Serving foods that are appetising is no easy task for the parent of a child on a gluten-free diet due to condition such as celiac disease. Forbidden foods -- wheat, rye, oats, and barley -- pervade most recipes and food labels are not always clearly marked. This cookbook, however, can save families time, money, and anguish by providing clear guidelines for selecting ingredients and preparing food safely. But best of all, this is the first cookbook to provide delectable gluten-free recipes formulated especially for children. The rest of the family will want to try them, too. In addition to food recipes, there are tips for cooking substitution, entertaining, a list of resources, as well as a detailed trouble-shooting chart for the gluten-free baker. Sanderson also offers advice on how to deal with situations outside the home that may compromise a child's diet, such as peer-pressure and day care.

Disappointed!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Incredible Edible Gluten-Free Food for Kids: 150 Family-Tested Recipes (Paperback)
I have a 4-year-old with celiac disease, so I was excited about this book. Unfortunately, when it arrived I discovered that the recipes didn't offer me as many new and different things to try as I had hoped. (I already own 4 other gluten-free cookbooks.) I tried the Breakast Muffin recipe. It was okay. Nothing special. If you don't own any gluten-free cookbooks already, this one may be good for you. Two things really bothered me. First the bread machine recipes never stated the size loaf you were making. I assume 2lb, but that's important info to leave out. Second, I felt that some recipes were included just to fill pages. One page is a recipe for a baked potato. The resources in the back are quite helpful, but you could easily find them other places.

Life Saver,
By Shannon Parrish (Katy, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Incredible Edible Gluten-Free Food for Kids: 150 Family-Tested Recipes (Paperback)
When I found out my 3 year old twins were gluten intolerant, I had no idea what to do or where to start. This book offered a wealth of information not only about recipes, but information on the disease as well as excellent resources. Sheri's recipes offered me time saving, excellent recipes to offer my kids. It was nice to have recipes that were already family tested. I was busy enough chasing my twins and entertaining my 6 year old daughter at the time. Not only did my 6 year old prefer the gluten free breads listed in this book over regular store bought bread, but I have had company (not gluten intolerant) tell me the bread was excellent and asked for more! Just last week my sister was here from out of town and I had to ask her to save it for my boys! I specifically like the rice tapioca bread, breakfast muffins, and the chicken with dijon sauce. Another thing I am thankful for is the recipe for gluten free play dough. My kids were able to go to preschool and play with play dough! I didn't have to worry about them getting ill from the other play dough the school provided. Most importantly, they didn't feel left out by not being allowed to play with the schools play dough. I would highly recommend this book to any family, even adult gluten intolerant individuals who want to save time, money, and heartache.

Opened the door to "normal" foods,
This review is from: Incredible Edible Gluten-Free Food for Kids: 150 Family-Tested Recipes (Paperback)
I really loved this book. My son is allergic to wheat, gluten and dairy. This book really opened the door for making alot of foods that my son use to eat, but no longer could have. My husband and I really liked the recipes too. The best part was that the recipes here did not have that bitter taste that we got with alot of batters and mixtures that we got from health food stores. Having this book really rediced alot of stress I had with my son's allergies.
