More About the Author
Kelly, of TheSpunkyCoconut.com, began to study nutrition in 2004 when her girls were very young. Her daughter, Ashley, was a baby and Zoe was a toddler at that time. Both girls were not well. Her naturopathic doctor worked with them to radically change their diet by removing gluten, casein, and sugar. Kelly and her husband soon realized that their own health problems could be resolved as well. It was very eye-opening to see how many kinds of issues could be treated with the diet. So, after years of research and experimentation, Kelly now creates food so similar to conventional wheat/dairy/sugar recipes that no one feels deprived. Together, through diet and biomedical treatments, their family is overcoming celiac disease, gluten-intolerance, ADD, and autism with great success. Kelly lives in Boulder County, Colorado with her husband and two daughters.

If you suffer from food allergies (gluten, casein, sugar) this book is for you. Kelly Brozyna's recipes are unique and original and are so delicious they make you forget what you had to give up because of allergies. The photographs look great and the recipe instructions are easy to follow. Ms. Brozyna kept in mind that most people don't have a lot of time and her recipes are not time consuming or complicated. There is also an informative section in the beginning that deals with food storage, sugar avoidance, natural sweeteners, autism, and all around healthy living. I highly recommend the almond muffins, custard pie and broccoli quiche. I look forward to making and eating a better variety of "safe" foods with The Spunky Coconut Cookbook!

I have over 100 cookbooks..most are "regular" cookbooks, but also began hoarding GFCF cookbooks two years ago when I put my child on the GFCF diet. After you buy so many, they kind of blend in together and become kinda similar. I thought this book was a bit pricey, but went ahead and ordered it. This book appears to be very unique. I am a HUGE coconut lover and think it is a wonderful sub for products he can no longer have. I love that she uses coconut milk, oil, etc. I made the banana bread last night and it tasted just like "regular" banana bread! I sliced it and served it to my son for breakfast this morning with turkey bacon and he loved it! I individually froze thick slices of this for future use :) I can't wait to try the quiche recipe and many others. They only drawback is the specialty stevia which is not as accessible in stores. For the bread, I just used stevia extract (2 drops) and it turned out fine. Also, the cookies are made out of left over soaked nuts from making nut milk, and we buy Rice Milk in a box, so we would have to soak our own nuts, which can be rather expensive. Other than this, this is a VERY unique cookbook. I can't wait to try more!

The Raw Key Lime Pie is amazingly delicious. The Flourless Brownies are heavenly - my kids love them. The Freezer Fudge is yummmmmy. I'm really looking forward to trying the rest of Kelly's recipes.
