1,000 Gluten-Free Recipes

I know a lot of Tulsa World readers struggle with gluten-free diets. Often, people will write me wondering if anyone out there has a good recipe for a gluten-free piecrust, chocolate cake or any number of other "off limits" foods.

Fortunately for those with celiac disease and other gluten intolerances, there are lots of good gluten-free cookbooks and gluten-free products at grocery stores.

The most comprehensive book I've seen is a new one called "1,000 Gluten-Free Recipes" by Carol Fenster. Carol is a foodie who, 10 years ago, walked out of her doctor's office with the words "Don't eat wheat," ringing in her ears.

Fenster's book is great, covering everything from gingerbread to spaghetti and meatballs.

The 720-page book is $35 and is published by Wiley.

You can find the recipe for these gluten-free no-bake cookies in Fenster's book.

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup gluten-free rolled oats (Bob's Red Mill is one brand)
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons finely chopped peanuts
2 tablespoons ground flax meal
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or enough to roll 36 balls)

1. Place the peanut butter, honey and vanilla in a food processor, and pulse a few times to blend. Add the oats, cornstarch, peanuts, flax, xanthan gum and salt, and process until the ingredients are well blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and process again.

2. With wet or lightly oiled hands, shape the dough into 24 balls, each 1 inch in diameter, and place on a sheet of wax paper to firm up. Roll in powdered sugar. Store, tightly covered, up to 2 days.

Food Writer Nicole Marshall Middleton joined the Tulsa World in May 1993 after graduating from Oklahoma State University. She has covered crime, city government and general assignment beats during that time - but mostly crime. But when she isn’t at work, Nicole is a devoted food hobbyist. She enjoys meal planning and cooking with her husband, Steve, every day of the week and on holidays it’s a family affair. When the opportunity to become the food writer at the Tulsa World presented itself in the summer of 2011, Nicole jumped at it. She is excited to explore a new side of Tulsa and make the transition from crime to cuisine. .
