I am having a friend for a visit for tea on Friday and she is above - now she has told me genius bread is not bad tasting. Anybody give me a nice meal to make for her without the gluten. Am thinking of above bread and salad - that is all I can think of. Thanks

why not do salmon and potatoes with veg or meat and veg?

[Connemmara]

That is how much I know - thought there was gluten in potatoes - - if not will go for the basic meal cos I do have salmon and halibut and some veggies. Thanks all.

[Connemmara]

Can I make a pavlova - whites of eggs - vinegar - cornflour (is that gluten) - caster sugar - anything there gluten - thanks again - like it to make a little surprise for her.

[Connemmara]

oh fresh cream and flake

[vodkancoke]

Pavlova is fine for coeliacs.

[friedgreentomato]

yes your ok 3 egg whites to 1 tbsp of cornflour

[pastafreak]

You can make the Pavlova-but leave the cornflour out.
Gluten is present in grains...corn.wheat,barley,oats,etc...and all their by-products.

[vodkancoke]

That's good to know pasta, I was always told there was no gluten in cornflour.

[slaney]

Cornflour is ground maize/corn and is usually suitable for coeliacs.

I stand corrected,slaney.
I have to admit-I don't bother with cornflour in meringues anyway.

[vodkancoke]

I don't use it in meringes but I do with pavlova...it makes it marshmallowey (is that a word??)

[pastafreak]

It is now...;-)

[Connemmara]

vodka and coke - it does make marshmarlowwy - wrong spelling - will try a little bit.
