When you’re first going gluten and dairy-free, one of the first things you’re likely to think is “what can I eat now?!” followed quickly by “where can I find recipes that actually taste good?!”
When it comes to foods you CAN eat on a gluten and dairy-free diet, I’ve got you covered. Check out these two popular posts: how to stock your fridge and how to stock your pantry.
As for where you find recipes that are gluten-free and dairy-free, there are many places you could look:
When I first took on this diet and lifestyle change, I relied on different cookbooks to help me navigate what I could and couldn’t eat. I also learned what kinds of dishes I enjoyed making substitutions for – and which just weren’t going to cut it for me.
Of course, if you’re just getting started right now with this diet and lifestyle, I highly encourage you to check out my recipe and menu planning service, GFDF Weekly, because it helps take a lot of the guesswork out and allows you to get recipes delivered straight to you without having to do a bunch of the organization work and find things that tastes good.
In GFDF Weekly, I send 5 delicious gluten and dairy-free recipes to your inbox each and every week, including a combined shopping list. I’m all about making this diet and lifestyle as easy as possible, which is why I created a service to help you stay with it.
But since all of us learn and get inspired in different ways, let me share some great gluten-free dairy-free cookbooks that I’ve used and heard about from other readers. I’ve put together this list of 10 cookbooks in hopes that something will jump out at you.
A lot of these cookbooks have really useful information, like substitutes or alternatives to ingredients, in the front or the back, which is really valuable. Of course, most of this sort of thing I cover on my blog and in my book The Gluten and Dairy-free Diet: A Beginner’s Guide. But like I said, I know some formats work better for some people than others.
Alright, let’s get to it, shall we?
