I read a lot of books, cookbooks, and websites. I love to read and learn tips and ideas for cooking. I realized though that most of the websites and cookbooks that I have been reading are regular food sites.
Which are all are great. I get a lot of ideas from reading those things. However, I am finding that more and more I also want to read gluten free recipes.
I have purchased a few gluten free cookbooks, and I have found quite a few tips and recipes by reading them.
But to be honest, several of them have been a waste of money. After trying a few of the recipes in some of the gluten free cookbooks, I have wondered if they were even tested. In general I have many more mistakes, errors, and just plain bad recipes using gluten free cookbooks.
As far as websites go, I have found several that I read regularly. The Gluten Free Homemaker, The Celiac Teen, Shirley at Gluten Free Easily, and my sister have all been very helpful. I have learned a lot of information from all of them, but I looking for more gluten free websites to add to my list of favorites.
So, I would love to hear what your favorite gluten free cookbooks or websites are. I am also curious to know if you use gluten free sources or do you find yourself mainly adapting regular recipes?
Thanks for this post. My niece is a celiac, so these are great resources.

I like to adapt regular recipes and make them gluten free, I haven’t been able to part with my cookbook collection nor my cooking magazines. However, yeast breads and complicated baked goods seem to be less frustrating if I just go to a reliable gluten free source.
I know you have some readers in the Pacific Northwest so they might like the gluten free blog https://www.glutenfreeportland.org/ They post product and restaurant reviews, cooking class information, recipes, etc. A lot of their posts are only relevant if you live in the Portland area, put their product reviews are very thorough.

I’m glad I’ve been of some help. 🙂 When I first went gluten-free, Bette Hagman’s cookbooks were among the few out there. Her recipes weren’t perfect, but she was a life saver for me. I have a couple of Carol Fenster’s cookbooks and like her recipes. I almost always tweak recipes a little. Part of it is due to different tastes and preferences, and part of it might be due to different climates and altitude.

I’m fairly new to the gluten free life-style, and I’ve enjoyed searching for recipes and websites. Here are some that I really enjoy:
http://www.simplysugarandglutenfree.com (there are flour blend recipes here)
http://www.elanaspantry.com
http://www.heavenlyhomemakers.com (not all gluten free, but she has a gf section! many of her recipes can easily be made gf. This is my personal favorite site)
There is SO much out there! It can be overwhelming, but you’ll find a couple good sites that you’ll keep going back to. And once you get the flour blending figured out, you can do pretty much anything! Good luck! 🙂
Forgot to add http://www.julesglutenfree.com
and I usually adapt recipes, I think it works better that way. I found that a lot of gluten free recipes were very tasteless or bland, or dense, or gummy.. etc. So, I experiment, and keep notes on what I’ve altered and what works. 🙂
I really like the website Livingwithout.com. It has been a great resource for me as I cook for my daughter who has gluten and dairy allergies. They also have a magazine, but I have not yet subscribed.
Great topic! I LOVE looking around other GF blogs (which is how I found yours). 🙂 I also follow Celiac Teen, Tartlette, Gingerlemongirl, Gluten Free girl & the chef, and I do a lot of googling. Where would one be without google? 🙂
