Since my first days researching gluten-free alternatives I've found a lot of information online but it can be overwhelming. It helps to have access to some great books which help to break things down into simple to understand information and some great recipes. Here are some of my favourite books. Some of them are available in the
Shellharbour, Kiama and Wollongong City libraries. If your library doesn't stock the book you want you can fill out a card and request they order them in. You will then be notified when the image is available for loan.
My favourite book at the moment is:
Is it Gluten-Free? An A-Z of Things Gluten-Free.(Book review): An article from: Nutrition & Dietetics: The Journal of the Dietitians Association of Australia by
Kim Faulkner-Hogg
Buy new: $9.95
I believe in the KISS method - Keep It Simple, Stupid - and with this book it helps to simplify things and give you a framework to build upon with further research. A great book to share with someone new to the gluten-free lifestyle or for a family member who has no idea why you'd want to reduce gluten from your diet or what are the hidden gluten ingredients in everyday cooking.
Another favourite is Living Gluten-Free for DUMMIES. Practical, delicious ways to manage a
gluten-free diet. Much like the above book, it helps to have information presented in a simple and concise manner so that you can 'say goodbye to gluten and say hello to good
health'.
