5.0 out of 5 stars A Godsend for our Gluten/Dairy/Corn free family!, January 4, 2005

By	LaLa (USA) - See all my reviews

This book was not advertised as a Gluten free book, but naturally is free of gluten and dairy. It was also free of other high allergens for the most part, such as all the gluten containing grains, most corn, and more.

It was easy for us to jump into this diet that is based on pasture raised meat, vegetables, and fruits, nuts etc. A produce based way of eating that feels healthy and tastes good! Thank you for this blessing! I really enjoy the sections teaching me to make condiments at home as well as the base meals. My 4 year old daughter with Celiacs does very well on this diet. I highly recommend this book to anyone raising children with many food sensitivities as well as to anyone who just wants to be healthier in general!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Kitchen "Bible", December 4, 2005

By	S. Pojedinec "GlutenDairyFree Mama" (Georgia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As the mother of a child with food allergies and a health food fanatic, I cannot find one thing "wrong" with this book. Which is crazy because I can usually find something absent or misinforming in all cookbooks.

The recipes are stellar and easy. My family loves everything I have made from this book.

I reccomend it to ALL parents going gluten/dairy/soy/corn free. You must have this book. Not just for the recipes but for the priceless information about your food as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Think you can't live without grains/dairy? Yes you can!, October 29, 2005

By	Elizabeth Beasley "bluefizzure" (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Rachel Matesz has truly saved my life. I discovered I was allergic to wheat and dairy, yet struggled with sticking to a diet with neither. This HUGE book will give you a ton of recipes, each with variations, using fruits, veggies, meat, eggs, poultry, fish, nuts & nut butters, coconut milk and other paleo condiments. Many, many recipes for meats & veggies, plus time-saving protein spreads and creams for fruit for when you don't feel like eating meat for meal. I LOVE her mocha frosty recipe, protein-nut spreads on fruit, and her soups. I've easily tried over 30 recipes and each was awesome. You'll never miss wheat/grains/dairy ever again!
