Editorial Reviews

Review

Easy Breadmaking for Special Diets is the perfect book for bread machine owners who bake for anyone on a special diet. Nicolette provides great insight into the use of bread machines with some of the more difficult ingredients that are used on special diets. Best of all, these recipes really work and produce delicious breads that will appeal to everyone, regardless of diet! -- Ada Lai, editor of "The Magic Bread Letter"

Easy Breadmaking for Special Diets solves a problem common to patients on special diets, that of how to make your own breads and desserts with the minimum of time and effort. If you or your family members are on a special diet, this book will be very helpful to you, even if you've never cooked before. -- William G. Crook, M.D., author of The Yeast Connection Detecting Your Hidden Food Allergies

Ms. Dumke has done the impossible! Imagine - wonderful breads from a huge variety of flours, yeast breads using non- gluten flours, quick breads that are yeast-free, and even cakes. I've used a bread machine for four years and never imagined it could be so versatile. This book opened by mind to all kinds of possibilities - it's an amazing body of incredibly original work. -- Marjore H. Jones, R.N., author of The Allergy Self Help Cookbook

More About the Author

Nickie Dumke enjoys helping people with food allergies and gluten intolerance find REAL solutions to their problems. Her quest to help others with multiple food allergies began 20 years ago and culminated in The Ultimate Food Allergy Cookbook and Survival Guide. This book has helped many people come back from near-starvation; her other books address issues such as time and money pressures on special diets, keeping allergic children happy on their diets (Allergy Cooking With Ease), and more.

She is now also helping those who are overweight due to allergic inflammation (often due to unsuspected food allergies) and/or high-in-rice gluten-free diets. Her unique approach to weight and health in Food Allergy and Gluten-Free Weight Loss is based on body physiology and reveals why conventional weight-loss diets work against rather than with our bodies and therefore do not result in permanent weight loss. To hear about hunger-free weight loss after many years of struggle without losing, see the review for this book by J. Trimble on the book's Amazon purchase page.

Nickie has had multiple food allergies for 30 years and has been cooking for special diets for family members for even longer. Regardless of how complex your dietary needs are or how much or little cooking you have done, she has the books and recipes you need. Her books present the science behind multiple food allergies and weight control in an easily-understood manner. She has BS degrees in medical technology and microbiology and lives in Louisville, Colorado.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cleiac's beware - this book may not be for you!, August 7, 2000

Cheryl A DiBiase - See all my reviews

This review is from: Easy Breadmaking for Special Diets : Wheat-Free, Milk- And Lactose-Free, Egg-Free, Gluten-Free, Yeast-Free, Sugar-Free, Low Fat, High To Low Fiber (Paperback)

I am a Celiac! My personal opinion is that this book is not for Celiac's. Almost every recipe in this book uses either bread flour or Spelt (a NO-NO for Celiac's).

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, tasty recipes the whole family enjoys!, August 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Easy Breadmaking for Special Diets : Wheat-Free, Milk- And Lactose-Free, Egg-Free, Gluten-Free, Yeast-Free, Sugar-Free, Low Fat, High To Low Fiber (Paperback)

This book is well written with clear explanations of the complexities of baking with different ingredients. Probably not the best book for folks with gluten problems as many of the recipes contain some form of wheat, but it's great for those with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance. The recipes work well just as they are written so no experimenting is needed get good results or to make the results palatable to the rest of the family. We needed recipes without dairy, eggs, peanuts, soy, corn, and coconut. This book has been ideal for us. It's full of wonderfully easy recipes for everyday foods that everyone in the family likes! (There are also great special occasion recipes!) Good bread machine recipes for special diets are hard to find and should be treasured.

3.0 out of 5 stars excellent book but only 3 recipes for both gluten AND yeast-, May 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Easy Breadmaking for Special Diets : Wheat-Free, Milk- And Lactose-Free, Egg-Free, Gluten-Free, Yeast-Free, Sugar-Free, Low Fat, High To Low Fiber (Paperback)

I was eager to receive this book becasue I must avoid ALL gluten and ALL yeast --the book has only three recipes that fit this description --not worth the price if you have to avoid both substances--otherwise it's great--good info on bread machines
