5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to find recipes December 4, 2008

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

My favorite part of this book is that at the top of each recipe there are icons that tell you what it is free of. My second favorite part is that there are recipes for substitutes...like egg substitutes. Great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good resource for the allergy prone May 29, 2012

I was pleased to find such a clear, concise book that helps explain the differences between allergies and food intolerance. The author Linda Larsen, who has a BS in Food Science and Nutrition, gives a detailed and informative explanation of how the two differ. For example: While I have never been tested for milk allergy, after reading her explanation I suspect I have a true milk allergy and not lactose intolerance based on my response to dairy products. This has been a lifelong condition which has worsened with time. I am now down to eating soy milk and try to stay away from most dairy products.

I also have problems with most nuts, fruits and sometimes eggs. Life can get interesting when it comes to eating.

Thanks to Larsen's book: The Everything Food Allergy Cookbook I now have some new recipes to try that will hopefully help some of my food and/or food intolerance issues.

Inside this book you will find icons that will help make selecting recipes easier when it comes to choosing the right recipe for the right health condition. Icons are also provided showing whether the recipe is dairy free, wheat free, egg free, soy free, fish free or nut free.

Some of the recipes you will find in this cookbook include:

Egg Substitute for Baking
Not Peanut Butter
Gluten-Free Brownie Mix
Eggless French Toast
Cherry Coffee Cake
Gluten-Free Biscuits
Honey Rolls
Creamy Fruit Salad
Turkey Fruit Salad
Dairy-Free Olive Cheese Ball
Yogurt Cheese Balls
Refried Bean Dip
Chicken Asparagus Pasta
Grilled Ranch Chicken
Asian Steaks
Pesto Beef Stir-Fry
Skillet Chops and Veggies
Fresh Tomato Rotini
Garlic Lover's Pizza
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Truffle Brownies
Apple Snack Cake
Graham Crackers

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst allergy cookbook ever June 4, 2012

By Yvonne Dreptate

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have to say the intro to the book was well written.
Everything after that... Well, the title of the book says allergy free cooking, can you explain to me then why the majority of the recipies include the top 8 allergens?
When people are diagnosed with an allergy, the first thing they will do is buy books to help. Let me tell you save your money. Google whatever recipies you need because this book is not worth it. After reading the intro I paged thru the breakfast section, more than half have egg in them. The same goes with the other allergens. So if you have more than one allergy good luck recreating some of these recipies.
Just before the recipies the author states that you can just substitute ingredients that you may be allergic to with non allergic ingredients. I can tell you from over 10 years experence this rarely works. Unless there is a tested recipie that they provide you will not only be wasting money on this book, you will be wasting time and money on preperation on a recipie that most likley wont turn out You have enough on your plate, pun intented, dealing with food allergies, don't waste your energy. Stick with food blogs written by people who actually make the recipies. I promise they will taste better, you will save money and reduce your stress.
Ps.
Good luck with your food allergy!!
