There are some great GF cookbooks out there, but I just purchased
"The New Mayo Clinic Cookbook -- Eating Well for Better Health,"
which is not strictly GF.

However, because of the cookbook's emphasis on whole, fresh foods,
the vast majority of the recipes end up being GF anyway -- or easily
made GF, with small adjustments.  Most are just GF, without
adjustments.  (What a delight it was to turn page after page, and
think, "hey, I can actually EAT that!")

Yes, there is a bread and baked goods section, and most of those are
not appropriate.  But even a couple of those can be made GF.

The first chapter is called "Elegantly Simple Ideas for Healthy
Living," and I'd say that pretty much sums up the cookbook.  The
recipes use simple, unprocessed ingredients -- and are high on
creativity and flavor.  There's even a recipe for quinoa and one for
buckwheat groats!  Most recipes are also non-dairy.

I also like the cookbook because the recipes are low in fat, high in
fiber, and all-round healthy.  I know one of the struggles I've had
since being GF is that I tend to eat too many foods that are high in
calories and low in fiber.

You can take a peek at:

It retails for $34.95, and I see it's $24.47 at Barnes & Noble -- but
we purchased it at Costo for $19.95.

Tonight I made Beef Stew with Fennel and Shallots ... and Warm
Coleslaw with Honey Dressing.  They were both just wonderful.  Even
my picky (non-GF) hubby liked them.  It's probably not a cookbook for
kids' tastes -- unless you have pretty adventurous kids.

I have nothing to do with this cookbook.  I just think it's great --
and thought I'd share.
