Michelle Darmody: Wheat free - but you would not know it

When baking for someone who has an allergy or who does not eat certain ingredients I often think it is better to find a recipe that is intended to be made without that ingredient.

Whether it be without wheat, eggs or dairy I like to discover recipes from around the world that were created without these ingredients in the first place. Using substitute ingredients is of course very possible, there are plenty of plant based butter-like spreads or wheat-free flours that work very well.
