Ok, you ask, what is a Cooking and Baking System and why is it important to have a system gluten free baking?

Well, no matter who you are, you need to eat. Most people have a way of sorts to getting three squares and snacks into themselves every day. Usually a combination of cooking at home, enjoying someone’s cooking at home, buying packaged foods or eating out. Often a combination of these.

If you are on a traditional non allergy related, eat anything diet, your way of getting your meals has been established. It is a system you follow whether you call it that or not.

Now enter a food allergy, an autoimmune disease, a food intolerance, Celiac Disease or such and your system is shot. If you are just new to a gf diet, how do you start, what can you eat in the healing stages? Trina's e-book Health & Nutrition, with Encyclopedia can help you through the beginning weeks and months without feeling deprived and save you hundreds of hours of research.

For someone following a Gluten Free Diet, this means totally re-vamping the kitchen, where they eat out, and in short, their whole life!

Before some on a gluten free diet find their dietary ‘sea legs’ as such they can end up filling their kitchens with literally 100’s of different foods trying to find something that tastes good. Go through months of research only to feel deprived and resigned to a life of boring foods.

More Reasons for a good Cooking and Baking System at your house.

Because, most people who are familiar with traditional cooking and baking are used to having just a short list of flours, - all purpose wheat flour, cake and pastry flour, whole wheat flour, rye flour etc. - to cook and bake with. When they find they now have to adhere to a gluten free diet, finding gluten free flours that work and that taste similar, or at least ‘good’ and are good for you, can be a daunting task.

If someone has been used to ready-baked wheat goods, and not done a lot of baking, this can be even more difficult. In this case, many people are not only learning to cook for the first time; they now have to learn to cook and bake alternatively, which adds to the difficulties. Many people are new to a gluten free diet and are looking for ways to manage this life long change, not feel deprived, and also save time and money.

When a diet is important to keep you feeling good, and healthy, you have no option. You cannot cheat and maintain your health.

No more foods that taste like sawdust

Fact:
Flours which are naturally gluten free need to be blended to bake well. There are numerous gf flour blends available. Most people we have talked to however, are having a hard time finding baked goods or mixes that meet all their expectations. Many gf blends create heavy crumbly baked goods. Often breads need to be toasted to be palatable.

Astoria Mills GF Baking and Cooking System has been designed to answer many of the challenges facing those on a gluten free diet, at whatever stage they are.

With Astoria Mills 7 Basic Mixes, you can make everything you want! You don’t need to buy cupboards full of mixes and flours for this and that.

Astoria Mills Enriched Gluten Free Mixes use superior gluten free ingredients that are: Wheat/Gluten free, soy free, tree nut/peanut free, milk/casein free, bean free, egg free. Some recipes call for eggs, you can use an egg substitute. No artificial preservatives, and no methylcellulose are added.

Three Stages of Healing:
Stage One and Two: If you are just starting a gluten free diet, and are in either Stage 1 or 2, the Healing Phase, Astoria Mills Basic Mixes are safe easily digestible blends. Some Celiacs are extremely sensitive and take a longer time to heal. Some are not able to tolerate nuts, beans, nor the more nutritious whole grains now available, so these are not included in our Basic Flour Mixes.

Stage Three:
When you have arrived at Stage Three, you have gone through the healing stages of the diet and you are now able to eat practically anything as long as it is gluten free. You may want to add more fibre and nutrition to your diet through Astoria Mills Ancient Grains Blend. Add this whole grain blend especially formulated for nutrition and taste to any of Astoria Mills base mixes and add additional fiber and nutrition, or use it alone to make yeast free flatbreads or pumpernickel style breads.

Astoria Mills Mixes have been developed through years of personal experience on a gluten free diet, and from extensive research. We have listened to many people to see what their needs are. We have done extensive taste testing and know you will love all the foods you can have again.
