Editorial Review:
When her daughter was diagnosed with a dangerous digestive problem that left her weakened and sick, author Kendall Conrad started searching for a way to save her child’s failing health. The answer came when a nutritionist recommended the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD). Created by Elaine Gottschall, this revolutionary program is extraordinarily effective in relieving the debilitating and often painful symptoms of ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, diverticulitis, IBS, Crohn’s disease, and other common ailments. Simply by eliminating virtually all starch and complex sugars and eating a balance of smart carbohydrates, good proteins and fats, and essential vitamins and minerals, many people experience a complete restoration of digestive health. For Conrad’s daughter, the results were incredible. Thrilled with her daughter’s rapid recovery, she began creating recipes for delicious dishes for the whole family, following Gottschall’s guidelines, without sacrificing an ounce of taste or variety. In Eat Well, Feel Well, Conrad shares more than 150 recipes for quick and easy dishes for casual meals and elegant dinner parties alike. The appetizers and starters range from updated classics like Curried Deviled Eggs with Mango-Currant Chutney to such enticing, exotic fare as Thai Beef Salad with Papaya and Toasted Coconut and Egyptian Red Lentil Soup. Main course ideas include everything from Whole Roasted Red Snapper Stuffed with Fennel and Citrus and Ground Beef Chili with Navy Beans to kid-pleasers such as a simple Cheese Soufflé and Honey-Garlic Chicken Drummettes. Dozens of recipes for snacks, desserts, breakfast dishes, and beverages will help you integrate the SCD way of eating into your family’s lifestyle with ease, grace, and creativity.If you or someone in your family suffers from a digestive disorder, these wonderful recipes based on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet will revolutionize the way you eat.
Kendall Conrad appeared with Elaine Gottschall, the author of the global bestseller Breaking the Vicious Cycle, to share the story of her daughter’s near-miraculous recovery from a dangerous digestive disorder using the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. She lives with her husband and their two daughters in Montecito, California.

Rating:  - Great Recipes!
The recipes in this book are fantastic! My only challenge is keeping all the fresh fruits and veggies on hand. In rural Maine, some of the ingredients are hard to find...but I use it whenever I am able and feel better when I eat by the books philosophy.
Rating:  - Not my favorite SCD
This was my 5th SCD cookbook purchase, one I was most excited about at the time, and now my least favorite. The first disappointment was the heavy reliance on garlic as a seasoning, which my body cannot tolerate, and frankly is boring. There's more to flavor than garlic. For example, the Hot and Sour Soup, which she claims her kids love, contains 2 Tbsp minced garlic plus 4 jalepeno chilis. Yowser! The second disappointment was thinking that I should keep it anyway just to learn some different ... Read More
Rating: - Although creative and tasty, recipes aggravated my condition.
I tried a few of these recipes. The Ahi Tuna Salad sounded great but all of those onions (I still added less than recommended) overpowered the ahi and worsened my Ulcerative Colitis.
I also tried the ribs. I ate only 3 and paid for it. Fortunately, my husband loved them so they didn't go to waste. It's a lot of work to make many of these dishes and they still pushed the limits for me.
Rating:  - Apalling!
Gorgeous book -- but the recipes I've tried are worthless. I was really excited about the cashew butter tortillas, in particular, and even bought a tortilla maker. I have no idea how the author even calls the result a tortilla. It was more like a fried cashew butter cookie -- sweet and it crumbled the moment you picked it up. Save your money.
Rating: - Excellent, creative specific carbohydrate cookbook!
I have enjoyed all the recipes that I have made from this specific carbohydrate cookbook. It feels the need for things you want and need and couldn't figure out how to make on your own. For example, spring rolls, cashew tortillas, and blueberry muffins. Some of the ingredients are harder to find, but if you plan ahead you can be well supplied for unexpected guests and special events with healthy, beautiful entres and good things for the kids.
