Lynn was looking for gluten free recipes for our grandson when she came upon the elana's pantry site.
Recipes and information on this site led Lynn to take a strong interest in Elana's cookbook The Gluten Free Almond Flour Cookbook (Ten Speed Press). Elana (Amersterdam) was nice enough to do a short, email interview with Mark and Lynn...
M & L: Relatively speaking, how much flexibility is there in these kind of recipes?
E: "They're a great base and I encourage adventurous folks to experiment with them --there are wonderful examples of this all over the forums section of my website elanaspantry.com, as well as in the comment sections of various recipes."
M & L: Do you think that gluten has gone mainstream? (If not, what will it take for it to go mainstream?)
E: "I think gluten free is much more common than it was 10 years ago when I was diagnosed. People thought I was in some sort of cult back then and did not have any conception that this was a real health issue."
M & L: Do you have a favorite non-gluten meal?
E: "I love the smoked salmon leek tart from my book The Gluten Free Almond Flour Cookbook, served alongside a huge salad."
