Alternative flour education!

This book is an excellent one for baking if your child has an allergy to wheat. My child cannot tolerate kamut and spelt, which the author uses often, but the author almost always gives a list of 4 or 5 different flours that will also work with each recipe. And, she will make note, for example, if more or less liquid is called for if you use a different flour. If an egg is called for, she'll also give you a substitute. Very thorough. I've read a bazillion food allergy cookbooks, and this one by far is the most flexible.

Lots of ideas and suggestions

I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, but the first three or four chapters are perfect for those of us who are just starting on our food allergy journey.I plan to send copies to my mother and my sister-in-law because they have been very concerned about holiday meals. The book includes suggestions for dealing with this. That way when we all get together, I can eat some of the family foods. I will probably also take my own food and the author gives really good suggestions for this, too.

Fabulous! This is a book for every beginner like me

Fabulous! This is a book for every beginner like me in dealing with food allergies. I found the substitution charts extremely helpful. The book includes info on different kinds of foods to avoid and what substitutions are safe. The rotation diet was covered as well. This book gave me the encouragement to get started in facing the overwelming problem of my food allergies. I would recommend this book to anyone, who like me, didn't know where to start in conquering this problem.
