Although this book has some good recipes, it isn't the book the first one is. Her first book had recipes that were much easier to cook and to adapt to your own child's needs (if they had any yeast problems or other allergies). This cook book is good but if you can only buy one, spend the money on the first one or on a Carol Fenster cookbook.

However, you need BOTH Special Diets for Special Kids and Special Diets for Special Kids II - both books go together!! The recipes in this book are great! GREAT HINTS TOO!

purchased this book for my son and daughter-in-law to help with
my grandson Conor who is overcoming Austistic Spectrum disorder.
Lori says this is her "bible" for advise in caring and feeding her 3 year old.

Lisa Lewis has been cooking GF/CF for MANY years and she has many great ideas for modifying recipes and making them taste great.

I bought this book in conjunction with starting my son on the GFCF diet and it has proven to be a great resource for me! I highly recommend it to anyone who is going down the GFCF road.

Like the first book, this one is chock full of valuable information for parents of children who need to be on a gluten-free and/or casein-free diet. And I'm glad the author questions the use of soy as a replacement for dairy. The fact that we don't know whether soy peptides can cause autism or other neurological disorders is of definite concern. I would also suggest another reason for caution: a serving of soy is like a dose of estrogen. And, as most of us know, excess estrogen has been linked to the onset and spread of cancer. It is for this very reason that many oncologists tell their cancer patients not to drink or eat any soy-based products.

This is a great cookbook for any parent who has a child on the GF/CF diet.

Great source of reference for gluten/casein free diet. Excellent recipes, specially the Quickie Baking Mix and the pancakes. The best gf/cf pancakes that I've tried, and belive me, I've tried many!!!

This is a great second book and I highly recommend it. There are so many great recipes and much information. You won't be loaning this one out to anyone, because you'll need it as a resource!

I am amazed at the number and variety of recipes in this book. I use it almost daily.
