I'm not gluten free but my SIL and my best friend both are. Unfortunately it's not always as easy as just replacing normal flour with gluten free flour. Some stuff works, but some stuff tastes pretty awful! I can do gluten free anzacs and a gluten free chocolate cake, but sugar cookies and melting moments were gross! Generally, if it is in a sauce or similar GF flour will work fine. I haven't yet made a good GF pastry with GF flour. I think there needs to be a fair bit of fat and also flavouring to make GF flour recipes work.

Gluten free pasta tastes pretty close to normal pasta.

Bought gluten free bread is really expensive and not particularly nice, better if toasted.

I have heard of people buying gluten free bread mixes on the internet. But I don't know anyone who makes their own completely from scratch. I think it would be hard to get a good texture.
