04/23/02 		I am having a hard time finding the above three items here in Albuquerque. I would like to try bread machine recipes using other flours other than wheat-based flours.

I've tried the website of Wild Oats Market and a few other health food places, but none of these stores seem to have such items.

Do you have any suggestions that would help me?

04/23/02 		Hi, nice to "see" you again.

These are widely used in wheat-free recipes and the celiac sites on the web which are for folks with bad wheat allergies, will give the most help and links. Start with celiac.com and go from there. The other place is, sometimes in the big natural foods groceries such as whole foods, kanthan gum and guar gum are in the vitamin and supplement departments in vitamin size jars. Good luck and happy baking.

02/09/03 		Almond flour is just really finely ground blanched almonds. You caN MAKE IT YOURSELF, A LITLE AT A TIME IN THE BLENDER. iT IS USUALLY USED IN eUROPEAN NUT-BASED CAKES, AND CAN SOMETIMES BE OBTAINED AT FINE eUROPEAN-style bakeries.

Hope this helps and it turns out yummy- Ellen

I tried the millet bread (gluten-free) while in Florida and would like to order from the DeLand Bakery. Have sent them numerous e-mails, but no response. Do I have a problem? Why do they have an e-mail address if they don't respond. I was told they ship orders to other states. Thanks for any help you can provide.
