Have you chosen to go gluten-free? Maybe you have allergies or you prefer the way your body feels without excess gluten. Whatever your reason, you’re not alone. Many people have adopted a gluten-free lifestyle – and they’re searching for delicious recipes that are healthy and satisfying.

Luckily, there are plenty of cooks out there creating cookbooks that can help! Here are four popular gluten-free cookbooks you can check out if you’re in need of some new recipes.

1. Against the Grain: Extraordinary Gluten-Free Recipes Made from Real, All-Natural Ingredients by Nancy Cain
   • Nancy Cain came to gluten-free cooking simply enough: Her teenage son was diagnosed with celiac disease. After trying ready-made baking mixes and finding the results rubbery and tasteless, she pioneered gluten-free foods made entirely from natural ingredients–no xanthan or guar gums or other mystery chemical additives allowed. That led her to adapt many of her family’s favorite recipes, including their beloved pizzas, pastas, and more, to this real food technique. Nancy finally shares 200 groundbreaking recipes for achieving airy, crisp breads, delicious baked goods, and gluten-free main dishes. For any of these cookies, cakes, pies, sandwiches, and casseroles, you use only natural ingredients such as buckwheat flour, brown rice flour, and ripe fruits and vegetables. Whether you’re making Potato Rosemary Bread, iced Red Velvet Cupcakes, Lemon-Thyme-Summer Squash Ravioli, or Rainbow Chard and Kalamata Olive Pizza, you’ll be able to use ingredients already in your pantry or easily found at your local supermarket. With ample information for gluten-free beginners and 100 colorful photographs, this book is a game-changer for gluten-free households everywhere.
2. Eat Happy: Gluten Free, Low Carb Recipes Made from Real Foods for a Joyful Life by Anna Vocino
   • Eat Happy has 154 delicious grain-free, gluten-free recipes that are also free of any processed sugars.  There are meats, fish, sides, soups, starters, casseroles, slow cooker recipes, breakfast dishes, and even desserts to satisfy any sweets craving you might have, all with virtually no sugar.  If you are low carb, paleo, are wanting to keep autoimmune issues at bay, or just want to lose extra weight, Eat Happy gives you comfort food where you won’t miss the sugars or grains so your body and brain can feel happy from eating real foods. 
   • In 2012, after almost ten years of being gluten-free due to celiac, Anna Vocino found she was gaining weight faster than a tick on a labradoodle.  Turns out the culprit wasn’t overeating or too much fat in the diet, but the pesky sugars and grains in all those gluten-free comfort foods.  When Anna started podcasting with Fitness Confidential author Vinnie Tortorich, she adapted her entire way of eating to go with what Tortorich coined: NSNG—No Sugars No Grains.  Sure enough, the weight dropped off, the inflammation due to celiac finally calmed down, and for the first time in her life, she learned what it meant to be truly happy about food.
   • All of Anna’s recipes are delicious, easy to make, and so satisfying, you won’t even know you’re eating healthy.  Craving rich, decadent chocolate pots with fresh cream that are delicious but not fattening?  Wanna make a grain-free pizza crust that actually helps you lose weight?  Dying for pancakes, but you’ve committed to avoiding carbs?  How about hearty shepherd’s pie, tater tots, sizzling ginger rice, all made with cauliflower instead of high carb rice and potatoes?  Eat Happy offers low-carb comfort foods to please the entire family.
