Guest guest Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I went to Amazon and searched for gluten free cookbooks and got lots of results. Would some of you recommend books that have been most helpful to you? I am not celiac, just intolerant of gluten (severe indigestion is my main symptom, that is, that I recognize as such). I am also not vegan, but I'm trying to become more of a vegetarian, and also need to try to eliminate dairy products as they too sometimes cause indigestion. I have also tested allergic to eggs and chicken. I want to buy 2 or maybe 3 books, but want to make sure I get the ones that will be more useful to me. I read the reviews of Elizabeth Hasselbeck's new book, and I decided not to order that one. All suggestions will be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Any of the gluten free gourmet books (there are several) are really good. I have a lot of books that I rarely use. I have Gluten Free quick and easy, which I don't think I've ever made anything out of. There is a lot of meat recipes in it. I have found that I really don't use recipes and books are a waste of money. I only use recipies for inspiration and then just kind of wing it in the kitchen! I joined paperbackswap.com over a year ago and I got a lot of books off of there. It's a nice program because you can check out a lot of books and if it doesn't work for you, just repost it and when someone request it it only cost you shipping to send it out and you get a book credit to order another book. The other option is to check out the library. If your local library doesn't have the books you want then you have them order it from another branch and they notify you when it's ready to pick up. It's really difficult to say what books would be good recommendations as I have no clue what you like. Spicy or mild, Mexican, Italian, American, etc. If your looking for specific recipes you can easily compile your own cookbook with just the recipes you like. That's what I've been doing, with space for notes so when I alter or adjust ingrediants or cooking time I can make note of it for the next time. If your looking for meat or fish recipes, e-mail me off group as I don't want to offend anybody here by posting inappropriate recipes. I do not eat meat but I respect the choice and do have an enourmous collection of recipes that are in my books and those of my families. (I'm the only meat free person in my family!) Anyway, I hope I've given you some ideas and you can always e-mail me off list for specific recipes or anything off topic or inapproprate for a vegan group.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I have followed the McDougall Program for 15+ years and have found many tasty recipes in the book of the same name; the New McDougall Cookbook has even more, and those with couscous could have easily millet substitutions.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Thanks for the replies, Jae and Daniel. Appreciate it. I've decided that I don't need any more cookbooks, have too many already, and like you, don't use them all that much, and I also have lots of recipes on my website. What I need is bread-type recipes like pancakes and muffins and maybe a cake or two. So, I decided to start my own recipe book using a 3-ring binder (I already have some of those for other recipes). I've already copied and pasted into Word documents to format and print, the lists of " yes " and " no " foods from this forum and other websites, and also some recipes. The flour mixtures are interesting and I will start experimenting with some of them. I didn't realize that so many foods have gluten, and I've had to give up my soy " bacon " and " sausage, " among other things. Maybe at some point, they (Morningstar) will start making gluten-free products. I like the Van's waffles to toast and use for bread at breakfast and for snacks with various toppings and spreads. I've gotten a lot of good ideas from this forum and some other websites. I need to keep things simple, as I don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I you want recipes for soy bacon and sausage, see if your library has " Veganomicon " . If you're in the US, there are a few " meat analogues " at the store without gluten in them. While we were there, we tried about three different veggie burgers, tofu pups, a few other frozen " steak " products. I know others have mentioned quorn, and I believe some of them are gluten free, but those that were had corn in them, which is out for us. In Canada, I have found very few vegan, gluten-free, and corn-free meat analogues. One veggie burger, tempeh burgers, no hot dogs or breakfast meats, etc. We have found some meat analogues at our Asian market, but watch out for whey, soy sauce, or " modified food starch " . So we go back to the basic veg foods we were eating fifteen years ago before all of these commercial products came out. Homemade burgers or sausages of beans, vegetables, grains, or nuts; bacon made from tofu or tempeh; carrot dogs; relying more on beans, lentils, and international delights. There's plenty out there, you just have to find it! Pam On Tue, May 12, 2009 at 10:17 PM, Sandy <MizFrog wrote: > > > Thanks for the replies, Jae and Daniel.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Tofurky is coming out with a new product called tempeh 2.0 which was advertised in vegetarian times as gluten free. http://tofurky.com/products/tempeh.htm Not sure if any of them will suit you as a sausage alternative. I recently saw a recipe for tempeh bacon which looked good. As soon as I find it again I will post the recipe.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Hi Sandra, We have heaps of recipes for bread and cakes in our Files. You can also find mock bacon and sausage recipes. In fact there are not too many things that we don't have recipes for. There are literally thousands of recipes in the files. I rarely open a recipe book these days, and go straight to the files before anywhere else.
