5 tips for everyday gluten-free cooking
Cooking gluten-free doesn't mean giving up taste or variety. Here are 5 simple tips to help you on a daily basis:
With these few reflexes, gluten-free cooking will become a simple and pleasant habit!
- Choose naturally gluten-free ingredients: rice, potatoes, quinoa, vegetables, legumes... These are excellent bases for your meals.
- Prefer alternative flours: For your pastries or sauces, opt for rice flour, buckwheat, corn or chickpeas. Each has its own particularities, don't hesitate to mix them.
- Read the labels carefully: Gluten can hide in unexpected products such as sauces, broths, certain spices or even processed products. Vigilance is essential!
- Prepare in advance (Meal Prep): Cooking a few basic dishes or ingredients on the weekend for the week will save you valuable time and prevent you from falling back on less healthy solutions in the event of a hunger strike.
- Avoid cross-contamination: If you are also cooking with gluten for other members of the family, use clean utensils, cutting boards and work surfaces and separated for your gluten-free preparations to avoid any risk.
