Please Recommend A Great Cookbook

Hello everyone,

Three weeks now supposedly gluten free (just found out yesterday that my special biotene dry mouth gum may contain gluten). Yikes! I chew that pretty much all day. Now chewing "Spry" that is gluten free but not near as good for the severe dry mouth issue.

Anyway, I was never much of a cook anyway, but I did have some rather tasty meals. Now I keep cooking the same 4 or 5 things over and over.

Please, anyone have a great cookbook suggestion or two? One that is easy and doesn't require many ingredients would be even better. I also like to use the crockpot.

Everyone here has been so helpful so far and I appreciate it so much! I've been so sick for 7 months and I'm very hopeful this diet will make me feel better (my son too).

Thank you so much!

Debbie

Are you cooking for yourself or a family?

If you're cooking for a family (or like having leftovers to freeze) I highly recommend Make it Fast, Cook it Slow. I cook from this book at least 3 nights a week and will often have 2 crock pots going at the same time with a main course and a side dish or dessert.

Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link are outstanding.

Specifically, Carol's Gluten-Free Quick & Easy and Bette Hatman's Gluten Free Comfort Foods.

I've always appreciated the extra guidance they both provide in their books.

Dr Sue Shepard has great cookbooks. I have the gluten free kitchen - easy peasy but delish recipes and great photos etc.

She is Australia and this is her website - but I am sure you can get the books on amazon or something.

Another vote for Carol Fenster! YUMMMMMMMY! She has a specific cookbook for easy (or maybe fast) meals, I got that for my mom. I have the 1000 gluten-free recipes.

      Allergy Meds

      By trents · Posted

      Your only resort would seem to be directly contacting the manufacturer and ask some pointed questions about CC . . . and hope you get some straight answers. You are probably already aware of this but the label "Gluten Free" does not necessarily equate to zero gluten. "Gluten Free" is a standard established by the FDA whereby a product can use that label as long as it does not contain an amount of gluten exceeding 20 ppm. There is also "Certified Gluten Free" which is a third party certifying standard signifying that the product does not exceed 10 ppm. There are limits to detection technology much below that.

      It may be naturally gluten-free but I worry about cross contamination as my kiddo has had bad reactions if things aren't actually gluten free.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      They will have to put him back on gluten in order to get accurate tests results, so all the progress may be lost for a while. My grandson was 2 1/2 years old when he, his father, and his mother, were diagnosed.  He was not even on the chart for height or weight and had not been on the chart since he was 12 months old.  The first month he went gluten free he gained 6 pounds and grew an inch.  Unfortunately, he missed a whole lot of opportunity to grow in those first years.  He remained the smallest, skinniest kid in the class until high school when he clawed his way into the middle row for pictures.  He is 20 and topped out at 5 ft 6 inches.  His mother is 5'7 in a family where everyone is 6 feet tall or more.   His younger brother was 7 months old when he was diagnosed.  At 18 he is 6ft tall.  Best to catch it as early as possible.

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      By trents · Posted

      Maybe you picked up a little intestinal virus? Maybe some ingredient in the gluten free processed foods you've been consuming is causing this. In order to simulate the texture that wheat provides, a lot of gluten free products contain ingredients that may cause digestive distress. Xanthan gum and similar polysaccharides are among the chief offenders.

      Welcome @Ems10, Isn't is wonderful how a simple change helps. Gluten free eating is not a punishment.  It does take attention to details when buying processed foods.
