Living Without's Favorite Books: Get an Attitude

Gourmet Meals in Crappy Little Kitchens (Health Communications, Inc.) by Jennifer Schaertl proves you don’t need expensive appliances and granite countertops to produce culinary miracles.

This is not a gluten-free book per se but most recipes are allergy friendly and ingredient substitutions can be made easily.
