General All Purpose Gluten Free Flour

General Purpose Gluten Free Flour

Soon after becoming Gluten Free, I quickly learnt how to make my own flour mixes. Now there are plenty on the market but I still like to use my own mix in my recipes.

Ingredients:

900 g white rice flour

400 g tapioca flour

250 g potato starch

1 tbsp. salt

2 tbsp. xanthan gum

Method:

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Transfer to a storage container.

Additional Notes:

The flour is best kept in a cool dry place. You can place it in your fridge for up to 6 months but make sure you take out what you need before you start cooking.

If you want you can change the mix to suit you and your dietary needs. Instead of adding 900 g of rice flour, you could add 450 g white rice flour and 450 g brown rice flour.

Are you allergic to rice? Add in arrowroot or millet flour. Try sorghum or buckwheat instead. This is the mix that suits my family and most of my recipes. I would love to hear how you change it to suit your needs.

Equipment Used:

Large mixing bowl

Spoon

Storage container.

Emma Alexander-Cook

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
