Pav's are especially gluten free, I made a banoffee pav this past weekend which was a rectangle sized pav topped with whipped cream, banana, grated chocolate and orange toffee sauce. Everyone was absolutely delighted and it looked so pretty on the platter I served it with the yummy toffee sauce oozing down the sides. It was from SFI two months ago. You could also do one of those cakes that is made from layers of meringue filled with hazelnut choc cream I have a few of them... will try and find the recipes for you.
There is a great website I use for conversions for gluten free, I shall post it for you. Also check out the Orgran range in coles for inspiration.

ETA:I'm a nong I just realised you want mains too... will let you know (my gf does gluten free at xmas and we still manage to have all the trimmings as her DH's aunt has coeliacs).
Most things main wise are really easy to make gluten free, and you'd probably be surprised at what dishes you already make that are gluten free. Just remember that if you are using cornflour for thickening be sure its not wheat cornflour (I know sounds dodgy but some of the homebrands are made from corn) otherwise anything with rice, or polenta, potato is fine, just stay away from pasta. You could do a lovely roast pork with potato rosti's (using potato flour) and a nice mushroom cream sauce (served with some garlic fried baby spinach) looks fancy and is fairly easy to do.
