That was an old picture. I have a gluten intolerance and gave it up two years ago. It crept back into my diet over lockdown (pancakes mainly) and then I remembered why I stopped eating it so I'm almost back to zero gluten again
There are no decent substitutes.
I've made cake for coeliacs very successfully!!
Not discounting the symptoms you both get, but I had a lot of guests who were gluten intolerant, (so required a complete menu adjustment/change) but who would tuck into french bread because "it looks so lovely and just a little bit will be ok". If a little bit will be ok, WTF am I changing the whole menu (down to stock cubes) to account for your intolerance!!!
BUT - the two serious coeliacs that stayed didn't actually believe that my cakes for afternoon tea were gluten free. Both their hubbies were testers and reckoned they could tell - they couldn't!!!
So, certainly for some, there are things that work!!!
I'll try and get some gluten free flour next time I'm down the mountain and see if I can make pastries with it that taste as near the same as possible!!
