Life is a Process

Not specifically GFCF but worth borrowing, perusing, and buying maybe. I found this at TJ Maxx some time ago for about $4 (who can beat a cookbook WITH PICTURES for that price?!).

Cook’s Library: One Pot.
ISBN 0752599526

Some of the recipes are of the type “dump in the pot and let simmer for a few hours” while others are quick (within 30- minutes or so). Every recipe has a picture, a difficulty rating, time for prep and cooking time.

Most of the recipes are easily converted to GFCF if they aren’t already. Most also require broth of sorts (”bouillon” is specified but it is a weak bone broth, recipe included in the front matter). The only ones that look tricky to convert would be beef and tomato gratin (what’s a good substitute for ricotta cheese?); chicken lasagne; cheese and vegetable chowder; and a few other cheese dishes. There are a few that have a biscuit topping but I bet that would be easy to do still without using wheat flour.

Lots of curry dishes!. Venison, rabbit, and lamb dishes. Bizarre fish recipes (angler fish, mullet, cuttlefish, squid). A few pasta dishes (but Tinkyada comes in handy or rice in place of orzo/risotto). But again, if you’re trying to sneak more broth into the kids, almost every recipe requires broth and some amount of simmering.

I had forgotten about this book for a while and only last week I stumbled on it. I used it for almost every meal this week and might even have to use it again for next week.
