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.

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

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?

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      Celiac getting dentures

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
