Unlocking Flavor: How the Elements of Baking Transforms Gluten-Free Treats into Culinary Masterpieces
Hey there welcome to the channel so I’m super excited today because I recently bought Cat’s new cookbook she’s from the loopy whisk her new book The Elements of baking looks super exciting for multiple reasons along with it being gluten-free of course let me tell you why I bought this without barely looking at it because I’m not going to buy a cookbook.
Unless I think it’s worth the money I’m Jamie with safy saver I share gluten-free recipes tips tricks and resources to make your gluten-free lifestyle easier so please consider hitting subscribe and let me tell you why I’m so excited all right so if you’ve been watching the channel for a while you know that I watch the loopy.
Whisks website like a hawk trying to find some good recipes to share with you guys because she never disappoints she always gives really good directions she explains why she’s using certain ingredients and her recipes work so I’m always looking at her recipes to see what I want to make well her new cookbook.
The elements of baking just came out I have actually been excited about this for a few months now because she started announcing it really early when it was coming out I don’t typically buy cookbooks on a regular basis anymore because I have plenty and of course the web is a great place to look for gluten F recipes but this one’s a little.
Different I actually felt that it was important for me to have because cat goes into the scientific reason for things on why recipes work she goes into ingredients a little more than some others that I have found so let me tell you why I’m excited about this because I’m hoping to start doing some recipes out of this for you guys so I’m not.
Going to give too much away because ultimately this is cat’s book and I’m just the one who purchased it and will be cooking out of it but I do want to show you some really good features of it because I think it’s important you guys always ask me what flowers to use and you ask about eggree recipes and dairyfree recipes and this is a good.
Book to think about getting so the first chapter is everything you need to get started she’s going over ingredients she’s going over tools she’s going over that kind of stuff for gluten-free baking along with egg free dairyfree vegan so that’s the first chapter the second chapter gets into the science of it all so she’s going to give some.
Insight on how you can swap ingredients so you can make it whatever you need to make it whether it be dairy free egg free glutenfree chapter three all about adapting I’m very excited about this chapter because one thing I want to do is to be able to adapt older recipes or Family Recipes into gluten-free or egg.
Free or whatever and I want them to work so I’m very excited about this chapter of the book to hopefully teach me how to make those adaptations that you guys are probably all wanting to make as well she also does case studies I’m going to show you something on that in just a second and then finally chapters 5-9 are all individual so it’s free from gluten free.
From eggs free from dairy whatever the case may be and then if I know anything about cat cuz I’ve only flipped through this a little bit she’s really good about telling you how to make it multiples if needed let’s take a look at a couple pages so the photos in this book are really good at helping you to know what you should be looking for.
Because this cake roll for instance she’s giving us all the different ways that she made it and what they look like egg free gluten-free regular dairy free gluten-free vegan they all look very similar to each other and while all the recipes aren’t going to come out that way I love that she’s showing me what they can look like.
With all those allergies and ingredients that you can’t necessarily have this is what they’re going to look like when you remove those ingredients for recipes like this cheesecake she’s given the ingredient amounts in a table format so it tells you what format it is and what you need for the ingredients or if you’re leaving something out like milk.
For instance out of the vegan recipe this is great I really like how she’s telling me what’s being changed to make it dietary appropriate for whatever the case may be she has a glossery in the back of the book that also serves as a dictionary so if you don’t know what something means boil for instance she’s going to give you the definition for it.
Good feature if you’re looking for something that you may not understand cat is from the UK so she also gives a UK versus us glossery so obviously baking beans in the UK we call them pie weights here so she’s going to give some of those examples there which is great rules for adapting yeasted bakes and breads this I’m very excited.
About because as we know bread are just gluten-free breads are just crazy crazy rules all over the place that’s probably the hardest thing I have trouble with so it may be what you have the hardest trouble with as well I know this is not one of my typical cooking or baking videos that I do here on the channel but I just wanted to share my excitement on.
This new book I will be doing some recipes out of this book we may dive a little bit into the dairyfree egg free thing because you guys are always asking about that in the comments below and sometimes I like to sneak those things out of recipes and see if Tera can catch on guys I want to thank you so much for watching for more information on this I.
Will leave it down in the description below and as always I hope to see you in the next video
