3.0 out of 5 stars Not that great, July 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Yeast Connection Cookbook: A Guide to Good Nutrition and Better Health (Paperback)

There are some - too many - very tasteless recipes in this book. It also has a few too many recipes that have fruits that some people cant tolerate on this anti yeast diet. I asked someone who already had this book to tell me the recipes that she thought were good, and she only named 5 or 6. I recommend signing this book out from your local library if possible and trying recipes or looking for ones that may appeal to you instead of spending money on the book.

2.0 out of 5 stars I agree with the above review..., December 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Yeast Connection Cookbook: A Guide to Good Nutrition and Better Health (Paperback)

At the onset, the book looks chock-full of great, easy recipes for those working on yeast problems. But to actually make the recipes...I wonder if the authors actually tried them out. Ugh! Maybe their tastebuds are messed up. There are comments such as "Delicious! Satisfying!" Don't think so. Some tasteless things, and one of the breads didn't turn out like it was supposed to...what a mess...and the ingredients were expensive! Even though the directions were followed to a "t", it didn't work. But our dogs enjoyed it. The section about veggies and how to select the right ones was nice. If you are just starting a yeast-free program, be careful...some of these foods you can't have early in the yeast-free eating process. Some what worthwhile as a reference guide. Just keep an open mind that some dishes won't taste the way you would expect them to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, something I can bake!, November 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Yeast Connection Cookbook: A Guide to Good Nutrition and Better Health (Paperback)

Considering my many food allergies, I was thrilled to find this book. Finally, I can safely bake the breads and crackers I crave, instead of eating only plain cooked grains. The authors present a concrete plan to help me diversify my diet. I treasure the section that lists every vegetable I could imagine, how to shop for them, and how to prepare them. People whose taste buds are attuned to modern Western fare may balk at these recipes, but the book is a godsend for a person avoiding and rotating food allergens.
