About the Author

About Linda Coss
When Linda Coss' oldest son (now a college student) was first diagnosed with life-threatening food allergies, this was an extremely uncommon and almost unknown condition. Few resources were available, the internet did not really exist, manufacturers were not required to list all ingredients on food packages, and schools had no experience accommodating these children s special needs. It was her experiences in learning to care for and cook for her son that motivated Ms. Coss to take action to help others.
Since then Linda Coss has written and self-published three books for the food allergy market, and is the founder and leader emeritus of a local food allergy support group (she handed over leadership after 13 years at the helm). Linda also gives presentations to both parents and medical professionals about food allergies and the issues involved in raising severely food-allergic children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review by The Food Allergy Assistant, December 7, 2008

By 

Food Allergy Assistant (Collegeville, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What Else is to Eat? The Dairy-, Egg-, and Nut-Free Food Allergy Cookbook (Paperback)

I already own a well-worn copy of Linda Coss's first cookbook "What's to Eat?", so I eagerly anticipated her newest selection of recipes. I wasn't disappointed. Many people are amazed that I cook and bake such GOOD food without dairy, eggs or nuts. I credit Linda for creating many of our favorites.

Here's a scrumptious sample of what we've been eating this week from "What Else is to Eat?":

Iced Honey Cookies (page 126)- we took these to a friend's house for dinner. They were a huge hit...easy to make and yummy to eat!

Spaghetti and Meatball Soup (page 26)- "This is really good, Mom!" was all I needed to hear.

Slow Cooker Beef With Rosemary and Potatoes (page 37)- Crockpots make life a bit easier, don't they? In just a few minutes I had everything in the slow cooker and voila', eight hours later, a delicious meal. Next time I'll chop the rosemary finely as my children picked off the "green pieces".

Linda's Signature Grilled Chicken (page 49)- Just four ingredients in a zip-top bag, with some chicken. I didn't grill, though, as our high temperature was 38 degrees that day, but it worked fine in the oven.

Disappearing Chocolate Oatmeal Delights (page 124)- these really did disappear in our house!

Coss's first recipe book ("What's to Eat?") is perfect for those who need basic food allergy recipes for items like pancakes, waffles, chocolate chip cookies and plain white cake. I find Linda's second book, "What Else is to Eat?", ideal for those of us who have the essentials, but are now hungry for the next level. Get them both and amaze your family and friends with delicious dishes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great For Everyone!!!, September 9, 2008

Scott Greenberg "Scott G." (Orange County, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: What Else is to Eat? The Dairy-, Egg-, and Nut-Free Food Allergy Cookbook (Paperback)

As a neighbor of Linda Coss I had the good fortune of being both a "recipe taster" and "recipe tester" for this book. Although no one in my household has food allergies, I can honestly say that I LOVE this cookbook! Some of my favorites include the Orange County Salmon Salad (better than a restaurant salad), Hoisin Chicken, and Family-Style Slow Cooker Chicken. My 10-year-old son regularly asks me to make Jason's 4-Star Brisket and the Sloppy Joe Wraps (a really great choice for after soccer or baseball practice, when we're both starving and I have no time to cook). Of course, we enjoy all of the baked goods, too (although I'm not a baker myself).

As a busy single dad I don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. These recipes are fast, easy, and delicious. A big thumbs up!
