Do you know the gluten-free girl? You should. Her website has incredible food, mouthwatering photographs, and wonderful stories. And she has two great books, with another one on the way.
I'm a sucker for a cookbook with a story, and Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef: A Love Story with 100 Tempting Recipes is just that. When I first got this book, I couldn't put it down. Never mind that I was studying for the biggest test of my life. I just had to read every.single.word in this cookbook. I followed Shauna (the gluten-free girl) and Danny (the Chef) as they told their stories about falling in love through food.
And the recipes. Oh boy. Get out your grocery list, because you'll want to make recipe after recipe after recipe from this book. I'm working my way through it, from veal stock to fresh gluten free pasta to crackers to creamless corn chowder. All absolutely delicious.
Last night, I made the baked eggs with taleggio. Oh. My. Mike approached it with a bit of trepidation, but he does love eggs. And when I told him there was a grand prize of cheese at the bottom, he dug right in and I didn't hear another word from him for the rest of the meal. That good. Every recipe is like that.

Besides the recipes, Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef has tons of wonderfully insightful cooking advice - not just for cooking free, but for cooking. I find myself going back to this book again and again. Oh yeah, and it's now in paperback! So if you don't know the gluten-free girl, go on over and meet her. You'll be glad you did.
