Looking for Gluten Free Cook Book Recommendations

[persis]

Talis is trying a gluten free diet in hopes that this might solve some of her digestive issues. However, a lot of her favorite foods contain gluten, and we are finding the frozen options to be less than stellar (and cause stomach aches). So, we'd like to try making them from scratch. Mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, any pasta dishes... (although we've found a quinoa pasta that is acceptable). It's a good thing I have been reading labels for years now, just adding one more thing to look out for.

So, my LJ flist, what Gluten Free Cook Books do you use?

Have have experimented with gluten free cooking in the past. I used the Gluten-Free Gourmet cookbooks by Bette Hagman.
The Gluten-free Gourmet Bakes Bread
The Gluten-Free Gourmet Makes Dessert
The Gluten-Free Gourmet Makes Comfort Foods.
and more...

While I don't have a problem with gluten, I browse gluten-free recipe sources a lot looking for lower-carb alternatives to things. My recommendations:

Elana Amsterdam. This website has piles of free recipes; I have also purchased both of her cookbooks and consider it money well spent.

The Grain-Free Gourmet books -- not the same as the Gluten-Free Gourmet ones recommended above.

Healthy Indulgences, a gluten-free and sugar-free food blog I discovered recently.

Also: you can do seriously amazing things with almond flour. I buy mine at Digestive Wellness; it was recommended to me for the fineness of its nut flours. Bob's Red Mill makes some excellent gluten-free flours (I recommend their products too!), but their almond meal is a little coarser and won't quite do the job for cookies or cake.

Good luck!
