Average Rating: 
Rating:  - this book is great when you're willing to experiment
I purchased this book when I first discovered my food allergies (gluten, egg, dairy, etc.), and it was very helpful in getting me started and educated... It lists the integrity of many gluten-free flours, which really helped me learn to bake gluten-free and make the finished product taste good. However, I really wasn't able to enjoy any of the recipes straight out of the book (without modifying them). The flours such as quinoa and buckwheat are common in these recipes, and both flours have very strong ... Read More
Rating: - good information on variety of flours
I liked this book because my son is allergic to wheat, barley, rye, strawberries, coconut, red meats (yes, really), peanuts, tree nuts, and shellfish. While we did not rotate (HAD to do total avoidance!), I really liked the intro to so many new foods, such as amaranth, quinoa, and buckwheat, and her succinct flour chart at the front (which nicely describes their qualities for breading, baking, etc., as well as whether they contain gluten). I use it frequently for this alone!
However, as another ... Read More
Rating:  - Don't believe the book's title!
First the bad news: This book's title is an outright lie and should be changed (or the book's content changed to fulfill the title's promises). It claims to contain 350 recipes that are free of common allergens including gluten, soy, milk, etc. This is completely untrue. A large percentage of these recipes contain at least one of these allergens, usually with no options provided for substitutions. Particularly of note is the extensive use of items with hidden gluten and soy. People newly diagnosed with ... Read More
Rating:  - Sub-titles are extremely mis-leading - soy, nut and sugar-FULL!
I'm not the first person to leave this review, but while the publishers claim "..free of all common food allergens..." this is completely untrue. I purchased it knowing that there might be a few recipes with a few of my more unusual allergens in it (say, carrots), but I think there are perhaps 10 recipes in the entire book that I can use (after further substitution) - because the rest have nuts, soy or SUGAR as a primary ingredient.
Let's talk about the sugar for a moment. I also need to watch ... Read More
Rating:  - Tasty!
This remarkable book has not only freed me - and my wife - from embarrassing sneezing and oozing rashes, it's blessed my kitchen with the best recipes for sand I've ever tasted!
