Gluten-free Cook Book! Help!

Hello everybody! I'm somewhat new, but not totally new to gluten free. But I've been searching and searching for a good cookbook for me. I'm in college, not a good cook, on the go a lot, need to pack lunches and I'm on a tight budget. It seems that all the cookbooks out there have such...may I say extravagant recipes. Like recipes I would never use nor would be efficient at this time. I want a cookbook that is well rounded (desserts, main, apps, etc) but yet has quite a few recipes that I could actually want and can make. I'm not looking for completely simple like peanut butter and jelly I just don't want a whole cookbook full of "chicken basil ala spinach puffs" which a lot of cookbooks I looked for are like. haha. I was just wondering if someone had any suggestions or ideas that could help me out! :D

Right now the two main cook books I have been using a lot are:

*The Gluten Free Kitchen by Roben Ryberg (Main ingredients are Potato Starch, Corn Starch, Baking Soda and Baking Powder then couple normal ingredients) It is a really easy cookbook. About 264 pages (recipes start on pg 14)

*Inreditble Edible Gluten Free Food for Kids by Sheri L. Sanderson

Yes it is labled for Kids BUT.... it has some really easy recipes in it that will get you started and use to baking/cooking gluten free. Sounds funny but it has a symbol on most of the pages i.e. EZ to show its an easy recipe or a Clock showing that it doesn't take that long. Around 280 pages (recipes start on pg 34) At the end of the book it has a cooking tips/trouble shooting section.

-- Both Cook Books don't have that many ingredients. They both have Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Desserts (cookies, pies etc). I think they are good beginner cook books that will help you make the next step to the more time consuming ones if you want. If you like pizza they both have pizza recipes :D

I just made Rolls from The Gluten Free Kitchen one tonight... I use then for sandwich rolls or hamburger buns.

Good Luck

Why not just look up recipes on the internet? That way you have all the cookbooks you could ever want.

I really love this site Open Original Shared Link she posts easy and economical recipes. All of them are gluten-free, many are vegetarian or vegan. Karina's recipe for Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas is (delicious, and) one of six finalists up for Whole Food's recipe contest.

Also check into the Atkins diet type books. Not a lot of grains in those.

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
