I was at Whole Foods this week for a cooking demo and book signing by Kim McCosker of 4 Ingredients. Kim McCosker and Rachael Bermingham started their cookbook series 4 Ingredients a little over 4 years ago. The concept is simple: hundreds of recipes with four or less ingredients. Recently, Kim and Rachael realized the need for a gluten free version and voila, here it is.
I love the concept of this book. The recipes are pretty basic, but sometimes that's just what you need to get dinner going. There are over 400 recipes in the gluten free version including condiments and dips, breakfasts, appetizers, light lunches, sides, mains, desserts, drinks, and recipes for kids.
It was fun to meet Kim at the event. She was very nice, engaging, and gave lots of tips. I was able to try her BBQ beef stir-fry, guacamole, chocolate covered marshmallows, and another dessert I don't remember the name of. I'm looking forward to trying the Chicken Tikka Masala made with just chicken, tikka masala paste, condensed GF tomato sauce, and plain yogurt.
The only question I had in the book was about the ingredient gluten free self rising flour. Apparently, this is something they have in Australia where Kim is from, but not really in the US. When I asked her about it, she told me to just add a teaspoon of baking powder to a regular all purpose gluten free flour blend to make it "self rising". Easy.
I've been in a bit of a cooking rut lately and I hope this book is just the jump start I need.
