How to Make Your Favorite Recipes Gluten-Free. Learning that you are gluten-intolerant doesn't
mean that you have to give up your favorite recipes. Here are some ways to modify traditional
recipes into ones you can enjoy. You will need Traditional recipes Pencil Pasta dish
substitutions Baked good substitutions Main course substitutions Soup substititions and
sauce and gravy substitutions. Step 1. Review your traditional recipes with a pencil in
hand, marking problematic ingredients. As you look at the recipes, consider whether
you can substitute for -- or omit -- the things you can't eat. At first, try modifying recipes
that contain very little flour or gluten-containing ingredients. You may be able to omit the flour
without ruining the recipe. Step 2. Consider pasta dish substitutions. Gluten-free pasta
made from brown rice is an option -- so are traditional Asian rice noodles. Step 3. Know
that you can still enjoy baked goods. Instead of wheat flour, use gluten-free flour substitutes
like millet, soy, white or brown rice, tapioca, or garbanzo bean flour in your recipe. Step
4. Consider main courses. You can flour or bread meats with cornmeal, potato flakes,
crushed potato chips, gluten-free cereal, or gluten-free bread crumbs. Step 5. When
making soups, instead of the gluten flour usually used to thicken soups, use cornstarch
instead. Making sauces or gravies? Tapioca and tapioca starch can be used as gluten-free
thickeners. So can arrowroot, cornstarch, and potato starch. Smooth gravies can be prepared
with sweet rice flour. Now enjoy your favorite foods gluten-free. Did you know The first
