Absolutely, Laura, thanks for asking! We record all webinars and share the video plus additional information on our blog a few days after the event. Here is the link to The Perfect Allergy-Friendly Cake and Raspberry Compote Recipe video.
This is the video recording from the live webinar Kids With Food Allergies Foundation (KFA) presented on 11/28/12. Our guest speaker was Colette Martin, author of Learning to Bake Allergen-Free . We received almost 200 questions during the webinar. For those that were not answered, Colette will be responding on our blog soon. Thank you! In the meantime, here are some resources to help answer some of the common questions: How to Read Food Labels to Find Food Allergens (U.S.) Basic Recipe...
During the webinar, dozens of questions were submitted. The answers can be found on our new blog post: Baking Without Allergens - Your Questions Answered
I am new to this food allergy thing. My son also has EoE and has now been put on the six food elimination diet. i love to bake. to have purchased buckwheat flour, quinoa flour and tapioca flour. I want to make a flour blend that is also nutritious. I'd like to make his bread as well as muffins pancakes, and anything else a 2 year old might like. I'm not sure of the nutritionsl content of the king Arthur flour blend that you've recommended. I will definitely use that when making cakes etc,...
If coconut is safe, there is coconut aminos. Otherwise, I've had good success using umeboshi vinegar. It doesn't have the same depth of flavor (or color - it's purple which can be an odd color in some things), but give that salty "bite" to things. Another options is balsamic vinegar plus salt. That's a little sweeter though. If you can do fish, nuc mam (Vietnamese fish sauce) is another option.
The software company that we use to host our webinars experienced some issues with the audio during this class; additionally, poor weather was affecting audio from one of our guest speakers. We apologize for the audio quality; it was out of our control and so we could not fix it. The video above has better audio than the live class did, but there are still issues here and there. If you'd like, you can jump ahead to about minute 4 on the video to get to Colette--her voice came through nice...
Just an FYI, the cake mixes have xantham gum which is typically derived from corn. My son has a corn allergy. I emailed the company to ask what their xantham gum is derived from since the claim to be corn free and I have not gotten a response.
Hi, Tiffani, thanks! This is an older blog post, so it's good that you reached out to the company. My DD has a corn allergy as well, so I know how hard it is to find things that work for your family. Welcome! You'll find awesome support here!
Hi Tiffani - it's hard to find gluten-free products without xanthan gum. There tends to be a lot of controversy over the gums added to gluten-free foods. Xanthan gum is not technically derived from corn. It's extracted from a microbe that can be grown on a refined corn sugar as a substrate. The end product is highly refined and "shouldn't" have any intact corn proteins remaining. Everyone is different and there are some people who do react to xanthan gum. This gets really tricky with the...
Kathy, thank you SO much for that information! I am new to this so I did not know those details I had just been told to avoid gum in general because it was derived from corn! That actually makes me feel better about trying some products with xantham gum. I am looking for a box cake mix for my son’s first birthday and having the hardest time. Current allergies are corn, milk, egg, wheat, oat, soy, treenuts, peanut, chicken, and banana. Some of this may be false positives, but we are avoiding...
Each webinar video is approximately one-hour long. I recommend picking out a few topics and watching some of these during the winter break. There is a lot of great information in these videos for parents, grandparents, teachers, school nurses, and support group leaders.
This gives me hope that my child will eventually be allergy free and his life will not be in danger from a simple item of food! Thank you so much for this great article in layman terms so that we parents can understand it!
