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

Is gluten your only allergy? How about dairy, nuts, soy etc.???

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.

      In case you decide to go the route of a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood test or biopsy: Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Kosher salt is not usually iodized. Shortly after starting GFD in 2014, I realized I wasn't getting enough iodine.  Growing up in the 50's and 60's we ate bread that used iodine as a dough modifier so each slice had about 100 mcg of iodine.  A sandwich and glass of milk supplied 300 mcg a day.  In the 70's they stopped using iodine as a conditioner in the US.  Then everyone got scared of milk.  The US intake of iodine dropped 50% since 1974.  Prescriptions of Thyroxine for hypothyroid disease doubled in the same period.  I tried using iodized salt and seaweed and took an expensive thyroid supplement but it wasn't enough.  In 2014 I had a sebaceous cyst (third eye blind).  The previous 6 cysts on my face had all drained and healed with no problem back in the 1990,s.  One on my check had sugically removed. They are genetic from my mom and my brother and son also get them in the same places.  This one I did not have surgery for because I wanted a bellweather to moniter healing.  It did not start healing until I started until 10 years when I started taking 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine a year ago Nov 2023. Lot's of comment about how it was offputting and maybe cancer, it was deep, down to the bone, but I can be obstenant.  Now it is scabbing over and healing normally.  Vision is returning to my right eye (glucoma), musle tone in my chest was the first sign of improvement.  For healing, iodine breaks down defective and aging cells to make room for new growth. I take Liquid Iodine drops from Pipingrock.com but there is also Strong Iodine and Lugols Solution. 50 mcg/drop a dropper full is 12 drops, 600 mcg.,  usually I put it in a can of Red Bull, My brother, son and his family also started taking it. https://www.pipingrock.com/iodine/liquid-iodine-2-fl-oz-59-ml-dropper-bottle-14690 390 drops for $8.  They ship internationally if you can't find it locally. It the US the Safe Tolerable Upper Limit is 1000 mcg a day.  In Japan it is 3000 mcg a day.  The Japanese traditional diet has 50% less breast cancer, nicer hair, skin and nails, and in the 80's the US educational system dropped down comared to the rest of the world while Japanese kids moved up to the top.  Low iodine affects brain fog. According to most education rankings, Japan generally has a higher education rating than the United States, with Japan often ranking within the top 10 globally while the US usually places slightly lower.  In the 1960s, the United States was near the top of the world for education, especially for young people.  About why iodine was removed from medicint: The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect: Crying Wolf? About why over 40% of us are vitamin D deficient: Mayo Proceedings,  Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought:

      Current "gluten challenge" recommendations are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) daily leading up to the day of the biopsy.

      Thank you for your input!  I would really like to know if I have celiac disease because you need make sure you are not getting any cross contamination due to cancer concerns.  I guess I need to start with a knowledgeable Gastroenterologist. Thank you again!
