This book asks and answers the questions, "How, then, can we live?" Not only do folks with multiple allergies have to avoid completely many common foods that are the basis of our national diet, they also must rotate other foods or food families, eating them just once or twice a week. Dumke provides recipes for a variety of foods, including desserts, ice cream, pizza, and other popular delights that allergy patients must give up. Many of the recipes, such as the ones for no-yeast bread, pizza crust, and teething biscuits, offer variations based on alternate flours. The book is enhanced by several indexes and tables. Food-family tables for all common plant and animal foods are indexed; there is a complete allergen avoidance index; an index to recipes by grains and alternatives; and a general index. This is a valuable addition to cookery collections and health collections and a helpful reference tool as well.
