Are you looking for regular meal cookbooks or baked good type cookbooks?

For regular meals I just use my old cookbooks and adapt when I need to. Alot of the ones that I have are Taste of Home and I have some that are Better Homes and Garden, I also find alot of recipes online since I can't buy anymore cookbooks (I have probably 20 regular size and at least 30 of the little ones that are found near checkout lines.)

For baked goods I was looking online until I found the blog Elana's Pantry. I borrowed the cookbook, The Gluten Free Almond Flour Cookbook, from the library and every recipe I have tried so far has been a success and my non gluten-free husband has liked them better then the gluten versions. We have made pancakes, snickerdoodle cookies, cinnamon apple muffins and zucchini bread. This will only work if you can have almonds though since her recipes call for almond flour. I did substitute honey for agave, egg replacer for the eggs and canola for grapeseed oil in the recipes and they were still wonderful. I found her recipes easier to put together then trying to mix different flours and xanthan gum together.

Are you talking about cookbooks or baking books? Many cookbooks have tons of naturally gluten-free recipes in them or those that can easily be converted gluten-free. Or do they have to be gluten-free books? I have nearly 500 cookbooks so I would be happy to post a list depending on your needs... :)

Mostly baked goods as I know I can adapt most regular recipes. However, if you have a great gluten-free cookbook for regular meals that be great too.

What are your tried and true favorite cookbooks?

Regular or allergy/gluten free cookbooks? I have about 18 cookbooks dealing with allergy free cooking recipes since I learned I was allergic to wheat,dairy,soy,nuts,sesame. Many were purchased used on-line, and your local library may have specialty cookbooks available. When I first had to go gluten free, the local library had a copy of Bette Hageman's cookbook, and I copied recipes from that. I use recipes from several cookbooks, and there is a plethora of recipes on-line. Living Without magazine has good recipes, and you can sign up for on-line recipes from them, also. I use recipes from different cookbooks....every day new progress is being made for allergy free cooking...thank goodness.This forum is the best source for information if you are newly diagnosed.

Annalaise Roberts "Gluten Free Baking Classics" AMAZING book.

I have that book (yes, it's a good one) but about the only thing I've made from it regularly is the multigrain sandwich bread.

That's a shame. The recipe for vanilla cake in there was made by Annilaise especially for ME. I had posted on this board that I wanted a wedding type cake recipe and she created that recipe for me. It is AMAZING! I have non-gluten-free people raving about it all the time. Try out the cake recipes as well as the bread that you like from there. Coconut cake is to die for as well.

How totally cool! I rarely ever bake cakes or desserts for that matter, but I will certainly keep that one in mind. Thanks!

I too like Annalise's book (far more than Fenster for example) but like the "Blackbird Bakery Gluten Free" book even more because there are some interesting and unique recipes in there (i.e. scratch lady fingers for tiramisu, choux pastry, eclairs, popovers. Rather than having only a few flour blends for the entire book these recipes all have their unique blends just like non gluten-free books. However, you would still need a book for breads and pizza crust as this is quick breads, crepes, cookies, cakes, pancakes, cobblers, pies, souffles, custards. It is definitely my favourite for gluten-free desserts. I also appreciate the fact that very few recipes are naturally gluten-free as they are in many gluten-free cookbooks that are so easy to convert. For those who salivate over lovely colour photos this book is for you. It has a contemporary feel - the type of desserts you could only hope for in very good restaurants but easily made at home. No albumen or whey powder required! :)

I also have the Annalise Roberts cookbook, and use her chocolate chip cookie recipe all the time...for some reason I have to add about 1/2-3/4 of a cup of flour mixture to her recipe....maybe because I have to substitute Earth Balance, or maybe because I live in a dry climate at altitude...the cookies are so good my gluten eating husband gobbles them up, and I can bring them to a family gathering and no one suspects they are gluten free. I have not made her coconut or vanilla cake, but they are on my "to do" list.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years.

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.
