If you are new to wheat free cooking there are a few things you should keep in mind. Non-traditional flours are a bit trickier to work with and if not baked just right can turn into a heavy and flat mess.

First off, don’t listen to people who say you need to buy up all the wheat flour substitutes on the market. This will not only cost you a fortune, it will end up being very confusing in the kitchen.

Most alternative flours expire quickly and have short shelf lives. Trying to bake with rancid flour doesn’t turn out so well. What you may want to try is buy a few wheat free baking mixes and see which brands you enjoy.

There are plenty of different brands on the market you could check out including Namaste, Bob’s Red Mill, Arrowhead Mills, Authentic Foods, Pamela’s, and that is just to name a few. They usually have a few different recipes listed right on the boxes that you can try and experiment with.

When you have discovered your favorite brands make sure to always have their mixes on hand for whenever you want to bake something. You may want to consider getting some airtight containers to keep your mixes in to extend their shelf life. Other people keep their mixes in the freezer.

Make sure to be cautious of any other food allergies you may have. Many people have more than one food allergy.

Secondly, wheat free cooking requires a lot of practice to get right. I mean, a lot of practice. You will probably throw away a lot of messed up cookies, cakes and bread your first week, but thats ok.

Keep at it and keep in mind that each failure teaches you something new. Keep a record in your journal or in a binder of what you did wrong each time so you can perfect your recipes.

Third, make sure to meet some people either locally or online who are also on a wheat free diet. There are plenty of support groups around you could join. There you will find recipes, tips and of course that much needed emotional support.

It is true, it will probably take you a while to get used to wheat free cooking. Just remember to keep your favorite mixes handy, keep a record of your experiments and meet with other wheat free people and you will be a pro in no time.
