Hat jemand ein gutes Rezept für gluten- und maisfreie Zwetschgenknödel?

Ich kann leider weder Gluten noch Mais essen und habe außerdem immer wieder das Problem, dass die glutenfreien Knödel beim Kochen im Wasser auseinanderfallen.

Hat jemand ein bewährtes Rezept oder einen guten Tipp, wie der Teig stabil bleibt und die Knödel nicht zerfallen?

Can anyone share their experience with imatinib/gleevec? Please let me know the dosage you were/are on and any effects, good or bad.

Thanks!

This might be a tall order, but my partner and I love food, but as new parents we don't have a ton of time to make complicated dishes during the week.

Can anyone recommend a cookbook that has recipes that are:

1. Quick and simple

2. Not too many ingredients

3. Healthy

4. Still taste good

Prefer "Western" recipes due to soy allergies and midwestern palate (black pepper is spicy lol)

We are actually good cooks and have quite a collection of cookbooks, just no time for most of them at the moment. We want a go-to book that will work for us right now.

For context, cooking, hosting friends for dinner, and trying new restaurants used to be some of my favorite hobbies. I have been dealing with MCAS now for quite a few years and have only been able to eat max 5 foods for 3.5 years now. I am still obsessed with food, follow food-related content on social media, watch food travel shows, look at my cookbooks longingly... It sucks so much having a passion you are unable to engage with properly.

I do not know if this is healthy or if I should just cut all of this out of my life. It was such a part of my identity.

Anyone else experience this?

After spending some time in Czechia, I am convinced that Czech cuisine is highly underrated and I want to learn to make it at home. I know the internet has plenty of recipes, but I would like something physical to remind me of my time there, a cookbook in this case.

Can anyone recommend a Czech cookbook with the common traditional dishes? I cannot read the language, so in English would be great.

I found one called "My Bohemian Kitchen" by a British-Czech author, but I do not know if it is any good or not.

I find I can only wear super lightweight (usually titanium) glasses with thin temples. Otherwise they put pressure on the tops of my ears all day and it's unbearable. If the temples are on the thicker side they will also push my ears out (I guess because of soft cartilage?) which looks goofy.

It's pretty annoying. I just want to wear cool glasses

Anyone have suggestions on a cookbook centered around Minnesotan dishes? I'd like to give one as a gift to a foreign friend who loves cooking and is interested in Minnesota (my home state).

I have The New Midwestern Table by Amy Thielen, it's good but I don't find it super representative of MN home cooking.

I'm sure a Lutheran church cookbook would be most authentic, but I prefer something with better form factor since it is a gift.

Any suggestions?

I have a fairly large collection of cookbooks which I am trying to find a place to donate. They are all in good condition. Most of them are based around different regions or countries' specific cuisine so I thought maybe a library or other educational institution might like them, but I am unsure where to start.

Does anyone know of a place that might make use of something like this? I want them to go somewhere where they will be used.

Hi all,

I actually own this book (Strudels, Noodles, & Dumpings" by Anja Dunk), but I have a friend who admires it each time they come over. I'd like to get them a copy as a gift, but it seems impossible to find an unused copy for a book published only in 2018.

Has anyone seen a new copy at a local bookstore?

I really don't want to get them a pre-owned version, both because it is a gift and because they have an allergic/immune condition and dislike used books for health reasons.

Thanks for any leads

Does anyone know if the recipes in this cookbook are authentic, or if they are just the author's modern inventions using Russian ingredients and techniques? I am no expert.

Some are obviously traditional Russian recipes (Vatrushki, Blini, Pelmeni, etc.) but I am not sure about others (Braised Duck with Turnips, Veal Stew with Cherries, etc).

Here are a list of the recipes (ingredients shown but you can't see the actual directions)

I know it somewhat pales in comparison to other things we deal with - this condition has nearly taken my life on more than one occasion. But I feel genuine anguish over the thought that I will never eat so many things again. Cooking used to be one of my favorite hobbies and I still have a shelf of cookbooks, which only brings me sadness now.

I grieve the food-related experiences I'll never have, too. The idea that I will never be able to travel and try exotic foods from other cuisines or try a random restaurant. That I will never again be able to have a have a cocktail with my friends or toast with champagne on NYE.

Food is such an important part of the human experience. It all feels like too much sometimes.

I hope in the future there is a real cure for all of us.

My mother is in her mid sixties and the skin on her arms is very thin and fragile. However, she is not physically frail and always has wounds on her arms from carrying boxes, etc. because she is still fairly active.

She has never liked long sleeves and her arms are pretty sun-damaged as well.

Is there anything that can be done? Most of what I've read is just to use sun protection and keep them well moisturized. Curious if there is anything that can reverse a bit of the damage or thicken the skin a bit so it is less prone to tearing.

I feel a bit overwhelmed by all the options. Is there a type of neurofeedback that is scientifically best supported? I was considering trying LENS neurofeedback since there is one near me, but I don't know if this would be best. Any advice?

For reference, I have a dysregulated nervous system related to a chronic illness.

What are your plans for Midsummer this year?

Any special traditions in your family? Any unique customs local to your area?

Does anyone have either of these cookbooks by by Eva Helbæk Tram & Nicolai Tram? I'm interested, because I love outdoor cooking, but I am always a bit skeptical of cookbooks written by michelin star chefs.

Are the recipes actually practical or are they overly "Chef-y", with uncommon ingredients and techniques?

For context, I have POTS and a very severe case of MCAS (the worst most of my doctors have ever seen). I have previously lived in mold but I don't think I am right now (multiple inspectors did not find anything). My health did not improve noticeably upon moving out of mold and tossing most of my stuff.

However, many of my doctors insist I must have an ongoing trigger to have this level of mast cell reactivity. I don't know what it would be, though. I have already cut as many things out as I possibly can.

Personally, I don't believe the urine mycotoxin tests are very accurate at all. Is there a different test that will tell me for sure whether I am currently exposed or whether there are still mycotoxins within my body?

Has anyone tried and found them helpful for reducing reactivity?

Since MCAS is a neuroimmune condition, it would make sense that anything that helps regulate the nervous system could be beneficial.
