About the Author

For over 30 years Libby Avery has been cooking for egg and dairy food allergies. Her daughter was diagnosed with severe food allergies at birth and Libby wanted to solve her dietary needs. Libby spent many years experimenting in the kitchen with substitutions and ingredients until each recipe tasted like the real thing. She did not want her daughter to miss out on all the amazing tastes and sensations that come from eating great food. Libby says, ''I wanted my daughter to be able to eat all of the things her classmates and family were eating. It took a lot of tries, but after tweaking family recipes and recipes I found in cookbooks by experimenting with substitutions, she was finally able to experience the joy of eating.''

Libby's daughter continues to enjoy these recipes and is excited that her mom is sharing them with other people living with food allergies. ''Even with the recent rise of vegan options in grocery stores and restaurants, I still have not been able to find recipes that compare to my mom's, and it's not just because she's my mom' it's simply because they are better,'' says Nicolle, Libby's daughter.

This review is from: Cooking for Food Allergies Everyday & Gourmet an Egg & Dairy-Free Allergy Cookbook with Gluten Free and Vegan Friendly Selections (Plastic Comb)

I have not made anything yet from this cookbook, but in looking through the recipes, I found that they use a lot of the ingredients I have been using. I have been making regular recipes, and substituting rice milk for the milk, and egg substitute for the eggs. Food has been coming out well, and has been well-accepted by family members. I am the one with the milk and egg allergies, but refuse the make two different meals. I plan to try some of the recipes, though they are a bit daunting because of using long lists of ingredients. That must be to make up for what they don't use so the taste is good.
