Sarah's GF Kitchen

Real GF Cooking,
From a Real Kitchen

Hi, I'm Sarah. In 2022, I figured out I was gluten intolerant — and simply removing gluten from my diet made a huge difference. Since then, I've spent my time figuring out how to cook food I actually want to eat. This is where I share what works.

Cooking GF should feel like cooking — not a science experiment

In 2022, I started noticing that gluten was making me feel terrible. Once I removed it from my diet, the difference was immediate and significant — more energy, less bloating, just feeling normal again. What started as a dietary change quickly turned into a full kitchen project — testing every GF flour, every technique, every workaround. Some were disasters. Some were revelations.

Now I share only the recipes that passed the real test: would I make this again? Would I serve it to people who don't eat GF and not warn them first?

My go-to weapon is King Arthur Measure for Measure flour — it’s the most reliable 1:1 substitute I’ve found, and I use it in almost everything on this site.

The GF Baking Rules I Swear By

01
Always weigh your flour

GF flours are denser and pack differently than wheat. A kitchen scale is non-negotiable — a "cup" can vary by 20g and ruin a bake.

02
Let the batter rest

GF flours need time to hydrate. Resting muffin or pancake batter for 5–10 minutes before baking makes a noticeable difference in texture.

03
Don't skip the xanthan gum check

King Arthur Measure for Measure has it built in. If you use a different blend, check the label — some don't, and you'll need to add it.

04
Room temperature eggs and dairy

Cold ingredients don't emulsify as well. Pull eggs, butter, and yogurt from the fridge 30 minutes before you start.
