Wonderful book for adventurous cooks on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD). After reading the SCD mecca (Elane Gottschall's book "Breaking the Vicious Cycle") I felt overwhelmed and uninspired until I picked up this book. Now -- totally psyched to cook and bake on my usual, minute-to-minute basis. The cashew bread is good, although my dad says they're a bit spongy; the herbed farmers' cheese actually made the stuff palatable! I'm going to try her pizza dough and mango & date chutn More...

I got this book because my boyfriend has Crohn's disease. Nice cookbook to have (especially with the Breaking The Vicious Cycle book by Elaine Gottschall) but a lot of the recipes are too fancy and the ingredients are hard to get (only at Capers/Whole Foods etc.) and/or are very expensive. It's nice to know that you can make something nice and fancy even when you're on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) though.

Faced with the challenge of cooking for a guest allergic to wheat, soy, rice and chocolate (bummer), I felt overwhelmed. This book saved me and my guest. Appetizing photos and delicious sounding , simple recipes...
