Muffin Bake-Off

Tuba and I had a muffin bake-off today. Tuba baked these Apple Oatmeal Muffins replacing the 1 cup of flour with 1 cup of Thomasmehl and added extra milk by feel until the batter reached a nice consistency (the Thomasmehl dried out the batter). We used Bob's Red Mill GF Oatmeal we brought in from the states. The muffins had a nice sweet apple cinnamon taste and were favored by the kids and me over the blueberry muffins I baked following the Joy of Cooking recipe.

Getting Started - IG Zöliakie Restaurant List

One of the first places that we looked for gluten free friendly restaurants was the IG Zöliakie Restaurant List. They list isn't huge, only about 6 or so Zurich restaurants, but still helped us to get started. One of my hopes is that the blog can supplement this list.

Introduction

My partner was diagnosed with celiac disease a little over one year ago. We have been meaning to start a blog about our experiences and this is it. We are an international couple (CH / US) so we will probably be writing in both English and German.

We plan to post mostly about restaurant visits but will certainly add other tidbits (cooking, general thoughts etc...) as the blog progresses. Happy reading (and eating).
