Easy Meal Cookbooks?

Does anyone have any suggestions for easy meal cookbooks that contain mainstream ingredients? I am getting very tired of gluten-free pasta and sauce. I have found a lot of gluten-free crockpot recipes. But I'm still looking for other things.

(I hate to cook - or clean up afterwards).

Something like this would make a great Christmas gift. :)

Cindy--If you haven't already, scroll down to Cookbooks and Info in new topics today. In there is a cookbook for fast and healthy (I think that was it) gluten free meals. Other cookbooks listed there, too.

When on there, click on "products".

Two great cookbooks I use are: No wheat no problem by Dr.Corrie Ann Materie and The Best Gluten Free Family Cookbook by Donna Washburn & Heather Butt. :)

Here are two books that I really enjoy. They are very easy meal cookbooks.

Wheat-free, Gluten-free, Reduced –Calorie Cookbook by Connie Sarros

If you tired of your own gluten free cooking Connie has some fabulous everyday meal ideas that help you get into the swing of preparing gluten free meals that are tasty ,but interesting. She mostly focuses on meals breakfast, lunch and dinner in this book has a few desserts. Your family will never even know they eating gluten free. Mexican Chicken, Thai rice ball salad, Grecian Stewed Baked fish, Grecian Dilled Shrimp, Jamaican chicken, Finnish Seafood soup etc.

The tolerant cook: The Allergy and food intolerance cookbook by Tish Richardson Phd www.intoleranz.com.au

Tish is an Australian author. She has written a fantastic cookbook you won’t have a boring meal. This cookbook makes your tastebuds come alive. Who said you ever had to have boring tasteless food if you had a number of food allergies. This book accommodates gluten, dairy, egg, peanut, soy, garlic, and onion free cooking. If you only need to follow a gluten free diet and have no food allergies this book is still a real bargain. I have used many of her food suggestion like bonito flakes in other gluten free recipes. It is really difficult to choose a few favourites in this book as so many of the dishes are a real treat to your tastes buds. The recipes are easy to follow even a beginner could easily follow the recipes with great success. If she brings out another book I will happily buy it. She is really talented and very practical with her advice. The ingredients are also really easy to get hold of. She has some great suggestions for sauces that can be used in everyday life. She has a lovely selection of recipes for meals and desserts She really puts the joy back into cooking. Try the chicken tangine, toasted sesame –seed coated avocado and almond balls, wonton, mezzelune and ravioli wrappers, sesame and tahini cake, quandong, lemon and roast almond flan, BBQ leg of lamb ‘marinade’, Vietnamese mint pesto, Laksa paste, prawn & pumpkin curry and many more.

PS: I’m in no way financially connected to the selling of the above books. I just enjoy baking and collecting cookbooks. :lol:

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
