Book Description

December 26, 2006
When her daughter was diagnosed with a dangerous digestive problem that left her weakened and sick, author Kendall Conrad started searching for a way to save her child’s failing health. The answer came when a nutritionist recommended the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD). Created by Elaine Gottschall, this revolutionary program is extraordinarily effective in relieving the debilitating and often painful symptoms of ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, diverticulitis, IBS, Crohn’s disease, and other common ailments. Simply by eliminating virtually all starch and complex sugars and eating a balance of smart carbohydrates, good proteins and fats, and essential vitamins and minerals, many people experience a complete restoration of digestive health. For Conrad’s daughter, the results were incredible. Thrilled with her daughter’s rapid recovery, she began creating recipes for delicious dishes for the whole family, following Gottschall’s guidelines, without sacrificing an ounce of taste or variety.

In Eat Well, Feel Well, Conrad shares more than 150 recipes for quick and easy dishes for casual meals and elegant dinner parties alike. The appetizers and starters range from updated classics like Curried Deviled Eggs with Mango-Currant Chutney to such enticing, exotic fare as Thai Beef Salad with Papaya and Toasted Coconut and Egyptian Red Lentil Soup. Main course ideas include everything from Whole Roasted Red Snapper Stuffed with Fennel and Citrus and Ground Beef Chili with Navy Beans to kid-pleasers such as a simple Cheese Soufflé and Honey-Garlic Chicken Drummettes. Dozens of recipes for snacks, desserts, breakfast dishes, and beverages will help you integrate the SCD way of eating into your family’s lifestyle with ease, grace, and creativity.

If you or someone in your family suffers from a digestive disorder, these wonderful recipes based on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet will revolutionize the way you eat.
Kendall Conrad appeared with Elaine Gottschall, the author of the global bestseller Breaking the Vicious Cycle, to share the story of her daughter’s near-miraculous recovery from a dangerous digestive disorder using the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. She lives with her husband and their two daughters in Montecito, California.


Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Although this cookbook, based on nutritionist Gottschall's "Specific Carbohydrate Diet," is geared toward people with thorny digestive problems like celiac disease or colitis, these recipes are tasty, simple and healthy enough to make you forget you're cutting out such staples as wheat, flour, milk and sugar. Fresh Spring Rolls with Spicy Chile Dipping Sauce are colorful little bundles of shrimp and mango wrapped in thinly-sliced cucumber, a compelling alternative to the usual deep-fried take-out version. Chilled Pea Soup takes about 10 minutes to prepare, but is creamy and decadent enough for a celebration. Aromatic Roast Pork Loin with Stewed Fruits is luscious, although the portion sizes are perhaps over-generous; the four-serving recipe calls for two pounds of meat. The author includes not only a handful of compelling wheat-free desserts-Lemon-Coconut Macaroons are particularly addictive-but also a list of exotic beverages such as spicy Blood-Orange Ginger Fizz and sweetly smooth Mango Lassi. The only drawback to this thoughtful, health-conscious collection is the lack of photographs or illustrations-although most of these recipes are straightforward enough that they beg no illustrating, only eating.

4.0 out of 5 stars A welcome addition to the SCD cookbook library, August 16, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Eat Well, Feel Well: More Than 150 Delicious Specific Carbohydrate Diet(TM)-Compliant Recipes (Hardcover)
While I'm happy to have another SCD cookbook to follow, I was unable to give this one 5 stars for two reasons. First, the SCD can be an expensive diet to follow, and some of the recipes in this book make it even more expensive. It includes ingredients that are not available or are costly in your average grocery store, such as truffle oil, macadamia nuts, and Hachiya persimmons. Several different varieties of fresh herbs are required for some recipes. I found that going to get the ingredients for just one recipe put a dent in my grocery budget. This all leads up to the second reason for the 4 stars - it is a bit gourmet/fancier than your average cookbook. So while I don't think this is the best book for the average American family, I do think it is worth having if you are on the SCD. It does contain many simpler recipes as well that I've made successfully and were delicious. I would probably be more comfortable serving recipes from this book on special occasions as compared to other SCD compliant recipes.

Another comment I feel obliged to make is that I am both the patient requiring SCD and the cook in the house, so for me simpler is always better. The ingredients to some recipes require completing a previous recipe, and that can be overwhelming for me at times. If I were healthy and preparing these recipes for someone else, I would probably be less critical. If you enjoy cooking and have the time and energy to do it, this book may well become your all-time favorite. So far, Grain-Free Gourmet still tops my list, but I highly recommend recommend anyone on the SCD add this to their library. You can never have too many cookbooks when your choice of foods is limited.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not my favorite SCD, March 30, 2008
This review is from: Eat Well, Feel Well: More Than 150 Delicious Specific Carbohydrate Diet(TM)-Compliant Recipes (Hardcover)
This was my 5th SCD cookbook purchase, one I was most excited about at the time, and now my least favorite. The first disappointment was the heavy reliance on garlic as a seasoning, which my body cannot tolerate, and frankly is boring. There's more to flavor than garlic. For example, the Hot and Sour Soup, which she claims her kids love, contains 2 Tbsp minced garlic plus 4 jalepeno chilis. Yowser! The second disappointment was thinking that I should keep it anyway just to learn some different techniques (like the cashew butter tortillas), but Oops - needs special equipment. A third is the large number of recipes relying on legumes, none of which my bowels can tolerate. A fourth is the intimidation factor of some of the recipes and I'm not a shy cook. I've had this book since not long after it came out and I use all my other SCD cookbooks instead. Sigh... I'm still holding out though. As I go through it, the recipes and pictures are still inspiring. There are better books to start with, but this one is still worthy in a limited sense, especially for those with less sensitive guts than mine.

4.0 out of 5 stars a bit too gourmet for an all around cookbook, July 18, 2007
This review is from: Eat Well, Feel Well: More Than 150 Delicious Specific Carbohydrate Diet(TM)-Compliant Recipes (Hardcover)
ingredients are a bit more posh than other scd diet cookbooks. this makes for nice looking fancy food. but unless you are employed full time as a chef...i dont know how practical it is for everyday scd diet cookiing, though it is a good place to look for ideas, or if you want to make a nice fancy meal.
