Gluten Free Recipe Resources and Info

Many times I'm asked to cook for people with Celiac disease or teach cooking classes for those wishing to cook gluten free. There are abundant resources and products on the market today that can make gluten=free living much easier than it was 10 years ago.

One of my go to cookbooks is "1,000 Gluten-Free Recipes" by Carol Fenster, published by Wiley. It's like getting 5 cookbooks in 1! It has 172 Breakfast Dishes, Muffins, and Breads 75 Sandwiches, Salads, and Soups 106 Pasta, Grain, Bean, and Vegetable Dishes 205 Main Courses 377 Cookies, Cakes, Pies, and Other Desserts And Much More! For the best all-purpose gluten-free cookbook, look no further. Inside, you'll find delicious gluten-free versions of foods you crave-including muffins, breads, pizzas, pastas, casseroles, cookies, bars, cakes, and pies. You'll also discover hundreds of recipes for all-American favorites, flavorful international dishes, and sophisticated special-occasion fare. It's everything you need to serve satisfying gluten-free meals 365 days a year!

You can purchase this book online at Wiley's site.

Other resources that are available are magazines such as "Living Without" and a great website called Glutenfreeda.com. I also am very happy with the gluten-free products from Bob's Redmill.

These resources have truly aided me in cooking for clients and friends with Celiac disease. I hope that they will help you too. I've learned that gluten-free doesn't necessarily mean you can't enjoy some of the foods you've loved to eat. With the suggested modifications and great recipes you'll be enjoying many delicious dishes and desserts. Your family and friends will enjoy the food as well so you don't have to make separate meals.
