Hello, I am Balvinder from simpleglutenfreekitchen.

I was born, raised in India and now live in Richmond BC, Canada.

I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance in 2008 and severe anemia was the reason for testing. The idea of creating this blog came into being when later, I was recovering from a surgery and had lot of time to experiment in the kitchen. I always loved to create recipes from scratch and when my gluten free recipes were loved by my friends and (of course family), I thought of sharing them with others. So, here I am 2 and half years later.

I’m assuming almond meal is the same as almond flour, which I have on hand, will probably make this soon. thank you.

  Hi Jennifer, please accept my apologies for late response, I don’t get any notification if someone asks any question. Almond meal is coarser than almond flour. You can use it fairly interchangeably in baking, just keep in mind the texture would be slightly different if the recipe asks for almond meal.
