The second in Danielle Walker's collection of cookbooks is gluten and dairy-free, as well and checking the paleo-friendly box. It's full of recipes for family-friendly meals, and even includes an 8-week meal plan if you're looking to jumpstart an adjustment to a new eating style or just want a few weeks of meal planning to guide you.

Another of Walker's super successful cookbooks, this installment's title "Celebrations" should tell you everything you need to know: it's a book packed through with recipes for major holidays or other celebrations, inspired by Walker's own traditions and family. It's worth having if you're gluten-free, but also is a good title to add to your bookshelf if you're looking for recipes to help accomodate gluten-free family members at gatherings.

Kristin Cavallari may not be the person you think of first when it comes to cookbooks—but in fact, she's the author of two cookbooks (the other one is below) full of recipes for true, comforting, home cooking style meals that are totally gluten-free—and also free of dairy and refined sugar.

True Roots by Kristin Cavallari

Cavallari's second book, this collection is defined by it's title, but also by the way it calls the 100 recipes it contains "cozy recipes," that are all once again free of gluten, dairy, and refined sugars.

Laurel Gallucci and Claire Thomas run the even trendy Sweet Laurel Bakery in Los Angeles, and kindly share all their best baking recipes for grain-free desserts in this book.

Another one for the keen baker, this book is, like other on this list, more than just gluten-free: it skips dairy and refined sugars as well, and some recipes are even vegan. It covers a whole day of baking, from aromatic breakfast scones to classic desserts like chocolate mouse pie and cheesecakes.

Following their immensly successful book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, Jeff Hertzberg, M.D. and Zoë François set out to write the gluten-free version. So if you felt left out of the bread making boom of the last year because you struggled to find a truly easy to follow guide to making one that tastes, well, artisan—consider that problem solved.

A fun trick for finding accidentally gluten-free recipes and cookbooks is to look out for paleo options like this one. The paleo diet is inherently gluten-free friendly because it skips grains altogether. This, the first of a few volume of the Nom Nom Paleo books, is James Beard Award nominated and a New York Times bestseller, full of recipes paired with step-by-step images, where useful.

This collection of whole food focused recipes is vegetarian friendly, and there's no gluten, dairy, or refined sugar to be found either. Winner of the James Beard Award for Best Book in Vegetable-Focused Cooking, Amy Chaplin breaks down recipes into their component parts in a way that will help you become a better cook, even when you're not using the recipes themselves.

Another book that can take you from breakfast through to dinner without grains or processed sugars, Anna Vocino also focuses on low-carb recipes to help fuel a "joyful life," inspired by how she shifted her diet to manage her Celiac disease. With everything from morning meals to snacks and soups to slow cooker meals, it's perfect for family cooking, too.

Gluten-free eating doesn't have to be expensive, but sometimes the gluten-free versions of popular food items can certainly seem it. This book focuses on budget-friendly cooking and it just happens to be gluten-free too. Nicole Hunn started with a gluten-free blog and now has three cookbooks—but this is the one to get your hands on for simple, family friendly recipes.

Jules E. Dowler Shepard is something of a gluten-free expert, but this book is as allergen-friendly as you can get (the recipes also skip dairy, nuts, soy, eggs, and some other common allergens). Don't let the cover image confuse you, either—this is about way more than cake, and in fact covers family friendly recipes for any meal.
