From Our Family to Yours: Wilma's Gluten-Free Favorites

From Our Family to Yours: Wilma's Gluten-Free FavoritesIn 1989, after years of mysterious illness, Wilma Lee finally heard the words that would change her life: celiac disease. Suddenly, the recipes she had grown up with — her grandmother Anna's homemade vegetable soup, Sunday pot roasts on the family farm, the cookies her children begged for — were off-limits.From Our Family to Yours: Wilma's Gluten-Free Favorites is the cookbook she built over the next three decades. 142 beloved family recipes, every one rewritten to be safely, deliciously gluten free.Inside you'll find:18 chapters spanning everything from appetizers and beverages to comfort foods, candies, and desserts — including a full set of pies, cookies, cakes, and frostings made entirely without wheat.Three generations of heritage recipes: Grandma Gress' Famous Vegetable Soup, Mom's Old-Fashioned Fudge, Bob's Pancakes, Jean's Easy Lasagna, Aunt Sally's Oatmeal Cake, Grandma Lee's Pecan Pie, and three handwritten dill pickle recipes passed down through the family.Photography from Wilma's own travels — a cathedral in San Francisco, a quiet street in Assisi, a 1930s farmhouse in Montana, a farmer's market in Ireland — each tied to a chapter of the book.A thorough "Hints & Hidden Sources of Gluten" reference: every cereal, broth, sauce, condiment, and shared kitchen trap a celiac learns to watch for.Practical guides for everyday life: "Pampering Your Pantry" and "Dining Out" — what to keep on hand and how to order safely in Italian, Japanese, and Mexican restaurants.The family stories behind the food: Bill and Anna Gress on their Montana farm, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren whose names appear in the recipe titles, the friends and travel buddies who kept Wilma safe from Clifden to New Mexico.This is a celiac's family cookbook, but it's also a love letter to home cooking — warm, photographed, and built from the dishes families actually make. Whether you're newly diagnosed, cooking for a gluten-free loved one, or simply searching for honest gluten-free versions of the classics, Wilma's table has a place for you."She provides food for her family…" — Proverbs 31:15 Read more
