Hi All,

I want to go gluten free, does anyone have a recommendation for a good gluten free cookbook? I was on a 2 week detox diet that was grain, dairy, and meat free, (fruits, veggies, rice, and mung beans were allowed) and I really started to feel alot better. I had no congestion which is a year round problem, and even though I only lost 2 pounds in the 2 weeks I had very little bloating. Thanks, KO

Hi KO-LD,

Just as a cautionary note, it's a bit harder to go gluten free than you might think. You should probably visit the following link for helpful tips on which kitchen items to replace, what sneaky ingredients to watch out for, etc:

How to Start Living Gluten Free

Since I'm trying to be grain free as well as gluten free, my two favorite cookbooks are:

The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook

and

Cooking with Coconut Flour

But it's really helpful to just go to the many gluten free cooking blogs on the Internet....here are just a few of my favorites:

Elana's Pantry
Karina's Kitchen
Gluten Free Girl and the Chef
A Year of Crockpotting
My Gluten Free Recipe Archive

On the site below there are numerous links on the right hand panel to other gluten free cooking blogs:

Good luck! Congratulations on your decision to go gluten free!
