5.0 out of 5 stars At Last!, September 28, 2001

This cookbook makes cooking for my family of picky eaters much easier. The taste is certainly gourmet, but the preparation time isn't. When I take any of the dishes to a potluck, everyone raves! Ms O'Brien even explains wheat and sugar alternatives and gives ideas for substitutions for wheat-full, sugar-full recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Allergy-free cooking never tasted so good!, September 28, 2001

By 

barb schiltz (Seattle, WA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wheat Free, Sugar Free Gourmet Cooking (Spiral-bound)

WOW - This book has finally shown those who cannot tolerate wheat and refined sugars that food can still taste yummy! Just wait until you try the gingerbread - it tastes like REAL gingerbread but is made with rice flour! It would even fool the biggest gingerbread addict! If you are also allergic to dairy, most of the recipes can use dairy substitutes like rice, almond, or soy milk.
Sue was allergic herself and so she really knows what is important for those like herself. However, if you are not allergic, you can still enjoy this cookbook because it offers a healthier approach to eating. She also educates the reader on all the alternatives available for the most allergic foods. As a nutrition consultant, I suggest this book for most of my patients, both as an educational tool and cookbook.
