Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hi Esther, I’m with you on the cookbook conundrum. I love cookbooks. I’m looking at my four shelves of cookbooks (and additional shelf of food mags) and sighing these days. I was already sighing before going gf because so many of them don’t support the weight loss and weight maintenance program I’ll also need to be on for the rest of my life J I think I’ll let go of some of them—“How To Bake” for instance, which is gorgeous but very wheat based. There’s no hurry, though. I might skip through them and see if there are any gf gems I’d never have noticed. I’m starting my own personal cookbook in a 3 ring binder. The recipe card thing just doesn’t work anymore anyway since I print so many recipes from online. I might copy some recipes out of the less usable cookbooks to put in my binder then let go of the cookbook itself. I’ll need the shelf space for the new gf cookbooks I’ll just have to have… I’m interested in converting my favorite recipes, but not in the ones I’ve never tried anyway. There’s a multigrain scone that we’ve really loved. I almost succeeded last week with a good imitation. I’ll post it when I get it right. There’s no need to let go of the Joy of Cooking-I consult it for everything. Except it just occurred to me that there’s probably flour all over the baking pages of that one! Hmmm. Someone spilled coffee on it once—Maybe I deserve a new one? I might let go of “The More with Less Cookbook” , though I do approve of the philosophy of simplicity there, most of the recipes are wheat or barley-based and high-fat to boot. Laurie lbilyeu@...

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Esther - I still collect cookbooks - I could never through them away or give them away. It's true I am not the celiac in our family - but I do all of the cooking and make everything gluten free so that we can all eat the same meal. I find it exciting to convert a really interesting recipe from one of my many cookbooks to gluten free by substituting whatever I have on hand - or if I plan in advance (almost never) then I can get the ingredients I need to make the substitution. I feel like you would be letting something else go that you enjoy and you would miss your cookbooks so much! Besides there is so much good reading in those books besides just recipes! (How many cookbooks in your collection? Do you have them all together in one place? That's what I hope to do - but right now they are scattered in a few bookcases - but near the kitchen. We recently built a window seat in the breakfast room - and it is my intention to build bookcases surrounding it so that all of my cookbooks can be in that room and I can read them at ease! My next project?) Enjoy them!!! Faye, Dalton, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Most cookbooks can be salvaged, although I would probably get rid of a book of gluten yeast breads or other " hard to convert " baking recipes. Savory meals are usually just a matter of substituting a little flour here or there, or using gf pasta instead of regular. I found the old standard " better homes and garden " and " betty crocker " reasonably useful when i moved away from home- I just skipped the yeast bread chapters. Personally i wouldn't kill yourself trying to adapt hard things like that when there are plenty of GF recipes that will turn out better anyway. Things like pumpkin bars or cookies are pretty easy to adapt. The more fat and sugar, or smooshed veggies or fruit is in the bread, the better it will turn out GF. And trust me- I LOVE collecting cookbooks too... Which explains why i have so many! The type you accumulate from now on may just be a little different, that's all. > > Just wondering if others keep or get rid of old cookbooks from the > days BC (before celiac)?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I love collecting cookbooks! It IS a challenge sometimes, but lots of things can easily be converted! OR are GF naturally!! Don't throw them away though. If you can't give them to someone, you can sell them on Half.com or something like that. At least you can recoup a LITTLE of what you spent getting the recipe books. I have the Cake Bible come to think of it, and I don't believe I'll be using it any time soon! : ) kathi --- esther_p210 wrote: --------------------------------- Just wondering if others keep or get rid of old cookbooks from the days BC (before celiac)?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 There is one cookbook I will probably never use again, and which I was so excited to get last year at Passover. It is the Matza 101 cookbook, which shows how to use matza in amazing ways. Well, that's one I won't be using any time soon! Laurie Kathi Sandler wrote: >I love collecting cookbooks!
