Cookbook: Baked to Perfection

[runpunkrun]

I've got Katarina Cermelj's Baked to Perfection: Delicious Gluten-Free Recipes with a Pinch of Science out from the library thanks to a recommendation from jesse_the_k. I haven't made anything from it yet, but it's a gorgeous book with beautiful photographs of the finished baked goods, plus process photos for the tricky bits, and friendly illustrations to demonstrate the science behind the recipes. Because it explains WHY you're doing things this way, it's got an America's Test Kitchen vibe, only Kat herself is gluten-free and has a degree in chemistry, so it feels a bit more personal than ATK. I'm looking forward to trying the sandwich bread.

You can find Kat online at her blog The Loopy Whisk.

I find paleo cookbooks and websites frequently helpful with inspiration for meals and the occasional recipe, since they make avoidance of grains (and dairy) a general principle.

Since I 'only' have two dietary problems: lactose intolerance and the dreaded gluten, there are often many recipes I can use without any changes or editing. They might be less helpful for others, depending on your own dietary restrictions, but it doesn't hurt to take a look.

And for a specific website I love Stephanie at A Year of Slow Cooking because she also loves her crockpot! https://www.ayearofslowcooking.com/

As someone who must avoid dairy, I also find paleo cooking to be a good starting point, especially for savory dishes. I got one of my new favorite dinners from a blog that does a lot of paleo recipes: The Domestic Man.
