Any Good Recipe Books?

My child was diagnosed in December (two days b4 my son was born, what a hectic time). She is thriving on the gluten-free diet, but is very picky like any two year old (thank GOD she loves fruit and veggies but meat/chicken is just not a fav yet). Are there any recipe books or a web site anyone can recommend for her? I have done well, but feel like I make the same things over and over, and most things take lots of time (which i don't always have with a newborn). I am at home with both kiddo's and new recipes that I can try (as well of get ideas from)and even some easy and fast recipes would be welcome! Thanks!!

I'm sure there are lots of dedicated cookbooks for children, here's one from the UK.

I haven't found any gluten-free cookbooks that the kids are really all that thrilled with yet, I'll be honest, but there was a threat on lunches for kids here at celiac.com ( ) that seemed to have some nice ideas for kid foods. They also had a link or two to food sites that had good ideas, so that might be of some use as well. :)

I just picked up at my local Books-A-Million a copy of Allergy-Free Cookbook, Gluten,Dairy,Egg, Nut,I couldn't find an author but the publisher is Publications International, Ltd. It was on the clearance rack for $9, it is by far the best Cookbook I have bought with gluten-free recipes. The recipes are simple and although it is only 138 pages, at least 2/3 of the recipes are those I would actually make, as opposed to some cookbooks I've bought, where I might only find 3-4 recipes I would want to make more than one. The cookies are amazing, my 3 teenagers had no idea they were gluten-free and the flours are simple gluten-free flour blends, so you don't need to keep 4-5 different flours on hand.

My latest favourite cookbook is Deceptively Delicious. Although not a gluten free book, I have found most receipes work with substituting an all purpose gluten free flour mix. It works with purees and packs everything with lots of nutrition. My daughter loves the brownies, although I haven't told her they have spinich and carrot in them.

I bought a couple of cookbooks and really haven't liked them too much. A lot of the food seems to come out dry.

I have much better luck using a regular cookbook with recipes I like (except for yeast breads) and adapting the recipe using a gluten-free flour substitute or if the flour is just for thickening substitute corn starch, gluten-free bread crumbs for frying, etc. There are some 1-1 ones that are pretty good. Try to use one with a bit of fiber for savory foods and not one that's just rice flour and tapioca - (although that's probably best for cookies and cakes). It may take a couple of tries to find one you like or get the recipe just right. Cornbread is super simple to make - just swap out the wheat flour in the recipe. Also, a really nice mixer and a bread machine will make things much easier.

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
