Cookbook??

I want to write a cookbook.

Now, I know what your saying..everyone writes cook books and there a millions of them. I don't care!

I have been on this crazy lifestyle food change for a while and I realize one thing, there are no good gluten-free/dairy free cookbooks. They just don't exist. And that really sucks! What sucks the most is the all the books I have seen have really obscure ingredients that you would have to live in a big city or have a farmer's market next door. It is ridiculous. What about the busy Mom on the go? There are so many children who have been put on a PKU (gluten-free/dairy free) Diet for their autism, AD/HD, and a laundry list of things. Where is there help? Can you whip up a meal that kids will love, eat, and not complain. You give any kid who is used to eggs, fried tofu in the morning and you are gonna get some groans if you don't know how to fix it right. These are the people I want to help. People who don't have the budgets to by the EXPENSIVE gluten-free mixes and helpers. I want to teach people simple clear cut helps that you could do at any local super market with just a few ingredients.

The hardest part of the GF/DF diet is trying to get adequate fiber, calcium, and minerals from other sources. It is really similar to putting together a Vegan diet. There are a lot of the same challenges that go into both. Vegan is actually easier. I know what your saying...how could Vegan be easier, Vegan can be a hard life change. Here is why it is easier. If you are Vegan you can use Analogs, bread, spelt, wheat, and grains. Your diet is very well rounded in proteins and fibers. Yes, being gluten free we get to use meat. But, you have to use it very very wisely. A lot of people go gun-ho on meat and make themselves sick. When you are GF/DF everything is a balance act you body is so sensitive while it is healing that everything has to be done just right.


You think it would be easy but 90% of products on a market shelf have gluten or maltodextrin. I would like to write the cook book in a clear and easy manor that anyone could do it and help them ease into this lifestyle transition. I need to write out a idea ,a couple of sample recipes, and a rough theme and see if any publishers will bite. It might take me YEARS. Already I have about 10 recipes under 7 different categories that could encompass a lot of ground. I just feel sorry for my family. They have to suffer through the trial phase.
