Bread Book
I have tried making many gluten free loaves and was only successful when I came
across your recipes. I have recently made your chocolate bread recipe and it was a real hit. My daughter, who is celiac, loves the breads.

"Hi Sharon, I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for all the time and effort you have put into the development of your gluten free bread. Your successes mean that many people like myself are saved from having to start from scratch. Your blog is exactly what I was looking for and it opened my eyes to so many possibilities."
VL, Australia
"Well, my hat is off to you ... what great gluten-free sourdough! My husband couldn't believe the pizza and English muffins were gluten-free. Great texture and rise. Well done!"
The Chia Loaf was a big hit with everyone. By far, this is our favorite recipe. It toasted beautifully, the texture was nice (a bit dense and chewy, but in a good way) and the flavor was very mild.
My youngest son asked for seconds! EVERYONE is having it for breakfast again tomorrow.
Again, great job!

"Dear Sharon, Thank you for the recipes. I finally tried the rice/quinoa bread, and it was very nice. We did not try some of the other ones yet because there are numerous ingredients, and some are hard to find in Kuwait. I liked the bread very much."

"For years, I have been looking for a bread recipe using gluten free, dairy free ingredients. I have experimented myself for over 10
years and most things were thrown out. Thank you for your
bread recipe on Weston.A.Price. I tried it and it worked beautifully. It
is just like the one I buy here in Australia for $7 a loaf which is very tiny
for that price. Between my daughter’s intolerance and my own we can not afford this
bread anymore so it was good to have this recipe work out so beautifully."

“Thank you so much Sharon! Making gluten-free sourdough has freed me from the worry of developing a sensitivity to yeast. It has also opened the doors to tastier breads. I hadn't really even heard about gluten-free sourdough, let alone successfully attempted sourdough before going gluten-free. Now I can see a way to modify any yeast based recipe - this from a person who always needs to follow the recipe word for word.”

"So far all I have made is waffles and my family really likes them! I have used several different kinds of rice that I grind with my champion juicer. The color of our starter is a light purple...kind of fun! The waffles come out crunchy and chewy at the same time. I have been keeping a starter going on my counter and that is working out well.
Thank you for discovering that you can do a sourdough starter with rice flour!"
TM
Thank you for all the update recipe emails and the revised version of The Art of Gluten Free Sourdough Baking. I just wanted to let you know that the revisions are excellent, the book is much better organized and the recipes are very easy to follow now. I have been enjoying baking more then ever!
My gluten-intolerant daughter is so happy, but what's even greater is that her sister, who does not have the allergies, has been loving all the breads and muffins and now I don't have to have separate breads for all the different members of the family. We all love them and eat them! I have been looking for sourdough, gluten-free, yeast-free, dairy-free recipes for 3 years now, and I have to say, you are a God-send. So thank you!:)

Bread Class
"I am SO glad I took your class. It helped clarify a lot of things that I thought I knew but guess I didn't. And just watching how effortlessly you moved from one 'science experiment' to the next was helpful in that it has taken some of the anxiety out of my own tinkerings. You are such a pleasant and loving presence to be around, it was a real joy. Your enthusiasm and sense of wonder permeated the atmosphere of your home."
Peggy, Massachusetts
"Thanks so much!! I loved the class! I really thought we were a good group...everyone seemed to gel together well and I felt very at ease with everyone. I really think the things we learned in class will help me with my sugar addiction. I'm very excited about it all and have already made kombucha tea and sauerkraut. Plus I have beans, rice and nuts all soaking! The link to your Youtube sauerkraut video was extremely helpful. I watched the whole thing and found it to be great refresher!! My husband of course is laughing at me for boiling rocks and all, but he can make all the jokes he wants, I know it's what I need and I’m already seeing positive results after a long bout with chronic constipation.

HI Sharon,
Since the first day of eating these sourdough recipes, my body has said YES! Clearly I needed this bread even though I was just looking for the sourdough taste experience…Who knew?!
On the second day after eating the breads from class, I started to feel better. My starter is in the fridge and I have been dutifully feeding it. I am grateful that it doesn’t have to be walked.
I have to tell you something interesting: not one crumb has gone to waste here. Every time I get the sourdough breads out the dogs, especially those with digestive issues, come running. I haven’t been able to bring myself to part with even one bite of my precious stuff but I thought that if you ever have a recipe that doesn’t turn out fine enough for humans, let me know and I will buy it from you and let the dogs have it...They keep asking for it!
CB, Dog Trainer, Massachusetts
"A belated Thank You for the gluten-free class in October! The following week we feasted on the muffins and breads we baked in class and brought home. Since then my husband has been preparing, and both of us enjoying, the different recipes. The knowledge you imparted is enhancing our lives and we are grateful!"

Yesterday I served my husband one of the pancakes I came home with. As I was preparing it (toasting, buttering) I said "Now, this is not anything like a regular pancake, so try to just take it for what it is and see what you think." He ate it slowly and thoughtfully, and said "Gluten free pancake, gluten free cake, free cake.. let's call it a Free Cake!" And by the time he was done with it, he pronounced it Quite Good.
My son also ate it thoughtfully and said it was quite good.
These are shining accolades, given that there is no wheat
in them.
This morning, we had the bread, toasted, with eggs for breakfast. My visiting sister-in-law said it tasted like pudding (I'd cautioned her similarly that this was not anything like regular bread) and she ate two pieces. I really enjoyed working with you, Sharon. Thank you!"

“I recently took Sharon's one day gluten-free baking class and walked away totally enriched! I have to admit that I would probably not have tried gluten-free baking on my own since there is so much to learn that is subtle: not just science but experience-based too. Sharon walked us through all the steps, guiding us with our senses of observing, touching, and tasting dough to insure that we were on the right track.
Developing and sharing her gluten-free baking skill is a passion for Sharon, born out of her own struggle to achieve health. She has tested her recipes again and again and she brings a researcher's mind to perfecting what she
does.
With her low-key manner, she gently guided and encouraged us to master a new skill. And don't let me forget to mention what fun we had! I met a like-minded group of individuals who all were interested in health and all brought something to the table that was new and enriching.
Having gone through the process, I felt confident to try gluten-free baking on my own and have enjoyed great success. Even my husband, who was initially skeptical, started sneaking my gluten-free goodies for his own breakfast!”

Intestinal Recovery Class
I want to thank you so much for a great Intestinal Recovery class. It feels great to be empowered in the journey of healing oneself. I am looking forward to making all the recipes we made. I feel very blessed.
MI, Massachusetts
“Shortly after the birth of my son I felt completely zapped of energy. My allergies and asthma seemed to be worse than I could remember...my primary care wasn't able to help me as all my tests came back negative. After finding a physician that diagnosed me with a wheat and gluten allergy...Sharon was then a lifesaver!
I bought her cookbook and was successful in making yummy muffins-that gave me energy instead of making me sick-as did traditional muffins made with wheat. She was always easily available when I had questions and listened and was a wonderful inspiration when learning.
I also took her intestinal recovery class and was able to make my own kombucha too!!! I am slowly getting better and regaining my energy. I don't know what I would have done without Sharon's guidance!”
Susan, Massachusetts
"This class of Sharon's has helped me tremendously. I'm
trying to heal leaky gut, and it has given me many new
practical and easy food choices. I have noticed a
difference in my health since I started using some of
the foods she recommended, like Kombucha and amaranth."
MJB, Massachusetts
"Sharon's teaching transformed the way my family eats. We are now eating lots of healthy, raw, homemade foods, and everyone feels great! I highly recommend the Food As Medicine workshop."
Jane Lewis, Guelph, Ontario
"I LOVED Sharon's Intestinal Recovery Class. First, it was helpful to
know that she has suffered through a number of similar health issues
as I have like candida and food intolerances.
She shared with us how she overcame these issues with living foods.
Sharon taught us how to make living foods with delicious, gluten-free
recipes. We got to see how they were made and try them ourselves. One of the best parts of the class was the interacting with other participants who, like me, were working hard to improve their diet with healthful foods.
Sharon is a caring person who supplies her students with lots of detailed, helpful information that can be applied for life-long wellness."
Kathy Lynch, Massachusetts
Kombucha & Water Kefir Class
"Dear Sharon,
...my husband has been enjoying the kombucha and I can't tell you how many jars I have already made. And they are still going. My kombucha culture is big and fat in both jars! You would be proud of me!"
Yoriko, Massachusetts
