By now, I would
have considered myself to be a Pinterest wiz. That is why I did not expect the process of researching gluten-free cooking to be so challenging; I felt extremely overwhelmed and frustrated when beginning my research. There were SO many great
resources on Pinterest, but I didn't know where to begin. I felt especially anxious
about how many sources contradicted the information provided by others. For instance,
some of the “essentials” that were discussed in one link, were not even
mentioned as staple ingredients in others.
As a result, I
decided to invest in a few cookbooks – and not just any cookbooks but ones that
also highlighted the “tricks of the trade” when cooking gluten-free. After
reading several reviews, there were two cookbooks that stood out to me and that were relatively affordable.
1. Artisanal Gluten-Free Cooking by Kelli and
Peter Bronski (Walmart - $17 CAN)
2. Deliciously Ella Every Day by Ella Woodward (Indigo - $20 CAN)

These two
cookbooks included rich introductions to leading a healthy, gluten-free
lifestyle and how to make it more feasible in your every day life. This
included information about how to upkeep appropriate kitchen space, tips for
where to start, and ideas for staple ingredients that can be used for a variety
of purposes.
Ultimately, I found these cookbooks helpful because they are providing me with a starting point – by using these cookbooks as a
foundation, I can now sift through the millions of Pinterest resources more
confidently and expand on the recipes these books supply with more unique
(possibly more affordable) ones I find on the Internet. Thus, over the next week
I plan to finish reading these books. This way I can beginning searching
Pinterest and other websites again, but this time with a more informed idea of
what I am looking for. Wish me luck!
