“This is a great book for families who have recently had a child diagnosed with a gluten, dairy, nut, soy or egg allergy or are learning to juggle multiple food allergies. The book starts off with tips for food safety and reducing cross contamination. It goes on to an FAQ section with experts before moving onto the recipes. The recipe section is coded with the 5 allergens – gluten, dairy, nut, soy, egg. Each has its own color square on the edge of each page so that locating recipes with that particular allergen gone is easy to do. The recipes are broken into meals – breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts, snacks, and parties. There are some rather neat features with this book. ” ––Reading All Year Long http://bit.ly/HNkfJw

This book is definitely full of recipes I will cook in our home. … This is probably one of my favorite cookbooks to date because of the fact that these are recipes that I know my daughter will enjoy as will my husband and I, and they are full of recipes that I can cook along with my daughter.” ––Celiac Disease http://bit.ly/AviLfY
