One thing that aggravates me about most GF cookbooks is that they contain a lot of recipes that are already GF. What I'm looking for are tolerable substitutes for pasta, bread, desserts, etc. . I don't need a GF cookbook to tell me how to roast a chicken.

I just got Gluten Free Everyday and am enjoying the dessert recipes. But it does have a fair number of recipes that I don't need or won't use

I have the Babycakes">http://www.amazon.com/BabyCakes-Gluten-Free-Sugar-Free-Recipes-Talked-About/dp/0307408833/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1249568493&sr=8-1">Babycakes book which is all about baked goods. Unfortunately, they rely heavily on bean flours and Bob's Red Mill GF flour, neither of which appeal to me. If that is not a problem for you, then it looks like a good book.

And I have a Coconut Flour Cookbook. I really like the cupcake recipes a lot, but they do use a ton of eggs.

I either own, or have read and liked, the following cookbooks. Being that I rarely cook from a recipe, I use these books for suggestions, techniques, and tips. I do, however, bake from recipes, and for that, the baking books on the list are super.

You should just get an Indian cookbook and avoid the bread recipes.

I have the Gluten-Free Vegetarian Kitchen by Donna Klein. The recipes in it are well suited to my family's taste. There are recipes from all over the world, plus many I am certain she totally made up herself. We like the cauliflower curry, the bean burgers, the mustardy veggies primavera, the guacamole (yes, typical recipe, but it was the first I managed to make come out right. It is still my go-to version). I have other allergies to contend with, so we haven't tried everything, but we like what we have tried. Of course, I never make anything without altering it, so our versions of everything in this book are at least a little different from what is actually written down. Also, many of them are very forgiving of subs--i.e. if you don't have black beans on hand, red beans are great in the bean patties, too.
