Excellent book, funny, informative and the food is great!August 19, 1999 29 out of 29 found this review helpful
A particularly good book for parents who are just starting to diagnose and/or attempt to deal with a child's allergies. The author has crammed this book full of helpful advice and references as well as delicious and easy recipes that kids (and adults) enjoy. Recipes for basic items like baking powder and ketchup are included. This is one of the three books we recommend to other parents of kids with food allergies.

A fun, practical corkbook that's well within reachMarch 6, 2006 Mom of 2...2 & under(NH) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love this cookbook & use it all the time! My daughter has many allergies (tree nuts included) so we haven't been able to use all the recipes, but those that we have are wonderful! I keep checking back, hoping to see another book by this author, but haven't found any so far. As for the "rantings" spoken about in another review....I read the book cover to cover and didn't find anything that fits that description. I enjoyed Ms. Meyer's stories of her children and her 'journey' and appreciate her having shared it. Thanks!
Good recipes even in non-allergic kitchenOctober 15, 2004 S. Stockton(Austin, Texas USA) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This cookbook is simple, easy to follow and encourages you to cook from scratch without giving you a guilt-complex. The stuffed-cabbage recipe alone is worth the cost. I'd never done it before, got a wild hair- tried it and we loved it. My kids like making their own cokes, too. Basically, they like to make just about anything and this was the cookbook that convinced me to bring them into the kitchen. I originally bought this to cook for my grandma (celiac) but it is a staple in my kitchen even though nobody's allergic. Not every recipe works for us, but most do. I think it's a great "family" type cookbook. We are by no means health-food nuts either- if anything more junk-food nuts. FYI- I have a (picky) teen, (super picky) toddler and a (eat anything but peaches) baby. I encourage you to try this cookbook, especially if your kids are allergic. Good luck!
One of my favorite resources for my severely allergic childMay 17, 2003 R. Fleming(United States) 10 out of 12 found this review helpful
When my child was first diagnosed I ordered twenty different recipe/cookbooks for special diets/allergies. This is one of 2 that I actually use frequently. The recipes are simple and my child likes them. The information on substituting ingredients and creating safe versions of forbidden items is excellent. Most of all I found the author's attitude and sense of humor very liberating and empowering. Reading this book always makes me feel that I can do this. It's an excellent starter book to help a parent or the newly diagnosed person with food allergies to get control of their diet and attitude. I highly recommend it.
