Welcome to the Cookbook Converter

or:
Entry the First

I love cookbooks. More than that, I love writing in the margins of cookbooks. I guess ultimately I love a cookbook that feels lived-in and you can tell flipping through its pages it's been used to provide countless meals and lasting memories to the people it's fed.

Not surprisingly, I also love food and the two of us had a rapturous affair until I found out that I can't digest gluten or dairy. I hit a low enough low to literally have a tantrum over the unfairness of it all but I am happy to report I have emerged from the depths with a newfound dedication to renew my love of food and cookbooks and writing in cookbooks.

I'm here to learn freedom through discipline (that's another story) and also how to successfully convert the recipes in a chosen cookbook into gluten- and dairy-free (GF and DF) meals. If you're here, I assume it's to expand your GF/DF cooking options or maybe to look at the pictures (in which case, do come back as this particular post doesn't offer you much). Whatever the reason, welcome. May we all learn from my failures and successes.

Up next, picking the cookbook!
