it, though I do occasionally cook paleo-ish meals from time to time. I've been considering going back to it as that was some of the best food I've cooked for myself and overall I was really happy with it. (The only reason why I dropped it was because I love dairy and also sweet baking, and, uh, gluten free frozen pizzas became available in my country.)
What's the last gluten-free thing you made with your own hands? I made a chilli earlier this week that I've even reheating for days. Before that, I made Icelandic carnival buns (gluten free choux pastry buns filled with homemade low-sugar raspberry jam and whipped cream.
If your answer is "coffee," that's valid. I don't drink coffee, but come to think of it, I made a mean hot chocoate last night.
What kind of foods do you like to prepare? I don't actually cook much. I'm more of a frozen dinners and take away (or when spoons get really low, yoghurt & cereal or bag of crisps) kind of person. When I do cook, I typically make something that'll last me a whole week, like a pot of chilli, or lasagna, or soup. I bake occasionally.
How much baking experience do you have? About 15 years or so, probably. Gluten free baking, 7 years.
What type of recipes are you interested in? Anything and everything from savoury to sweet tbh. Simple recipes. I'm not much of a fan of gluten free recipes for baking that require like five different flours in varying ratios and then a stabiliser of some kind that should impossible to find in a normal grocery store. (like xanthan gum. I hate xanthan gum. I've started to think it's fictional, because I can't bloody find it anywhere, so if a recipe calls for it? I'm out.) I use mostly commercial flour blends and/or just plain oat flour when the recipe lets me get away with it.
Are you here to post, comment, or just be a friendly lurker? I'll tick all three.
my favourite pie is Finnish blueberry pie. I had to think about this because pies aren't much of a thing here in Scandinavia (certainly not to the extent they seem to be in America) and I think Finnish blueberry pies are the only pies I've actually ever had in life. Anyway, they've got shortcrust (I think is the English term) and a filling of quark and blueberries (bilberries, to be technical). I'll share the recipe when I get a chance.
