Food and Books. Let's talk Cookbooks!

[diamondactor]

Hey, so I started a little cookbook on here with some of my personal recipes. Not sure about the update schedule yet as I'm learning and making as I go. I specialize in gluten free, but still delicious. I have that food allergy and got to tell you some of the premade food is horrendous, so I made better tasting stuff for myself. My hubby is the true chef of the house, but I'm trying to understand his love of cooking. I figured a cookbook would help me better understand him and help others with great food. Now the question, what kind of recipes are you guys looking for?

Here's the book if you want to check it out (just starting):

To add to the gluten-free recipes, if you haven't seen this yet, here you go:

Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla (optional)

Mix together. Bake 350F/180C for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cook before moving, as cookies are very crumbly. Very tasty though! I'm not gluten-free, and I actually prefer the flavor of these to traditional PB cookies.

I'll try it out see how I like it and I might make some changes to fit the style of the book, but I can credit you. How would you like to be credited?

This is an interesting idea! I like that you just went straight into the recipes and didn't have 2,000 words about your brother in laws dog or whatever random thing food bloggers are always writing about before they get to the actual recipes. As for suggestions- I'm always looking for easy breakfast ideas.

Suggestions? Some matcha will do.

[diamondactor]

I personally love breakfast, so I will definitely do some of those. I think the only reason they do the intro is because they are selling the book and have to be so different from any other book. I'm not selling; just learning, so I will make it easy to read/adapt to diet needs.

[diamondactor]

Forgive my ignorance, but what is matcha?

[SurvivALIST]

Matcha- the ground powdery processed green tea. This is added into lattes and some desserts.

I will try to make something with it, but I'll have to have my hubby taste them to make sure its good before posting (he loves tea). I have a recessive gene to where I can't taste most lightly flavored teas and certain mild spices. I can smell them just not taste. Green tea I've never had, so if it's a strong flavor I should be able to taste it, but if it's like Jasmine I won't be able to taste it.

[SurvivALIST]

I see. Green teas are like the lightest ones and they hardly become sour unless something happened.
Hands-on tea making is bit complicated but delicate if one wants to achieve the preferred flavor.

[diamondactor]

I might have to rely on my guy to taste test any of those recipes then.

Updated it some to add costs from my local store if you buy everything (if you don't already have ingredients/spices at home from other stuff).

I'm not sure... or even sure if it's necessary to credit me, since I didn't create the recipe. I have no idea where I got it from, though, aside from 'the Internet', close to a decade ago.
