From the Kitchen – my first venture into gluten free baking

I made my first venture into gluten-free baking this weekend. I find the whole gluten-free craze to be largely nonsense, especially when people would ask us in the meat department if a steak was "gluten-free".  However, a friend has muscular dystrophy and prefers to avoid gluten.
