5.0 out of 5 stars Managing Food Allergies? Enjoy French and Italian Meals!, June 26, 2007

By 

The Love of Food (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: French and Italian Cuisine Passport (Let's Eat Out!) (Paperback)

This guide is extremely to use. It provides sample menus that you'd see at French and Italian restaurants. Then you are provided with descriptions of each dish and how it is prepared and the ingredients used. From there you are provided with specific considerations as to how the preparation or ingredient list may affect you if you have Gluten or Allergen issues.

This book is the size of a passport, easy to carry in a pocket or purse, organized and well written. The French and Italian Cuisine Passport is perfect for making choices while traveling, or while dining at your favorite local restaurant.

This review is from: French and Italian Cuisine Passport (Let's Eat Out!) (Paperback)

I used this book on my trip to Italy and it was ideal! I was a little weary of going to begin with since I do not speak the language but once I recieved this book, I felt a lot less worrisome. I love how it is so small too :)
