Hope these help get you started!

I like www.glutenfreegirl.com (there's a recipe index somewhere on the site).

Recipezaar is good too - just search for "gluten-free"

Click on gluten-free cooking, then on gluten-free cooking archives. She uses a home-made flour mix that is

6 parts brown rice flour (extra-finely ground if you can find it)

2 parts potato starch

1 part tapioca starch

Note: tapioca starch and tapioca flour are the same thing. Potato starch and potato flour are NOT the same thing, though!

If you can't find extra-finely ground brown rice flour, use 3 parts Bob's Red Mill brown rice flour and 3 parts white rice flour instead of the 6 parts finely ground rice flour.

She also has a wonderful baking book called Gluten-Free Baking Classics that has out-of-this-world recipes that are so good, you'll NEVER miss gluten again!

I made a recipe binder from the recipes in the recipe section of this site.

I also like:Wheat free,gluten free cookbook for kids and busy adults. Good basic reciepes.

Also you can go pick up any cookbook...you just need to covert any flours or gluten containg ingredients. It's not very hard..I was daunted at first.

I have a mix of gluten-free and reg cookbooks...taste of home and better homes and garden are my two fav reg books.

The three I use the most:

Roben Ryberg's The Gluten-Free Kitchen (I actually wore a copy out!). It's basic, but the recipes don't require a bunch of unusual ingredients, and that can be helpful at first!

Incredible Edible Gluten-Free Food for Kids by Sheri Sanderson. A lot of family favorites that are already pretty much gluten-free naturally, just tweaked a little. But when you are new, again, your head is ready to fall off so it's nice to have direction!

Gluten-free, Sugar-free cooking by Susan O'Brien. Even if you don't care about the sugar, this is a GREAT cookbook. Lots of yummy, unusual-but-not-weird recipes of the sort that you would serve company and parties. But easy to make!

How much do you like to cook? If you really enjoy food and making it, I can't say enough good things about gluten free girl - Shauna Ahern. Her website is Open Original Shared Link and her writing is just as amazing as her cooking.

Otherwise, I generally have pretty good luck just googling for whatever it is I'm after plus the words 'gluten free' - there's a ton of stuff to be found on the internet, but with some gluten free cooking - ESPECIALLY baking - you kind of have to mess with things a bit & tweak them to your own liking. Things like bread & pie crusts you'll want to try a few different recipes & flour combos to find the ones you like best, but Shauna also has all her other recipes from the gluten free girl website indexed - you can find them here: Open Original Shared Link

There's plenty of company-worthy recipes in there that no one would ever suspect were gluten free!

I'll share my the pancake recipe I've been playing with for awhile - it's not quite perfect, but pretty darn good - 1/2 c. rice flour, 1/4 c. sweet sorghum flour, and 1/4 c. coconut flour - discovered the coconut flour not too long ago & have been playing around with it. It soaks up a lot of moisture, but the taste is great - really nice for muffins & what not, particularly banana bread! - um, 2 tsp baking soda, pinch of salt, 1 tbsp of sugar - mix em all together in a bowl. then in a separate bowl beat one egg with a cup or so of milk - may have to add more later to compensate for the coconut flour - and a tbsp of cooled melted butter. then add wet to dry, mix until all just incorporated - lumps are ok - & it looks like pancake batter. if too thick, add more milk (I use vanilla soy milk, gives a nice flavor). Then do the regular pancake cooking thing in a nice hot buttered pan. Very yummy!

I love my Eating Gluten Free cookbook, they do have some great recipes. And their cookie recipes are awesome, especially the gingersnaps. I've been making a ton of cookies this week, and the gingersnaps are always the first to go.

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free...

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      By HAUS · Posted

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
