This review is from: No Wheat No Dairy No Problem: Delicious recipes for people with food allergies/sensitivity and everyone who is looking for healthy alternatives. The cookbook I wish I had! (Paperback)

I've been eating organic and all natural for a number of years now. However, my junk food loving husband's diet is another issue. No Wheat No Diary No Problem has grown my recipe base and education on healthy nutrition. The delicious factor of the recipes has helped convince my lactose intolerant, food allergy suffering husband that this type of eating is pretty good. This book has helped open the door in my household to healthier options for my spouse. I cannot thank Lauren enough.

This review is from: No Wheat No Dairy No Problem: Delicious recipes for people with food allergies/sensitivity and everyone who is looking for healthy alternatives. The cookbook I wish I had! (Paperback)

There are a lot of recipes in this book. Some are basic, some a little more advanced. I would love to add these recipes to my collection, however the book is laid out like a paperback novel. You can't lay the book flat, the recipes are not clearly written and the type so large and pages so small that the recipes take more than one page. I just don't think this is very usable for the kitchen. For $22 I want a cookbook that actually reads like a cookbook. I feel like I need to type the recipes out myself so I can see the whole thing at once.

This review is from: No Wheat No Dairy No Problem: Delicious recipes for people with food allergies/sensitivity and everyone who is looking for healthy alternatives. The cookbook I wish I had! (Paperback)

Two years ago, I was diagnosed with food sensitivities and placed on a gluten free, dairy free nutrition plan. I was at a loss as to what/how to eat. This cookbook is fabulous! Wonderful,easy to execute recipes along with helpful resources and tips has made this cookbook my go to guide. At Christmas I brought the cookbook with me to my mom's house and made three of the dishes for our dinner--no one knew the difference and my son preferred the gluten free chocolate chip cookies over the regular....high praise as he is a VERY picky eater!!
