Book Description

April 10, 2012
Feeding a family with food allergies doesn’t have to be boring or tasteless. Kiwi, the premier magazine about raising families the natural and organic way, presents 120 great recipes to keep your family happy, healthy and sane.

Allergy-Friendly Food for Families is the most trustworthy, comprehensive, practical, and kid-friendly collection of recipes that exists for the important and growing audience of allergy-aware families. Unlike other allergy cookbooks, this book covers not one or two allergens, but the five most common allergens in kids: wheat, dairy, eggs, nuts, and soy. Each of the 120 recipes is free of at least three of these allergens; most are free of all five.

When parents are desperate for ideas for what to make for dinner (or lunch, or snack time), they want recipes from someone they trust, for food that tastes good, that doesn't require a lot of fancy ingredients, and that the whole family can eat. Allergy-Friendly Food for Families is the ultimate resource. From the three crucial mealtimes (breakfast, lunch, dinner) to the "fun" foods families can't live without (desserts, snacks, parties), parents are completely covered. Perhaps most importantly, all of these recipes are simple for parents to make. 

Recipes such as Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies, Pear Yogurt Dunkers, Good-for-you Nachos, Polenta Mini Pizzas, Giant Cookie Cake, Veggie Bite Soup, and Cool Zucchini Noodles will make kids forget they have allergies. Parents will love the additional informational sections on spotting food allergies, stocking an allergy-free pantry, deciphering labels, and other frequently asked questions.

Food should be delicious; family time should be fun. This book reflects those values.

4.0 out of 5 stars HELPFUL, HEALTHFUL AND HAPPY April 14, 2012
Format:Paperback
This brightly illustrated easy-to-follow cookbook is more than "Allergy-Friendly," it's a boon for those dealing with allergies whether affecting themselves or members of their family.

We read, "Food and family go together like bacon and eggs, bread and butter, milk and cookies - right? Well, yes, they're great combos - for some people. But when you don't eat eggs and your kids can't stomach milk, it can start to feel like food is out to get your family, not bring it together." How true!

Editors of KIWI to the rescue! KIWI, the premier magazine about raising families the natural and organic way, has prepared a comprehensive guide for those finding themselves in the above described situation. This book covers five of the allergens most commonly found in kids. Not only are the three important mealtimes taken care of (breakfast, lunch, and dinner, of course), but space is also devoted to foods that make life fun - desserts, snacks, party foods.

Each recipe includes a nutritional analysis, and there are umpteen recipes that kids and their parents can prepare together. Enjoy the No Moo Chocolate Pudding or the Nutty Fruit Pizza! There are more than 120 delicious, healthy recipes!

Enjoy!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not soy free May 26, 2012
Format:Paperback
As a person who struggles with 13 food allergies, this title featured on foxnews.com really stood out to me. Then as I went further into the article and into the recipes, my hopes were dashed. This cookbook that calls itself SOYFREE includes TAMARI in the slider recipe featured in the article. TAMARI is a soy sauce. Disappointing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Recipes full of nuts/egg/dairy/wheat: DO NOT BUY April 11, 2012
By grmdmom
Format:Paperback
Easily, the worst "food allergy" cookbook I've read, ever. Of the 120 recipes, nearly all have one form of nuts/egg/dairy/fish/shellfish. And the ones that don't, are horrible recipes (Lentil sloppy joes? What kid eats that?) And I'm not just talking "traces" of nuts. We're talking CUPS of nuts, nuts as the main ingredient. Almond Flour Honey Cakes, Almost-Raw Chocolate Cashew Fudge, Nutty Fruit Pizza, Fruit and Nut Snackballs, Pear Dunkers with Cashew-Cinnamon Yogurt Sauce, Spicy Mexican Shrimp Skewers, Beef Satay with Peanut Noodles, Tuna Brown Rice Bake. The most hilarious recipes, are the ones that call for rice milk....but then cups of mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Basically, the KIWI people wanted to make some money off of food allergic children. They went through their existing database of recipes and pulled out ones that might not have a single allergen (but still contained cups of other allergens), and put together this book. They don't deserve a dime of your money. Go buy the Divvies Cookbook, The Food Allergy Mama's Cookbook, the Allergen-Free Baker's Handbook, Go Dairy Free, either of Elizabeth Gordon's books...support people who get food allergy, write good books, and are working tirelessly to support food allergic families.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great cookbook! April 12, 2012
Format:Paperback
As a mom who wants her kids to eat healthy foods but avoid allergens, I think this is one of the best books to come along in a long time. It has recipes for lunch, dinner, and the all-important breakfast (goodness knows how hard it is to come up with something easy and fun and healthy to start the day off right), plus lots of great ideas for things like cupcakes for a nut-free classroom.

Another great feature? The photos! They are bright and colorful and make the food look yummy. My kids have actually pointed at some of them and asked to help me make a recipe - huge bonus, as the recipes are for food I want my kids to eat.

Another think I really like about the book is that it was put together by the editors of Kiwi magazine, a source I know and trust. Kiwi is a parenting magazine for parents who care about raising kids the healthy, organic, and green way. It has been around for a long time and is very conscientious.

Now, off to make some coconut no-cream pie!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful - appeals to everyone! May 1, 2012
By RJ
Format:Paperback
Got this book and absolutely love it! It has been extremely helpful in tailoring allergy friendly meals and has given me great ideas for dinners for the whole family! It sometimes gets hard to plan allergy friendly meals and this book has been a tremendous resource, and inspires me to whip up alot of different dishes I would not have thought of on my own. One of the best books I've added to recipe book collection and the recipes I've tried have turned out delicious!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book! May 29, 2013
By Sara
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My almost 2 yo son has multiple food allergies: wheat, milk, eggs, and peanut. I have struggled with taking normal recipes and trying to adapt them for him with mixing types of flour, etc and everything has turned out not so great. The recipes in this book have been phenomenal so far and I am overjoyed to see him eating something besides meat and sweet potatoes. A few of the recipes that haven't been wheat free I have used GF Rice flour in instead of the wheat flour and they have turned out great.
Definitely recommend this book for kids with allergies and frustrated parents!

I was looking for more ideas for my daughter who has celiacs disease and many other food allergies. I will still have to vary some recipes to accomodate her other issues.
