A gentle reminder: All of these recipes are inherently gluten-free. However, because manufacturers differ with regard to the ingredients they choose to include in their products, we urge you to examine carefully all food labels to make sure there's nary a trace of anything untoward in that particular brand of chocolate, fish sauce, soy sauce, or what have you. Consult your health-care professional with any questions.
