Welcome to Tiffany's Kitchen

Welcome to my kitchen, where I primarily nourish my family, laugh with my husband, serve those in need around us, and bake.  I bake a lot.  What most people forget when eating their treats from Tiffany's Kitchen is that everything that comes out it is gluten free and often specifically tailored to additional allergy needs.

Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookie
For 2 years, I have been playing with recipes that I have found online, from friends, and in magazines.  My friends who eat gluten free have been great resources, handy guinea pigs, and happy customers as I have grown my repetoire and developed recipes that are primarily my own.

I'd love to ship my baked goods to those who live all over the coutry and the world, but state laws in Ohio prevent me from doing so.  I do not have a commercial kitchen. I bake solely out of my home kitchen, which means I follow standard cottage industry laws set forth by my state.

Slice of pumpkin pie and my morning crocheting...
 Instead of making all of you fine folk wait for me to get my hands on a commercial kitchen, I've decided to blog my baking adventures.  We'll follow along with a calendar that I have put together with a new recipe each month.  Here on the blog, I'll tell you the best flours to buy, where to get the best prices on those flours, and what flours to avoid for optimum flavor and texture!

Soft Pretzels make amazing hamburger buns...I'll divulge those secrets later!
Do you or a family member have other allergies beyond gluten?  No worries! I've become known around here as the "Allergy Friendly" baker.  I've tackled several allergies, including but not limited to: soy, egg, dairy, rice, pineapple, peanut butter, tree nut, and chocolate.  There are tricks to all of them, and each week, I'll tell you how to tweak that month's recipe to accomodate various allergies and sensitivities.

Disclaimer: All recipes are only as allergy friendly as the ingredients and tools you use and the environment that you bake them in.



What you need to know is this: My standard for gluten free baking is that if someone who regularly eats gluten doesn't love it, then it's not good enough.  Just because you can't have gluten doesn't mean you can't enjoy your food.

So, without further ado. I present the link to Etsy, where you can order a print copy of the calendar to be shipped each Tuesday afternoon or have it directly downloaded via a pdf file.

The Brownies
Recipes included are: Flourless Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Pancakes, Pumpkin Pie, Swedish Apple Pie, Dinner rolls, Cinnamon Rolls, Brazilian Cheese Rolls, Soft Pretzels, Graham Crackers (that taste amazing and actually crunch!), Pizza Crust, and Brownie Bites (these made me locally known as the Brownie lady!)

I'll post more as the week goes on.  For now, I want to know one thing.



What do you miss most not eating gluten or any other food allergy?  And have you found a happy substitute for it, or should I consider it a challenge?!  I do love a good challenge!
