About the book

Anyone who eats (or cooks) a gluten-free diet understands the struggles of avoiding gluten. In East Asian and Southeast Asian foods especially, gluten is hard to avoid: it's embedded in integral staples like soy sauce and gochujang and foundational foods like noodles and dumplings. But the struggle is over! In My Best Friend Is Gluten-Free, you'll find completely gluten-free recipes that celebrate a spectrum of Asian flavours. Inspired by her celiac husband and wanting to share the foods of her Chinese-Canadian upbringing with him, Jannell Lo set out to create gluten-free options for all her favourite recipes, plus some creative takes of her own. Designing flavourful and inclusive dishes let Jannell explore her own cultural identity through food in new and meaningful ways. The result: this cookbook, with chapters that include salads and fresh bites in Tossed & Assembled, satisfyingly saucy pairings in Nice with Rice, crispy stir-fries in Fried & Sizzled, and easy Sweet Treats with textural flair. My Best Friend Is Gluten-Free is exciting for all eaters, gluten-free or not, with: Gluten-Free Solutions to Asian Classics: For anyone feeling left out at restaurants, find GF answers to Canto-Style Mapo Tofu, Japanese-Style Curry, and Hot & Sour Soup; Barrier-Breaking Recipes: Cross culinary borders-think Thai, Chinese, Filipino-with Tom Yum Corn Chowder, Shanghai Stir-Fried Gnocchi, and Pavlova with Calamansi Curd inspired by Jannell's travels as a third-culture chef; Easy Everyday Meals for All Dietary Needs: Whip up weeknight wins like Rice Cake Soup, Chilli Miso Salmon, and Roasted Coconut Tamari Chicken with plant-based, vegetarian, dairy-free, and pescatarian options for many!; Menus for All Occasions: Serve your friends and family multi-course menus, like a cosy holiday feast, a Lunar New Year dinner, and even a sumptuous plant-based spread. With eye-catching illustrations and vibrant photos, My Best Friend Is Gluten-Free is an accessible and fun exploration of a world typically off-limits to gluten-free eaters. Finally, you can make your favourite Asian dishes at home.
