Review

"This clever book is not just a great supplement to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, making dieting into a pleasure, but will also ensure the whole family enjoys a healthy, varied, and yummy diet. I feel lucky to have it in my kitchen."
--Mik Aidt, Founder and co-webmaster, www.scdiet.org


"People following a restrictive diet often lament the loss of foods and flavors they love. Raman Prasad's subtle modifications of delicious recipes from around the globe bring international flavor and zest to your home's SCD kitchen. There is no passport required for this delicious quest for a healthy gut!"
--Mike Simons, Co-webmaster, www.scdiet.org


"Raman Prasad shares his personal experience in this comprehensive cookbook. It is a wonderful contribution and tribute to Elaine Gottschall and it will be an invaluable resource for those suffering with gastrointestinal issues. He provides a comprehensive overview of the science behind the diet, menus, holiday traditions, and gourmet recipes. This book will give families the confidence they need to heal."
--Pam Ferro, R.N., Founder of The Gottschall Autism Center


"Raman Prasad's book is for those who've understood the value of the SCD and want some excitement and variety in their diet. While Elaine Gottschall's Specific Carbohydrate Diet can be as simple or complicated as one would choose, Raman's contribution brings new life and continuance to Elaine's lifelong pursuit of restored health for those who continue to struggle with inflammatory bowel disease."
--Rachel Turet, Founder, Long Island SCD Listserv


"My secret to happily staying on the SCD is to keep it interesting. Raman Prasad's wonderful recipes will make that easier for all of us on this exciting journey of health through diet." -- Lucy Rossett, Founder and Owner of Lucy's Kitchen Shop and author of Lucy's Specific Carbohydrate Diet(TM) Cookbook


Product Description

The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is a strict grain-free, lactose-free, and sucrose-free dietary regimen intended for those suffering from Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (both forms of IBD), celiac disease, IBS, cystic fibrosis, and autism. It is based on the work of Elaine Gottschall, who wrote Breaking the Vicious Cycle, which introduces the SCD and explains the importance of eliminating certain carbohydrates in order to alleviate digestive ailments such as IBD, IBS, and celiac disease.

For those suffering from gastrointestinal illnesses, the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) offers a method for easing symptoms and pain, and ultimately regaining health. Recipes for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet(TM) offers a diverse and delicious collection of 150 SCD-friendly recipes, that includes over 80 dairy-free recipes. The easy-to-make and culturally diverse recipes featured in the book include breakfast dishes, appetizers, main dishes, and desserts such as -- Hazelnut-Vanilla Pancakes, Olive Sandwich Bread, Chicken Satay, Roasted Bass with Parsley Butter, Thin Crust Pizza, Gretel's Gingerbread Cookies, and Mango Ice Cream. It is accompanied by 40 full-color photos that will inspire you to get cooking again. In addition, personal anecdotes accompany each section of this book. You can find out more about this book on-line at www.scdrecipe.com/cookbook/.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic - food really tastes good!, February 11, 2008
This is my first review but I had to write one because this book is fantastic! I have made five recipes in the past five days and my 5 year old son (with severe ulcerative colitis) has loved every single one (the rest of the family has loved the food too)! I own every SCD cookbook and this one seems to have the most recipes that are winners. So far, we have made: a chinese chicken dish (actually tastes like chinese chicken but without soy sauce- amazing); vietnamese pork (same); almond puff (tastes like cake!); chili-lime crackers (tastes like mild cheez-its!); and shortbread (buttery and tasty). We are going to keep trying recipes but love this cookbook and wanted to post this review while ordering another copy for my son's grandmom. Well worth adding to your library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yummy New SCD Cookbook, February 28, 2008
By Amy McKenna (Ann Arbor, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have a new favorite cookbook! It's "Recipes for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet" by Raman Prasad. Although the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) includes lots of great food choices, it doesn't allow for dining at my favorite Asian and Indian restaurants. Raman's culturally diverse recipes are bursting with the flavors of the ethnic cuisines I've been missing. One of my favorites so far is Kung Pao Chicken, which is wonderfully flavored with Raman's SCD Asian Sauce (hurray for a yummy soy sauce substitute!). And in my opinion the Beef Vindaloo rivals some of the best Indian restaurants in our town. I love, love, love this cookbook's mouthwatering photography; the compelling foreword and introduction to the diet; and the personal touch of Raman's stories about food, family, and friends. I highly recommend this great cookbook for anyone who wants to add some pizzaz to their SCD fare.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple but yummy recipes!, February 12, 2008
By J. Wahlin (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I recently acquired this book and have tried a couple of recipes so far. My pet peeve with other cookbooks is having to buy several obscure ingredients that I'm unlikely to use again so I love the simplicity of the recipes and use of everyday ingredients. My favorite dish is the Lemon chicken which I foresee repeating often in the future! I've also ordered a second copy of the book for a relative with Asperger's syndrome who also follows a restricted diet and would love to try some of the foods in this book.
