| 4081.2 | rice noodles are really tasty | WRKSYS::RICHARDSON | | Wed Feb 07 1996 16:51 | 13 |
| I am really fond of rice noodles of all sorts - not that any of them
are especially spaghetti-like, though! I also like bean-thread
noodles, which are made from mung beans (little green beans used to
make bean sprouts). You can sometimes find potato-flour noodles, at
least around Passover time when you can buy fresh ones frozen - they
are not spaghetti either but they are pretty good (especially compared
to matzoh-meal noodles, ugh - of course those have wheat in them anyhow
so you won't be tempted to even try them). I don't know if Japanese
buckwheat noodles also contain wheat or not - best ask. Check out an
oriental grocery store. You could make a linguine-like dish with the
thin rice noodles.

| 4081.3 | Health food store, different pastas | HOTLNE::CORMIER | | Thu Feb 08 1996 10:02 | 6 |
| Health food stores usually carry pastas that are made with diferent
ingredients. I typically buy jerusalem artichoke pasta. I don't know
if they are totally wheat-free, but it would be a good place to start.
They also carry non-wheat flours, so if your friend has a pasta maker
or lots of time on her hands, she could make her own?

| 4081.4 | A suggestion | RECV::JYOTHI | | Thu Feb 08 1996 16:47 | 17 |
| Hi,
I know what you asked for was wheat substitutes.
But, thinking about it, rice is a very good carbohydrate source too.
There are a lot of easy ways of making rice into delicious main courses
without having to prepare an additional dish that goes with it (like a
curry or something)
If your friend is into rice (like me...can't live without it :-), I
could post some recipes.

PS: Be warned though, that these will be Indian recipes and will
have some amount of spice in them, which can be easily adjusted
without serious loss of taste!

| 4081.5 | keep em coming | MPGS::HEALEY | Karen Healey, VIIS Group, SHR3 | Fri Feb 09 1996 08:39 | 15 |

Thanks for the tips so far. Turns out that my daycare provider
does NOT have this wheat allergy (HURRAY). It was a parasite!
However, as I stated in the base note, her daughter is allergic
to wheat so keep your tips coming since her daughters allergy
affects what the whole family eats regularly.... she prefers not
to cook different meals EVERY night of the week.
re: rice
I think they might be sick of it... I know they eat alot of it!

| Look for the book Gulten-free Recipes by Betty Hagman. She has written
at least two books on hte subject.

| If Corn isn't an issue there is corn pasta that cooks up very close to
wheat pasta. there is also quinoa pasta, but it takes a bit of care,
as it will fall apart in the range between al dente and cooked the way
most kids like it.
oats, buckwheat, wild rice, millet and other grains make a very
acceptable substitute for rice when you are sick and tired of it.

| 4081.8 | barley casseroles? | WRKSYS::RICHARDSON | | Tue Feb 13 1996 12:11 | 8 |
| I like barley a lot - but it takes a long time to cook. I like to make
a casserole with a bunch of sauteed vegetables, maybe some cooked meat
of some sort, barley, and chicken broth - cakes for about an hour and a
half, though, which is a long time to wait for supper on a work night
even though you don't have to do anything to it during that time except
add more broth if it gets too dry before the barley is cooked.
