Actually a couple will do, make a great gift for my dad for his birthday and Christmas. He's a great chef, so skill level doesn't matter. He's been to cooking school and even owned a resturant, but stopped when he moved.

I looked at amazon .com and there are so many.

In my opinion the best cookbook is Annalaise Robert's Gluten Free Baking Classics. Amazon carries it for 11.53 and it is a WONDERFUL cookbook. Everything I have made turns out perfect and gets rave reviews.

My favorite is Special Diet Solutions by Carol Fenster. It has various food allergy, gluten free choices for each recipe. So if you can't have one of her ingredients she suggests another. Everything we have made from it is just delicious! Enjoy!

The one I reach for most is "The Gluten Free Kitchen" by Roben Ryberg. Good, everyday, straightforward recipes :)

My favorite cookbooks are the ones by Bette Hagman, the gluten free gourmet. However, I must add that if your father is already a trained chef, he should have no problem converting his old recipes to gluten free status. I use the same flour blend for everything I make and I often use glutenous recipes and just sub my flour blend for all-purpose flour. I don't think I've had a major flop in almost a year, ever since I started using normal recipes again. Perhaps, if he's newly diagnosed, the yellow and black dummie's guide would be best, It's called something like Living Gluten Free for Dummies. That book is excellent for someone new to the diet.

Bette Hagman's The Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Fast & Healthy is my absolute favorite.

Angie, what's your all purpose blend?

As to the original question: I have Annalise Roberts Baking Classics, Roben Ryberg's Gluten Free Kitchen, Sheri Sanderson's Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food for Kids and Carol Fenster's Wheat Free Recipes and Menus. I have certain recipes from each that I rely on. I also have Bette Hagman's GFG Bakes Bread, but don't use it that often unless I need bread for stuffing or something (Ty won't eat bread).

Rebecca Reilly's "Gluten Free Baking" - she's a french-trained pastry chef. . .and mom to a celiac. Her recipes are flawless and so good that my family regularly tries to stop me from eating them. . .

I use Bette Hagman's rice flour blend: 3 parts white rice, 2 parts potato starch, 1 part tapioca starch... I add approximately 1 teaspoon xantham gum per 1 to 1-1/2 cups of flour blend. It depends on what I'm making. I've found that my pre-gluten-free recipes all turn out about the same when using this blend. Sometimes they even turn out better.

Thanks so much. I'm gonna see what barnes and nobles has and flip through before I order, not sure whether I'll use Amazon or not.

The dummies one he has, I got him as a joke, becuase we tease him that anything new he needs the dummy books.

Robyn Ryberg's is excellent because it uses simple, easy to find ingredients and everything I've tried has tasted great. And she's a wonderful person. The book's inexpensive and well worth it.

Nancy Baker has just released a revised edition of Globally Gluten-Free (2006 edition). She is the wife of a diplomat and has recipes from around the world - french, spanish, greek to name a few. She and her son are Celiacs.

Sorry, I just get excited!

Betsy - how cool! What publishing company did you use?

Just a small local company - not a "real" publishing house or anything. But every time I look at them I'm shocked that I DID THAT! I mean, I make all the recipes all the time, but it's really impressive to me to see them in print!

I'm funny . ..

Oh I totally understand your excitement. I'm getting my masters in Publication Management, so I was just interested from that sense. Did you print a set amount of copies? Print-on-demand? Are you selling copies?

Sorry if I'm being nosey :P

(or living vicariously through you!)

Nope . . . not nosey at all! We printed 1000 copies, and will order more when we sell enough. We are selling copies - on the internet and through local health food stores.

We've contemplated seeing about going through a "real" publisher, which would probably increase the advertising scope (amazon, etc.), but would probably decrease the amount we would make per book . . . so we're not sure we'll do it . . . but I guess things can always change, huh?

      Is it gluten?

      Thanks for the reply.

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
