My first few months gluten-free were pretty typical. A few months after I went gluten-free, I got pregnant for the first time. A new diet and a new pregnancy were not a good mix for me. I was starving! I had not figured out the gluten-free thing yet at all. My husband and I bought the Bette Hagman cookbooks, but were too scared to embark on the adventure of gluten-free cooking yet. My mom, sensing my despair, came and stayed with me for a few weeks. She began to cook with the “exotic” flours and slowly I began to feel good again. Eating those comforting foods eased my morning sickness-thank goodness. One of our favorite recipes, Swedish Apple Torte, was from Bette Hagman’s More From the Gluten Free Gourmet.
Sea, over at Book of Yum, organized this tribute to Bette Hagman.
I would like to thank Bette Hagman for giving me the confidence to learn to cook gluten-free.

That looks SO good. I have to try making that one.
SM-
This recipe is great because it does not require a mixer and it only calls for rice flour and no xanthan gum! Simple!
I am on this one then!!
Two years now? This was so good! Remember when I surprised you with this after work? It is also delicious the next morning with coffee. Something about the texture made my mouth water. Note to all: I enjoyed reading her cookbook (it was like a textbook for me) and my first experience baking gluten free was actually a RAVE!
Mom- This was fabulous. Second only to the Impossible German Chocolate Pie in that same cookbook.
