Members of the Celiac Support Groups of Waverly and New Hampton are selling a new cookbook, Let's Eat Gluten Free, to raise funds for celiac research.
Printed by G&R Publishing, the spiral bound cookbook features a collection of tried and true recipes that avoid the use of wheat, barley or rye flour.
People with celiac disease suffer intestinal damage if they eat foods made with these grains.
Currently, the only known cure for celiac disease is to eliminate these grains from the diet, but that can be difficult to do.
The local support groups meet several times each year to share good food, new recipes and the latest information about celiac research.
Support group member Betty Bast initiated the cookbook project to raise research funds and help others with celiac disease know that food can taste great without using wheat, barley or rye flour.
"Most of the recipes came from our support group members who are wonderful cooks and have spent long hours in the kitchen developing breads, desserts and recipes that substitute different flours for the offending grains," says Bast. "Our goal is to make the food taste as close to wheat flour products as possible."
Additional tasty recipes came from other celiac support groups and a Web site listed in the book.
"G&R Publishing was great to work with and the turnaround time from submission of recipes to final copies was fantastic,” says Bonnie Knapp, who typed and submitted the cookbook's recipes. “We're very excited to share this book."
The cost of each book is $15, plus $5 for shipping if necessary.
The cookbooks go on sale Sept. 6 at the Iowa State Celiac Convention at Cedar Valley Community Church in Waterloo.
Various recipes will be prepared for tasting during the convention.
Let's Eat Gluten Free is also available from Knapp at (641) 816-5835.
