Gluten-Free Blog in Reader's Digest

A few of my gluten-free readers were kind enough to bring to my attention how this blog, my "Gluten Free Blog", was mentioned in the March 2008 issue of Reader's Digest Magazine as a great resource for people with Celiac Disease, gluten-intolerance, and/or a wheat-allergy. I am definitely excited about this!

I have not seen the magazine article first hand, though I'm told that the link to this blog appeared in the Large-Print edition of Reader's Digest on page 65, and on page 75 in the normal-print version. My wife and I went to the store to get a copy, but for whatever reason, the store we were at still had the February edition on the shelf. I'll try again a few days, since I definitely want a copy for my collection.

I understand there was a section in the magazine about some of the common food allergies people are facing (wheat / gluten being one), and in reference to this topic the publication listed three blogs of note, with mine being the blog identified as a great Gluten-Free resource for Recipes and helpful science and diet information (and, the author pointed out one recipe here for Gluten-Free Pumpkin Risotto as an example of the free recipes I have online).

This would explain the recent increase in sales of my Gluten-Free and Wheat-Free Gourmet Desserts Recipe Book, which I certainly am always glad to see, especially when I don't do any advertising and I don't sell it through any large retail channels or book stores. So, thank you Reader's Digest for indirectly bringing added attention to my cookbook as well - I appreciate it!

As always, I hope anyone reading my blog is finding it to be a great resource for living within the confines of a gluten-free diet (or wheat-free diet if that is your thing), and that my various gluten-free recipes also help you make the transition to life without gluten in a delicious and satisfying way. Yes, it would be great if we could all eat wheat without any ill consequences, but in the absence of that option, a repertoire of great gluten-free and wheat-free recipes can make leading a satisfying and healthy life not just possible, but also quite enjoyable!
