Beer is also great
for marinating meats such as ribs or roasts. And, of course, you've heard of the
famous Beer Can Chicken. Rinse a soda pop can very thoroughly to remove all
traces of the soda. Fill 2/3 full with Bard's Beer. Position the beer
can into the cavity of the washed and seasoned bird and roast it upright in the
oven or on the barbecue grill until done. You can also buy special stands for
this purpose at discount stores and some grocery stores. It's a fun, creative
way to serve chicken.
Parchment Paper
versus Waxed Paper
Although parchment
paper and waxed paper can sometimes be used interchangeably, they are not the
same thing.
Waxed paper is actually tissue paper which is coated on
both sides with a paraffin wax. This wax helps the paper resist moisture and
grease. Waxed paper will melt or burn if it comes in direct contact with heat.
Parchment paper is paper that is coated with silicone,
making it moisture and grease resistant. It is commonly used to line cookie
sheets. Unlike waxed paper, it can withstand exposure to temperatures up to 420°F
in the oven, so it is used in cooking en papillotte, which means cooked
in parchment paper. The paper will brown when exposed to direct heat, but won't
burn. However, it should not be used above 420°F or under the broiler.
Both waxed paper and parchment
paper may be used in the microwave and to line the bottom of cake pans to make
it easier to remove gluten-free cakes which have a tendency to stick.
Buffalo Hot Dogs
With summer just
around the corner, don't you just crave a juicy hot dog on the grill? The
Buffalo Guys have a whole line of buffalo products, including gluten-free hot dogs. They're
available at
www.thebuffaloguys.com.
You'll find recipes
for gluten-free hamburger buns (which can be shaped instead into hot dog buns
since both require the same type of dough) in my books Special Diet Solutions
and Wheat-Free Recipes & Menus. With July 4th just around the
corner, you'll want a big supply of dogs and buns.
Graduation and
Wedding Time
It's time for
weddings and graduations. Wondering what to serve? There are many menus in
Gluten-Free Celebrations and Wheat-Free Recipes & Menus—both by
Carol Fenster, Ph.D.—that tell you exactly what to serve for these special
occasions so everyone can join in the fun.
Special Diet
Solutions and Gluten-Free Celebrations Soon Out of Print
On June 30, 2005 my two books---Special
Diet Solutions and Gluten-Free Celebrations---will be out of print. They will be replaced by one book
called Cooking Free: 220 Recipes for People with Food Allergies and Multiple Food Sensitivities
by Carol Fenster, Ph.D., from Avery, a division of Penguin Putnam. The new book
won't have ALL of the recipes from both books, so if you were thinking of
getting a copy at my web site do so before June 30, 2005.
Everything You Ever Wanted to
Know...... New Booklets Help Us Live without Gluten, Dairy, or Eggs
My new on-line, 20+ page booklets are
available at www.savorypalate.com.
They are jam-packed with information you won't find in my books and answer many
questions you were afraid to ask or didn't know you should ask. The
booklets are priced at $6.95 each and can be downloaded instantly, rather than
waiting for them in the mail. They are continuously updated as I learn new
information so they are always current.
