Review

I am so very grateful you have chosen to sell your secret to success! I have half a mind to march a copy over to the allergist and tell him, "Don't tell us mommies what our poor children can't eat.....tell us what they CAN EAT!." We need to be enabled and delightfully you have done just that!!! Many, many thanks for all your insight and hard work. ----Bobbi S

Thank you so much for putting this cookbook together...it's a life saver! It is so nice to have food that we can eat as a family instead of always making something special for my son. Thanks again. ----Nicole

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your cookbook with the rest of us moms struggling to find good recipes the entire family can enjoy. My five year old son is allergic to milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts and sesame. I can't thank you enough for changing dinnertime at our house. No need to make two separate meals (one for me and my husband, and one for my son) when we can have something great from your cookbook. ----Sarah

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an AMAZING cookbook!!, November 23, 2007

My 3-year-old daughter is severely allergic to eggs, milk, and nuts, so this cookbook was right up our alley. Now that I have been using it for a while, I can honestly say that it has been an absolute lifesaver for us. My husband says the author must have some sort of "voodoo magic" to make so many things taste so good. We also cannot believe how she has have managed to make things like scalloped potatoes dairy-free and still have them taste JUST LIKE regular scalloped potatoes. I recently used the cream of mushroom soup recipe in the cookbook to make a green bean casserole that tastes just like the real thing. We love the recipes in the book so much that I have been freezing a lot of the meals because we're expecting a new baby in March and I'm trying to stock up on dinners for right after the birth. If your child has allergies to milk, egg, and/or nuts, you HAVE to have this cookbook.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, December 7, 2007

I had high expectations for this book. I have been cooking for my husband who is allergic to nuts, eggs and milk for years now and I am always on the lookout for new and inovative recipes. This book did not have any. The biggest disappointment, I think, was recipes like "Spaghetti" which was just a meat sauce for spaghetti -- Honestly, how hard do you have to try to make egg- and dairy-free meat sauce? And poached salmon? Again, not inovative, not new and not "kid-friendly" by my definition. The "cream soups" just use soymilk where cow's milk or cream would have been used. And the suggestion to roll tofu cream cheese up in "egg and dairy free" lunchmeat (I don't think I have ever found lunchmeat with eggs or dairy in them) as a snack... I don't even know what to say about that so-called "recipe." If you are truly unused to cooking for someone with these allergies and really unused to cooking in general, this may be a good book for you. If you have been cooking for a number of years (and can figure out how to make really obvious substitutions and omissions of milk and eggs), then pass on this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A SUPER, SUPER cookbook, November 17, 2007

I got this book because I am lactose intolerant and needed recipes that everyone in my family of 4 would want to eat. I am so glad that I did. I love this cookbook. My husband and kids love this cookbook. It is the first cookbook that I look in. My brother who is very picky and "won't eat beans" love all the recipes that I have made out of this book; I have made over half. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because some of the baked goods are too oily for our tastes. I have thourghly enjoyed this book and would buy another written by her in a minute.
