Where to Purchase Ingredients for Recipes:

I buy most of my flours from online sources. I can often get my flours through amazon.com. One company I particularly like is www.iherb.com. I've been shopping with them for years now.  Low prices, super fast shipping and terrific customer service.  And if you're a new iherb customer enter the coupon code CEL291 when checking out and you'll receive $10 off your 1st order of $40 or more. A big plus is you can buy almost all the flours used in my cookbook through iherb. And www.vitacost.com is another site with a great gluten-free selection.

Brown Rice Flour:

Based on the recent findings of high levels of arsenic in brown rice I'm now just making my flour mix with white rice flour and substituting any brown rice flour in the mix with white rice flour.

Golden Flax Meal: 

Flaxseed is ground into flax meal and is used as an egg substitute as well as in several of my recipes. I now get flaxseed and grind it in a coffee grinder. I grind the amount needed for a week's supply and store it in the refrigerator. I chose this company, Great Plains Flax, because they only process flax so there's less chance of cross-contamination with other allergens. I find they're customer service to be superb. Shipping is free.

Extra Light Olive Oil:

Bertolli Extra Light Olive Oil – Make sure your purchasing "Extra Light" oil and not just light. You can usually pick this up at your local grocery store or at Sam’s Club or other discount warehouse store.

Vanilla Extract:

Allergen Free Pure Vanilla Extract - Tahitian vanilla extract (made from their own beans) doesn't contain any sugar or additives of any kind.

Organic Vanilla Extract - From Digestive Wellness - The alcohol in their vanilla is derived from sugar cane, and so, it is completely gluten-free and corn-free.

I presently get my Pure Vanilla Extract from BJ’s Wholesale club

Chocolate Chips:

Mama Ganache Artisan Chocolates, Inc. - I recently found this chocolate and posted about it in my blog. So excited to have found a chocolate that is free of most allergens - even corn!

Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips - currently some debate on some blogs regarding whether or not these chips are corn free, too.  I, too, have been having a reaction to them. Big bummer for this chocoholic. I had often picked these up at Whole Foods or my local grocery store.

If any of you currently use a chocolate chip that is free of all common allergens please contact me so that I can add them to the list.

Shortening:

Spectrum Palm Oil Shortening There are only a handful of recipes in the book that require shortening.  Pies, pastries and frosting.

Cream of Tartar: Cream of tartar is a white, odorless powder that you can usually find in the spice section of your local grocery store. Cream of tartar is the only McCormick spice I still use since finding out that they fought to keep us from finding out what GMOs were in our food.

The combination of the cream of tartar and baking soda in recipes will act in the same way that baking powder does and helps leaven your baked goods and cause them to rise. You can read more about cream of tartar in my blog post, "Are Cream of Tartar and Tartar Sauce the Same Thing?"

Baking Soda:

I’ve been using Bob’s Red Mill but recently found out all baking soda is by nature aluminum free, but use Bob's because it is extracted by an all-natural water process that uses no chemicals. Can purchase this through iherb - http://www.iherb.com/Bob-s-Red-Mill-Aluminum-Free-Premium-Baking-Soda-Gluten-Free-16-oz-1-lb-453-g/9852

Pasta - I had always used brown rice pasta until I discovered the high arsenic levels in the brown rice vs. the white rice so now we use Andean Dream quinoa and white rice pastas.

My spices are all single ingredient spices from Spicehunter and I love the freeze dried spices from Litehouse.

My preferred stock is Kitchen Basics – chicken or beef.

Paper containers to store homemade ice cream can be found at The Eco Products Store.  These cups are quite sturdy and I'm often able to wash and resuse them.

Candy free of the 8 common allergens (be careful some may contain corn) is available from The Natural Candy Store.
