CC’s 2012 Gluten Free Holiday Guide

Posted onAuthorCeltic Celiac

It’s the holiday season again, and with that comes the time of gifts and giving! If you have someone gluten free on your list you might find it somewhat difficult knowing what to buy them, especially if you are seeking to find something beyond the normal gluten free food product. In 2010 and 2011 I provided holiday guides for the gluten free folks, so I am continuing with this gluten free tradition for 2012!

Gluten Free Cookbooks 

~ 28 Gluten Free Appetizers: For me, appetizers always seem like the hardest thing about setting up a party, and these seem to be some great ideas!
~ Grocery, Restaurant, and/or Cards from Triumph Dining

Books for the Gluten Free Kid

~ The Art of Healthy Eating: Kids

~ I’m Happy Being Gluten Free: A Kids Cookbook from a Kids Point of View

~ Student’s Gluten Free Cookbook for Dummies

~ Eat Like a Dinosaur: Recipe and Guidebook for Gluten-free Kids


Great Gluten Free Kitchen Helpers

If you are looking beyond the books, and beyond the typical gluten free items, then look no further than kitchen gadgets and gizmos.

~ Bread-maker: Good gluten-free bread is hard to come by, and my favorite gadget now is my breadmaker, which makes AMAZING bread. My suggestion is the Zojirushi Brand.

~ Ice Cream Maker: Another good gadget, especially if you are like me and love having interesting flavor ice cream or the usual chocolate chip cookie ice cream. Check out this one by Cuisinart.

~ iPad Kitchen Hanger: Use your iPad for recipes? Try this baby out!

Locally Gluten Free

Shopping gluten free doesn’t always have to be mainstream. Try staying local. Buy gift cards to local gluten free restaurants, or bakeries. If you live in an area lucky enough to have local farmers markets or farm stands see if they offer gift cards, or locally made gluten free products. On Long Island try places such as Barenaked Bakery, Wild Flours, or Strictly Gluten Free.
