Fabulous Allergy-Free Recipes! April 7, 2008

I purchased this book about a month ago and have been cooking most of our family's meals from it since. I am back to buy another one for my sister who is pregnant right now with her first child. (I thought the introduction to solid foods list for babies in the back of the book would be useful to her).
About 2 years ago both of my sons were diagnosed with ADHD. Since then, our family has been on a health kick. I put both of my sons on a GF / CF diet (i.e. gluten-free, casein-free) to help with their disorder and it has helped tremendously.
I have found it difficult to find a cookbook that addresses moving towards a healthier whole foods type diet AND one that is gluten-free and dairy-free. This book is just that. (Though there are a few recipes with gluten, nearly all are gluten-free or give options for being gluten-free).
The book starts out with information on food sensitivities to gluten, dairy, and eggs. Which is very informative and simple to understand. Then it moves on to what it means to eat whole foods. They even have a beautiful full color chart about dietary components - reminiscent of a food pyramid but much healthier. The authors eloquently and simply state the 7 Good Reasons to Eat Whole Foods, which we refer to regularly to remind us to stay on track.
Then there is a chapter on eating organic food and a list of the top 12 foods to buy organic. The authors have a great chapter on Making the Change, which gives simple tips to help move towards a healthier diet. After that, a sample 7 day menu is given, which we have used several times to plan a meal - especially helpful when we have company!
My favorite chapter is the Stocking Your Whole Foods Pantry. I have modified it and typed one up of my own which I take shopping with me.
For the novice cook, there is a short chapter on Definition of Cooking Techniques. I have actually read through it twice and learned things I never knew.
Then the recipes.....mmmmm! I am not sure where to begin. I have yet to find one that we don't like. Luckily my boys are great at trying new things. Most of the recipes they like, though a few they have not, but that it typical for a 4 and 6 yr old!
Bean cooking charts and information on cooking whole grains are in the recipes section. Then there are little "chef's tips" and "going gluten-free tips" throughout the book.
Here are some of my favorite recipes: Buckwheat Pancakes, Banana Walnut Muffins, Peachy Millet Flour Muffins, Red Lentil Dal, Vegetarian Chipotle Chili, Winter Quinoa Salad, Tofu with Garlic Ginger Kudzu Sauce, Spiced Citrus Salmon, Indian Chicken Curry, Lemon Basil Pesto, Cabbage Salad with Cilantro Vinaigrette(my boys actually love this), Beet Kale and Walnut Salad, Raw Almond and Vegetable Pate, Lemon Blueberry Pudding, Gingerbread Cake, Chocolate Truffles, and the Avocado Fig Fudgesicles.
This book has been worth every cent!

This book is not unlike others of its kind. It is very informative about cooking whole foods i.e. nuts, seeds, beans, grains, legumes, and vegetables. Excellent charts for time and amounts which are helpful. The recipes are varied and interesting and I think the variety is carefully planned.
A Work of Art March 11, 2008

Every recipe that we have tried has been excellent and this is the only cookbook in which I have faith in the recipe I am following (without having to make changes as I go). I am lactose intolerant and very sensitive to wheat and it is a joy to have vegetarian recipes that do not rely on those two ingredients. After the third meal I cooked, my husband was excitedly looking through the book wanting to know what I was going to fix next. It is obvious that every recipe has been tested. This book is truly a work of art. Thank you so much for increasing our food possibilities and bring joy back into my cooking. A side benefit of tasty food is that we are both feeling much better as we are eating food that is good for our bodies. With this cookbook, it is easy to eat healthy.

I admit it--I enjoy cookbooks and read them like novels and this is one, wonderful cookbook! I love it! But I have found that it is more than a cookbook--it is a knowledgeable and comprehensive guide to learning to live a whole life through the food we choose to eat, with encouragement and enjoyment on every page. As consumers we are aware of how our food supply has become increasingly over-processed resulting in "filler" food with little nourishment for our bodies and souls. This book gently shows us with straight-forward, creative and delicious recipes how we can make changes to live healthier and balanced lives with whole foods. I read somewhere that if you find one favorite recipe in a cookbook it was worth the purchase price--I have found many new, favorite recipes in this cookbook!
