New Gluten-Free Recipes by iCookbook App Launches

Whether you have Celiac Disease, a sensitivity to gluten, or are just looking to reduce the amount of gluten in your diet, Gluten-Free Recipes by iCookbook will make it easier to find and prepare daily meals with hundreds of gluten-free recipes handpicked by the iCookbook team of expert nutritionists.

Like its parent app iCookbook, Gluten-Free Recipes features detailed instructions with full-color photos, cooking tips and tools, information from experts on eating gluten-free, and voice activation for hands-free cooking.

Gluten is a protein in grass-type grains such as barley, wheat and rye. It is in products like bread, pasta and crackers, but can also turn up in unexpected places, like certain brands of chocolate, deli meats, vitamins, and even some kinds of toothpaste. An estimated 1 in 141 Americans struggle with an intolerance to gluten, also known as Celiac Disease, and yet 83% of those are either undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.

"Going gluten-free is a great way to add healthful ingredients into your cooking, such as buckwheat, millet, quinoa and more," says iCookbook Editor and Registered Dietitian Allison Zalay. "These nutritious high-fiber grains are good for anyone as they have shown to help combat chronic diseases, like heart disease, assist in weight control and of course, manage Celiac Disease and gluten sensitivities."

Every month, new recipes will also be added to the app as a free download, allowing users to update and expand their collection. Additional premium recipe packages will be available for purchase from the Gluten-Free Recipes in-app store, making it easy for users to stick to a gluten-free lifestyle.
