My mother, at 94 years old, continues to enjoy baking. Among her classics is rice pudding. Simply prepared and delicious! Because I am gluten free, my mother often enjoys making this treat for me, and today I decided to make it as well! It was delicious!

I feel it is special to add her handwritten recipe….

Mangia!

Welcome to Elaine Cooks! This site is dedicated to sharing healthy and delicious gluten-free Italian recipes. As an Italian-American diagnosed with celiac disease in 2003, I’ve removed wheat, barley, rye and oats from my diet, and since then have developed a number of recipes enjoyed by my family and friends that I would like to share!

I live in New York City with my husband, Todd, our dog Dash, a border collie mix from Idaho, and cat, Luna. I have 3 children, Jack, a graduate student, and Ella and Gwynnie, both in college. We enjoy skiing, traveling and cooking together!
