MAKE-AHEAD Make It Ahead: A Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (Clarkson Potter) by Ina Garten Tired of being stuck in front of the stove at your own party, scrambling to get everything to the table at just the right moment? In her latest cookbook, author and television personality Ina Garten reveals which dishes you can prep, assemble or cook ahead of time, with recipes that taste as good — or even bet- ter— when made in advance. Each recipe includes clear instructions for what you can do ahead of time and how far in advance you can make it. Try Wild Mushroom & Farro Soup, Winter Slaw, French Chicken Pot Pies, Decadent (gluten-free!) Chocolate Cake and, for Thanksgiving, Ultimate Make-Ahead Roast Turkey and Gravy with Onions & Sage. "For Jewish holidays, I often make a traditional noodle kugel:' Garten writes. "This year, I added spinach, ricotta, fresh dill and a nice, crunchy panko crust. Spinach & Ricotta Noodle Pudding is a little like a mash-up of noodle kugel and spanakopita, and it was so good!" GLUTEN-FREE Gluten Free Around the World (Brio) by Aviva Kanoff The difficulty in eating gluten-free is in the knowing how to prepare tasty, appeal- ing gluten-free food. If you're kosher, the dietary prohibitions make it even more of a challenge. Aviva Kanoff, author of the No Potato Passover, once again fills a cookbook with recipes inspired by the creative foods she has tasted during her travels to far-flung locales, including Ecuador and India, Cambodia and Morocco, and more. Recipes range from Blueberry Scones to Candied Fig and Goat Cheese Salad, from classics like Fish Tacos to ethnic spe- cialties like Beef Pho. Photos of the places Kanoff has visited enliven the book - 100 Best Quick Gluten-Free Recipes (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) by Carol Fenster This cookbook gets meals on the table quickly with easy recipes that take 30 minutes.

GRAIN-FRE The Grain Brain Cookbook (Little, Brown and Company) by Dr. David Perlmutter In his 2013 New York Times best- seller, Grain Brain, Dr. David Perlmutter exposed what he felt to be the devastating effects of wheat, sugar and carbs on the brain. In his follow-up, The Grain Brain Cookbook, he provides 150 recipes to sup- port the grain brain lifestyle, explaining that "we should enjoy fatty, rich foods filled with tremendous flavor, such as avocado, wild-caught salmon, grass-fed meats, nuts and seeds while ditching glu- ten and dramatically reducing carbs from our diet, replacing them with high-quality fats and protein necessary for a healthy brain:' For breakfast, ditch the traditional cereal, pancakes and toast, he writes, for dishes like Eggs ("nature's perfect food") Benedict with Zucchini Pancake; for lunch, try Green Mango, Watercress and Arugula Salad with Almond-Crusted Chicken Strips; for dinner, Slow-Roasted Salmon with Mustard Glaze; and for des- sert or snacks, Coconut-Cashew Bars or Lemon Souffle Pudding. Bread-Free Bread: Amazingly Healthy Gluten-Free, Grain-Free Breads, Muffins, Cookies dr More (Countrymen Press) by Nerissa Oden Instead of using flour or flour substi- tutes — which, says the author, aren't always healthy — these recipes use pure, natural ingredients, blending vegetables with flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds and spices to make breads that "look and act like the real thing." The more than 75 recipes include Acorn Squash Sandwich Bread, Lemon-Rosemary Flatbread and Sunflower Seed Cookies — perfect for people following a paleo diet or trying to avoid gluten, grains, yeast and sugar.
