If you’ve stumbled upon our site — welcome! — chances are, you’re either someone who loves cooking and baking, or you’re simply the designated food producer in your household. Either way, there’s work to be done, and if your job includes getting food on the table, you already know that mealtime isn’t always straightforward. These days, feeding people often means working around allergies — and gluten is one of the biggest allergies to bear in mind.
Whether you’re cooking for someone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, or just trying out a gluten-free lifestyle for wellness reasons, navigating recipes can be tricky. Luckily, increased awareness of food allergies and intolerances, a growing focus on gut health and the popularity of specialized diets like paleo and keto have made gluten-free cooking more common.
According to The New York Times, even airlines and college dining halls are now adjusting their menus to meet the needs of a more diet- and allergy-conscious population. The stats back it up: Globally, children are more likely than ever to develop food allergies, including to gluten-containing grains like wheat.
But gluten-free doesn’t have to mean difficult. That’s where this roundup comes in. We’ve pulled together 32 of our favorite tried-and-true gluten-free recipes, from comforting mains like pomegranate and honey glazed chicken to crowd-pleasing desserts, all designed to taste amazing and keep your ingredient list safe. Whether you’re cooking for one or feeding a crowd, you’ll find something here that everyone can enjoy, no gluten required.
