About the Book For centuries, bread has been known as the "staff of life." But for millions of Americans affected by gluten-related disorders, consuming gluten, the complex protein found in wheat, rye, and barley, can be hazardous to their health. In a recent poll presented by Scientific American, over 30% of Americans reported wanting to cut down or eliminate gluten from their diets; the gluten-free market is a $6.3 billion industry and continues to expand. Now, in Gluten Freedom, Alessio Fasano, MD, world-renowned expert and founder of Massachusetts General Hospital's Center for Celiac Research, reveals the latest developments in scientific research and treatment, and the answers they provide for this rapidly expanding audience. This groundbreaking, authoritative guide is an invaluable roadmap for the newly diagnosed, for those already dealing with gluten-related issues, and for anyone who thinks they may have an issue with gluten. Distinguishing scientific fact from myth, Gluten Freedom explains the latest research, diagnostic procedures, and treatment/diet recommendations, helping consumers make the best choices for themselves and their families. Gluten Freedom also discusses important nutritional implications for behavior-related diagnoses such as autism and conditions such as depression, anxiety, and "foggy mind." Other highlights include: - The differences between celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and wheat allergy - Current best practices for gluten-related disorders at any age - Practical information on setting up a gluten-free kitchen, reading labels, and staying safe and healthy in a world filled with hidden sources of gluten - The psychological impact of a diagnosis and its effect on a family - Groundbreaking research for prevention and therapy - Reliable and accurate resources for patients, parents, and physicians - And even recipes for an authentic gluten-free Italian dinner from Dr. Fasano's home kitchen A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Gluten Freedom benefit the Center for Celiac Research.

August is my favorite month so far for Twelve Loaves because we are working with herbs. I love them all. I find great joy in preparing a dish and walking to my herb plant boxes in my front yard and snipping a few leaves or bunches of fresh herbs to add to my meals for the day. I guess it makes me feel nostalgic. My daughter cringes if I use the word vintage. It is a joke now with us and she points out all things vintage to me. It is true. I do feel connected to a simpler time. I enjoy old things. I find myself happiest when I have worked hard all day and then sit down to a meal that I made from scratch using ingredients that I grew. Popovers are a vintage dish to me. They use basic ingredients that we have had in our kitchens for centuries. They are an American version of the Yorkshire Pudding from England. I usually make them "as-is" but last week I decided to have some fun with them. I wanted to incorporate a fresh herb into the batter and add a bit of cheese to see if they would still be loved by my family with the extra ingredients. Isabella asked for seconds and thought they were the "bees knees". I guess they were too. Making anything gluten free from a regular recipe is challenging. I am working with some of the same ingredients but then adding new flours and starches to the mix. Sometimes it works and every once in a while it does not. This time it worked. The outside was crispy, the inside hollow and the top "popped" over the top of the pan, hence we have a great Gluten Free POPOVER! YAY. I get excited about this stuff because those that have to eat with food restrictions give up a lot of their favorite foods. It makes me happy when I can share a recipe that brings an item they miss back into their diets. I hope that you will experiment with your own popover version mixing up the herb of choice. Try thyme, rosemary or parsley--or get crazy--and combine all three. Scroll to the bottom of this post to see my friends recipes too! We have a great selection for Twelve Loaves this month. The highlighted links will redirect you to their pages. If you need help converting a recipe to gluten free, let me know. Most recipes can use a basic all purpose gluten free flour to exchange 1:1 for the wheat based flours. NOTE: To guarantee the success of this recipe I encourage you to use the volume measurements. I have tried to get the cup measurement as close as possible but using the grams will guarantee the recipe turns out the same each time. The batter is thicker than crepe batter yet thinner than pancake batter. If the batter seems too thick, add a bit more milk. If the batter is too loose then add more rice flour. Gluten Free Basil Parmesan Popovers Makes 12 4 large eggs 215g (just under 1 cup) milk 85g (1 cup) tapioca flour 110g (1 cup)white rice flour, fine 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum or guar gum pinch of salt 2 tablespoons lard or butter, melted (used in bottom of popover pans) 1 tablespoon fresh basil, minced fine 2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan (divided between the 12 popovers) lard, for popover pan 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 2. In a medium bowl combine eggs and milk. In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients and whisk well. Add the two together. Whisk until the batter is smooth. 3. Mince the basil and combine with egg batter. 4. Let batter sit for 15 minutes. While batter is sitting, put a small dab of lard or butter into each popover. If you use butter, adjust time, because it may burn. My pan has 12 popovers. Put pan in oven long enough to heat pan and melt lard, about 5 minutes. 5. Take pan out of oven and ladle the batter into each popover. They should be about 3/4's of the way full. Sprinkle the batter with a dusting of parmesan cheese. 6. Return to a very hot oven and let cook18-20 minutes. Do not open the oven to keep checking on them. This may cause them to not rise or POP. 7. Remove from oven and serve immediately or let cool and refrigerate leftovers. My kids reheat them in the microwave with butter, lemon and powdered sugar.
