[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don’t bake for a celiac in your home if you use wheat flour for other things. Wheat flour gets airborne and it’s hard to avoid cross contamination no matter how well meaning you are. Please just buy them at a dedicated gluten free bakery.

Seconded. It's really hard to cook truly gluten free until you're in it. (E.g., did you realize you wouldn't be able to use your wooden spoons, you'd probably need to open a new bag of sugar, you can't just wash your baking pans and plan to use them ...?) Better just to order them something fun - there are great bakeries that ship nationwide if there aren't any good ones local to you/your friend.

That said, it's very nice of you to try -- you're a good friend for wanting to help them navigate the holidays with this new (and significant) food restriction.[/quote]

I think this varies by person. My celiac friend has been very happy when I bake for her (and in fact has some pending requests for cakes) I don't put any spoons or measuring cups that held flour in my sugar bin with my normal baking, so that is not a concern, and I always thoroughly wash everything before cooking anything for a person with allergies. I only use metal spoons or mixers regardless and go over them with near boiling water just in case.  [/quote]
