Gluten Free Cookbooks and Resources

Sometimes, one of the most difficult things about following a new diet is finding good recipes. I know that when I was diagnosed in 1991, the options were extremely limited and baking was pretty much out of the question. Cooking was tricky, because it required first finding a recipe that appealed and then tweaking it to suit a gluten free diet. The options for ingredients for breading, pasta, breads, flours to thicken sauces...well, the list goes on and on....was extremely difficult.

Now, we have so many great options! How lucky we are! Trying new recipes and especially finding great cookbooks is a joy!

Here are some of my favorite cookbooks and resources:

Gluten Free on a Shoestring Quick and Easy by Nicole Hunn she also has a great blog http://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/ and she is on Facebook as well. I follow her on both 
and I enjoy reading new recipes often.

The famous New York City bakery Babycakes has also come out with a couple of great cookbooks!

They are MOSTLY gluten free and they specialize in vegan goodies as well. If you are lucky enough to 

have one of their locations, then you are probably familiar with their goods. They have locations in 

NYC, LA, and Vegas as well as some Disney locations, I believe. I have 2 cookbooks by the owner, Erin 

McKenna.

Babycakes Covers The Classics

I love the Living Without magazine. It covers several allergies and even has occasional coupons. It's a 

great resource for beginners

A wonderful book that I highly recommend for newly diagnosed Celiacs is called Celiac Disease A Hidden 

Epidemic by Peter Green, M.D. and Rory Jones.  I believe this book is a MUST HAVE for Celiacs 

because it dispels many myths associated with gluten intolerance and Celiac Disease and clarifies a lot 

of information.
