I love Italian food - it's my favorite cuisine to cook and to eat. How about you?

I love it too! I enjoy making pasta and homemade dough to make pizza.

Wow, you are good. Anything to do with dough or, in fact, baking in general - lets just say I'm terrible! I do love pizza mind you.

It's not too hard once you get the hang of it. All you need is yeast, flour, olive oil, and salt.

Yeah, but all that kneading! I'll stick to shop-bought bases and pastas. I find the dried pasta made in Italy are the best, unsurprisingly.

I want try pasta made with rice flour - I heard it's healthier.

I used to eat a gluten free diet and found that the only pasta which worked was made with quinoa. Now I stick to the Italian pastas I don't worry about it.

Cool, a gluten free diet is really restrictive though, you can't eat a lot of grains, yeah?

It can be very restrictive when you're eating out - its amazing where you can find flour! I find I'm ok now so long as I eat things containing organic wheat. There are quite a lot of grains which are ok, but some like wheat are nonos.

I wonder how gluten free beer tastes? It must be made from something other than the typical barley or wheat.
