People with an intolerance to gluten lack the enzyme that is necessary for breaking down this protein, which is found in wheat, rye, bulgur, barley, kamut, and spelt grains. They cannot eat any foods containing gluten, or they will become very ill. Cooking for someone who has a gluten intolerance can be a challenge, but with some education, it is possible to adapt your kitchen and cooking style.
First, learn all you can about the foods that contain gluten. Gluten is not only found in obvious sources, such as flours, cakes, breads, and cookies. Gluten can be found in many unexpected places, such as mustard, vinegar, spices, gravies and packaged gravy mixes, store-bought soup broth, soy sauce, and anything with malt or malt extract in it.
Go through your kitchen and sort these foods. Keep the gluten-containing foods separate from those that do not contain gluten to prevent cross-contamination. You may need to separate the cooking utensils you will be using as well, or at least wash them very, very well.
Browse for recipes. If you do not have a gluten-free cookbook, the easiest place to find suitable recipes is online. Simply type “gluten-free recipes” into a search engine and see what comes up. Or, if you have a specific kind of food you’d like to try altering to make gluten-free, type the name of that food into the search engine with “gluten-free” attached to it.
Shop for ingredients. It is likely that your recipes call for ingredients that you may not be able to find at a regular supermarket. Xanthan gum, for instance, is often used as a gluten-free thickener in place of flour, and may only be available in health food stores. So if you can’t find some of the ingredients, look at the natural foods or specialty foods shops in your area. If you come up against something you cannot find there, ask one of the clerks if it is possible to order it.
If you will regularly be preparing food for someone who cannot consume gluten, it is a good idea to invest in gluten-free flours and other substitute foods, and at least one or two gluten-free cookbooks. You’re going to want to teach yourself how to bake without using gluten, and these cookbooks, along with online sources, can be of help.
