Recipe Books Suggestions

Hi everyone

I am pretty new to the gluten free diet and have had both hits and misses with recipes, which I can tell is just pretty normal when trying to substitute for flour. I have been looking at various books and really can't tell without actually trying out the recipe (which can get pretty expensive when they don't work out). I would really appreciate some suggestions of one actual book that other people had a lot of success following.

THANK YOU!!

I like the web site : www.eatingglutenfree.com. So I believe Bette Hagman's recipes are tested to perfection. She has several cookbooks out. I recently bought "The Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Easy". I tried Easy Pizza p. 241, I think its the best crust I've tried so far ( I add spices). That's all I tried but the rest sound good. I also bought Carol Fensters's Gluten Free Quick and Easy b/c I wanted to try recipes with sorghum. Its healthier than rice flours and not grainy. I tried the waffles, Double choc. chip cookies and scones. All three are my new favorites. So I hope the rest will be good too. I was going to buy a coconut book but I learned there is alot of eggs in the recipes so I'm not now. I don't like the eggy taste. But I will still use coconut flour in recipes, it only takes a little bit and its super healthy. Just some tips to keep in mind.

I would suggest going to the library. When my dd was first diagnosed, I checked out every gluten-free cookbook they had. I found that we liked some recipes, but not others. I did buy one cookbook called Incredible Edible Gluten-Free Food for Kids by Sheri Sanderson that has some great recipes. I've liked some Bette Hagman recipes. A lot of my recipes have come from this board or other sites. Carol Fenster has a website at www.savorypalate.com That is my daughter's favorite for pizza crust and banana bread.

I love Annalise Roberts Baking Classics. Recipes for a real wedding cake , ice cream sandwiches & much more.

Roben Ryberg has a new book just coming out on Amazon that folks are raving about.

I'm sure you will get lots of different answers since people's tastes are so different. My current favorite gluten-free cookbooks are Open Original Shared Linkby Elizabeth Barbone and Open Original Shared Linkby Annalise G. Roberts. I have a few Bette Hagman (RIP) cookbooks, but never make anything out of them. They are more for reference for me. Her "bakes bread" book is good, though. I had nothing but failures from the last Roben Ryberg book, despite being an experienced gluten-free baker, so I'm hesitant about her new one. But it is getting a lot of buzz over on the Delphi forum. Now that I know the ropes a bit, the best things I make are modified from my good old fashioned Better Homes & Gardens cookbook with the red and white cover.

Whenever I see a new gluten-free cookbook I want to try, I always check it out from the library first and make a few recipes out of it. That way I can see if it is to my taste and not buy a cookbook I will never use.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone... Since I am new to it all, I have never even heard of these authors so it is good to get a good starting point. I have been looking at library books but it is good to get specific suggestions since it is so disapointing and expensive to just randomly try out recipes that may not work. So thanks again, your suggestion were very helpful

She has a few good recipes up there that help with my sweet tooth cravings. But Bette Hagman is where I started. She has an excellent intro in her Gluten Free Gourmet books that talk about the different flours and substitutions and what not. Right now, I'm pretty much just winging it in the kitchen but only because her books taught me how to think about cooking with gluten free ingredients.

There was a recipe for gluten-free russian tea cakes! Christmas is saved! (Hey, I've had a whole day to get used to my new life, I'll take any happiness I can, even if it's six months early. ;) )

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      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.
