5.0 out of 5 stars Lifesaver for vegetarian allergy sufferers, May 1, 2006

I was so relieved to find this allergy free vegetarian recipe book after being diagnosed with mulitple food allergies. The recipes are user-friendly and unlike other allergy cookbooks I didn't have to make a special trip to the health food store to purchase special food substitutes and expensive ingredients in order to start cooking. My husband and I take turns preparing dinner and he enjoys the simplicity of the recipes and actually looks forward to serving up a new meal that is both "safe " for me to eat and delicious for the rest of the family to enjoy. I am interested in learning more about Dr. Rettner's chiropractic treatment for curing food allergies and I plan to look for someone in my area who is familiar with this technique. I highly reccomend this uncomplicated cookbook for allergy sufferers who would prefer not to have to take formal cooking classes before preparing delicious meals while they adjust to a new way of eating. The book has been a lifesaver for me!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good idea, but..., February 24, 2007

I've been looking at cookbooks for people with allergies to dairy, soy, eggs and nuts. I was excited by the title of this book, but after looking at many of the recipes (especially in the dessert section) I was disappointed. The author calls for margarine in many of the soy-free recipes--but as far as I know a soy-free margarine does not exist.

I recommend the cookbook "150 Vegan Favorites." Solomon has many soy-free, healthy and exciting recipes.

2.0 out of 5 stars Redundant information, June 9, 2001

I did not care much for this book. The recipes provided can be found in any cookbook dealing with allergies, and there was only a limited number of allergenic foods for which recipes were given. However, there is some useful information given in the book that would be helpful to a person just beginning to manage food allergies. Also, there is a little information on how to manage allergies naturally, through chiropractic manipulation. The reason I only gave this book a 2-star rating is that the average chiropractor will not know the techniques used, but of course one can always purchase the videos advertised in the book explaining to one's chiropractor how to do these tests and manipulations. I feel that if an author is going to present information in a book, one should not have to pay extra (by buying videos) to get the information needed.
