Imagine gluten-free foods that are as good - or better! - than their traditional, gluten-filled counterparts.

The thing is, flour is only one ingredient. Recipes aren’t about one ingredient, they’re about how multiple ingredients and techniques work together to create a whole. To merely swap out the flour for a standard mix of alternate flours is to ignore all of the ways supporting ingredients - and techniques - can be utilized to create something that you actually want to eat, rather than a mediocre facsimile of what you REALLY want. Every gluten-free flour out there has unique characteristics - protein content, flavour, elasticity, structure, absorption. As with all cooking, it’s all about balancing flavours and other properties... and proportion.
