Steps:
- In a deep cast iron skillet, heat 3 inches of oil over medium-high heat until it reads 320°F on a deep-fat thermometer.
- Cut the potatoes into ⅛-inch slices and fry, parcooking the chips for 2 to 3 minutes. Place on paper towels to cool completely. Increase the temperature of the oil to 350°F and fry the chips a second time for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown.
- Don't have time, you can use frozen steak fries instead of fresh potatoes.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the gluten free baking mix, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt, and the Old Bay Seasoning. Add the egg yolks and beer and whisk until a smooth batter forms. Set aside.
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. If the fillets are large cut into 1-inch strips. Dredge the fish strips in the cornstarch and dip into the beer batter. Allow the excess batter to drip off and lower into the hot oil. Cook the fish for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown, and serve with tartar sauce.

GLUTEN-FREE CHICKPEA GNOCCHI
How to make fluffy ricotta gnocchi that's also gluten-free? The secret is chickpea flour! These tender Italian dumplings are a cinch to make -- zero rolling, shaping or resting time required. It's great fun to pipe the dough into the pot; if you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with water and salt generously. Tie a piece of butcher's twine tautly from one handle to the other across the center of the pot. Bring the water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, nutmeg, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the chickpea flour and mix until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky. Do not add any more flour or overwork the dough, as this will make it tough.
- Fit a large pastry bag with a large round tip, about 3/4 inch wide. Alternatively, snip one corner of a large resealable plastic bag with scissors to create a 3/4-inch-wide opening. Fill the pastry bag with the gnocchi dough; set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium-low heat until foamy, 2 to 4 minutes. Continue to cook, swirling the pan often, until the butter is light golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the sage and cook until the butter is toasty brown (similar in color to graham cracker crumbs) and the sage is crisp, about 1 minute more. Remove from the heat.
- Holding the pastry bag over the boiling water, lightly squeeze the bag to release a 3/4- to 1-inch piece of dough, then rub it across the string to "cut" it off. Continue until you have made about 15 gnocchi. Cook until they float to the top and are warmed through, 60 to 90 seconds. Do not walk away from the pot or overcook them; the lack of gluten in the chickpea flour makes them very tender, and they will fall apart if boiled for too long. Transfer to a serving bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Continue with the remaining gnocchi dough (you will have about 4 servings).
- Spoon some of the butter and sage mixture over each bowl and serve warm.
GLUTEN-FREE FISH AND CHIPS
Whether you eat gluten-free or not, this will probably be one of the best fish and chips you've ever eaten. I know that's a bold statement, but I stand behind it. The Fries are extra crispy but fluffy inside. The fish is tender with a light and crispy, flavourful batter. Oh, and did I mention that it's gluten-free?

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, dill, salt, pepper and lemon zest. Mix well.
- Add the egg and soda water. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Put the batter in the fridge for 20 minutes before using it.
- Dredge the cut fish in the remaining flour, shake off any excess.
- Dip the fish in the batter, and fry two to three pieces at a time in a deep fryer or high-sided pot at 365°f. Fry for about 7 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Serve right away.
- Wash the potatoes with a brush under cold running water.
- Cut the potatoes into rectangles about 2 cm (3/4 of an inch) wide and the length of the potato.
- Put the cut potatoes in a pot, and rinse with cold water until the water runs clear. Fill the pot with water, add a big pinch of salt, and bring to a boil on high heat.
- Cook the potatoes until they just start to break when poked with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes and spread them out onto a cooling rack. Let the potatoes sit for about 10 minutes.
- Fry the potatoes in batches on 325°f until they just start to turn golden brown. This will take between 5 to 7 minutes. Shake the excess oil off the fries and return them to the cooling rack. Allow the potatoes to cool to room temperature before frying again.
- Turn the heat up on the oil until it reaches 165°f.
- Fry the fries again for about 5 minutes or until a deep golden brown. Drain, and toss in a medium mixing bowl with a big pinch of kosher salt. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right fish: White fish like cod, haddock, or pollock work best for fish and chips. They have a mild flavor and a firm texture that holds up well during frying.
- Make sure the fish is fresh: Fresh fish will have a shiny, iridescent skin and a mild, briny smell. Avoid fish that has a dull, slimy skin or a strong, fishy odor.
- Use a light batter: A heavy batter will make the fish greasy and soggy. Use a batter made with chickpea flour, cornstarch, and water. The batter should be thin enough to coat the fish evenly, but not so thin that it runs off.
- Fry the fish at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for frying fish is 350°F. If the oil is too hot, the fish will cook too quickly and the batter will burn. If the oil is too cold, the fish will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the fish, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the fish will not cook evenly.
- Drain the fish on paper towels: After frying the fish, drain it on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Conclusion:
Gluten-free chickpea flour fish and chips are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your fish and chips turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this recipe a try!
