I’m only gluten free. Can I use the usual dairy items in place of the dairy free options?
Yes Chris you can
Thank you!
I ordered the GF/DF cookbook. Love it!
Oh thank you Chris for letting us know. I am so glad you are enjoying them
I have never heard of gluten free flour. Can you buy it at a regular grocery store?
Yes you can Linda but it is very expensive
I am wondering if I can bake this in a different kind of pan. I don’t have a Bundt pan or a tube pan but would like to try this. I have been loving all of your recipes and tips. Thank you so much!
Yes you can Marjorie. I don’t have any of those pans either so I put mine in a loaf pan.
