Gluten Free Crab Cakes with Horseradish Sauce

I've been so busy with costuming stuff, it's been a while since I posted a recipe... and even longer since I've posted something gluten-free. Well, let's fix that 🙂

These Gluten Free Crab Cakes are everything you could want in a crab cake - flavourful, colourful, very quick and easy to make. The ingredients come together quickly, and cooking takes no time. The result is a meal that is suitable as a quick and relatively healthy weeknight meal... but also elegant and impressive for entertaining. With Valentine's Day coming up, this is a great recipe to have in your arsenal, for your gluten-free sweetie!

This is one of the recipes from my cookbook, Beyond Flour: A Fresh Approach to Gluten-Free Cooking and Baking! How many times have you come across a gluten-free recipe claiming to be “just as good as the normal version!”, only to wind up with weird textures, aftertastes, etc? Most gluten-free recipes are developed by taking a “normal” recipe, and swapping in a simulated “all purpose” gluten-free flour… whether store bought, or a homemade version. “Beyond Flour” takes a different approach: developing the recipe from scratch. Rather than swapping out the flour for an “all purpose” mix, I use various alternative flours as individual ingredients – skillfully blending flavours, textures, and other properties unique to each flour. Supporting ingredients and different techniques are also utilized to achieve the perfect end goal … not just a “reasonable facsimile”. You can order your copy from right here on my site, through Amazon, or through any major bookseller.
