For anyone who has struggled to create delicious, fulfilling meals without gluten, bestselling author Annie Toro Lopez has the perfect solution. In her latest cookbook, Simply Gluten-Free: Real Ingredients for Everyday Life, Lopez, a food writer who lives on the Colorado High Prairie, strips away the frustration of gluten-free cooking, replacing it with effortless, foolproof flavor. “My life on the Colorado High Prairie has taught me resilience and adaptability,” says Lopez. “I’m grateful for these lessons, as they have served me as a middle school teacher, a seed preservationist, and a cook, learning and adapting to a completely gluten-free lifestyle.” Featuring 250 approachable recipes, this collection doesn’t just work, it wows.

With a fresh approach to everyday meals, Simply Gluten-Free redefines what it means to cook without gluten. From crispy cranberry brie jalapeño poppers bursting with bold flavor to lemon rosemary chicken so juicy you won’t miss the bread crumbs, Lopez’s dishes are as nourishing as they are indulgent. And for the ultimate comfort meal? Her creamy polenta with Sunday gravy proves gluten-free meals can be both simple and deeply soul-satisfying.

What separates Simply Gluten-Free from others is its commitment to real, nutrient-dense ingredients. Rather than relying on over-processed store-bought substitutes, Lopez builds her recipes around whole foods that naturally fit into a gluten-free diet. The result? Bright, nourishing dishes that are full of depth.
