These are delicious!!!! I have several grandson's and a daughter with celiac disease. The boys are always asking for them. I've made them with seasoned gluten free bread crumbs which I added Parmesan cheese to. These are really a hit. They should be prepared ahead of time because the process is time consuming but worth the raves. You can not even tell that it is gluten free either.

These were fairly easy to make - did the dipping steps in the morning and froze the sticks until dinner time. The double dipping process was important. They were good and my requesting son really enjoyed them - he has really missed the gluten-filled ones. Next time will make the cheese sticks thinner and maybe try baking with a spray of oil - frying is too rich for my taste and too much of a nuisance. Thanks for a nice recipe!

I love cooking and always have. I learned how to cook as a young kid and I've worked as a prep cook for a catering company and for a restaurant though I am no longer working in that industry.
Being a food lover, it was an unpleasant surprise to develop major food intolerances within the past few years. I've been 100% gluten-free since 07/06 out of medical necessity and am cutting down on dairy and soy since they make me ill in large quantities. I'm also working on becoming kosher. So, you'll see reflected in my recipes my recent interest in developing recipes that are both kosher and suitable for people with food allergies, without sacrificing taste. And there's lots of good stuff in my cookbooks for those of you with no food allergies, too, of course!
My areas of specialty are gluten-free baking and cooking, dairy substitution, vegan and vegetarian dishes, and Jewish cooking.
