Book Description

April 27, 2006
Hundreds of thousands of people cannot eat corn. Being allergic or intolerant of corn, they repeatedly request a corn-free cookbook from bookstores, but until now there have been none. The Corn-Free Cookbook and Survival Guide now fills that need.

The numbers of corn-sensitive people are growing rapidly. At the same time, most packaged food contains corn derivatives, and hundreds of everyday food additives are made from corn. Thus it is incredibly difficult to avoid corn in one's diet. Surprisingly, corn is one of the top three causes of food intolerance in people.

The Corn-Free Cookbook and Survival Guide has more than 150 corn-free recipes with many variations for differences of taste. It provides recipes for quick meals, breads and grains, veggies and salads, fruits and fruit salads, meats and fish, beans and eggs, milk and cheese, casseroles, soups, and desserts.

The cookbook also teaches the survival skills people need when they must avoid corn, including how to read labels quickly, easily, and accurately. It also shows how to shop defensively (safely) at grocery stores, how to plan meals and customize recipes, how to add flavor with seasonings, and explain the difference between a corn allergy and a corn intolerance, and how to avoid corn at social events, restaurants, and while traveling.

In addition, The Corn-Free Cookbook and Survival Guide summarizes the current medical knowledge about food reactions, including hard-to-find information about food intolerance. As such, it is the perfect tool for families and friends of people with corn allergies.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Corn-Free Cookbook & Survial Guide is really helpful, May 14, 2006
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Corn-Free Cookbook and Survival Guide: For the Corn-Intolerant and Corn-Allergic (Paperback)
Corn allergy is very common, but is totally ignored by the establishment. Corn is a cheap commodity and used extensively in our food supply, and many food additives, and even drugs are made from it. Corn is also used in processing and packaging of foods and non-foods. And as a filler in most medicines. It is not labeled as corn, in most cases. Corn is not included in the Big Eight allergy foods that are required to be labeled, so people who are allergic to corn, are on their own. The Corn-Free Cookbook & Survival Guide is very helpful for people who are trying to avoid corn. It is especially helpful for people who are newly diagnosed, or have a child who has been. There is no help for them from the agencies that deal with the Big Eight food allergens, so this book can be a lifesaver for the newly corn allergic. Corn is probably the hardest of all food allergens to avoid, because it is hidden in so many food products, and non-food products. I highly recommend this book. It is well written, with good information, resources, and many good recipes and tips.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Good Starting Point., June 3, 2006
This review is from: Corn-Free Cookbook and Survival Guide: For the Corn-Intolerant and Corn-Allergic (Paperback)
This book is a good starting point for anyone with a corn allergy or intolerance. The recipes are very easy, ideal for someone who has never cooked. For those of us who have, some of the recipes may seem un-necessary: soft boiled eggs, Baked Potatoes, Roasted Meats. There are some good recipes though, including one for ketchup. It also has a nice list of corn derived ingredients and places corn may be hidden. My main grievance with the book is that while it explains that white vinegar is made from corn and should be avoided, several of the recipes call for mayonnaise, which contains vinegar! This is a large oversight by the authors. Also be sure to read the back of the book first. There are a few ingredients that it mentions may contain corn that are listed in recipes without a warning to buy corn-free versions (e.g. vanilla). Overall this book is nice to have for some recipe ideas but should not be used as the bible for corn-free cooking.

2.0 out of 5 stars If you're corn allergic, you need to know a LOT more than this..., September 1, 2008
By 
Emilia Lanier "Emilia" (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Corn-Free Cookbook and Survival Guide: For the Corn-Intolerant and Corn-Allergic (Paperback)
This book covers the beginning of the basics, but corn ingredients are an ever-moving target. If you have corn allergy, you would probably be better served checking out the Avoiding Corn forum on Delphi Forums.

A brand that is safe this week may not be next week, and it will take more than good label reading to reveal a problem with corn ingredients. Corn derivatives often do not need to be declared on labels, and the packaging itself is becoming more suspect every year, as corn-based biodegradable plastics come into increasing use.

Your veggies may be soaked in corn ingredients, your meats may be soaked in them, it may all be packed in a corn-based plastic, and no one has to tell you anything about any of it.

I encourage anyone with corn intolerance/allergy to just talk to people in the same boat. The Avoiding Corn forum can point you to other reliable resources as well. We all know exactly what we're dealing with and it seems no one else except a few in the "alternative" medical community have a clue.
