Best allergy cook book, my mom used this book for me growing up with severe food allergies and to this day (I am 25 now) they are the best recipes out there!!!

I only gave this cook book 4 stars because it has a lot of ingredients in bold that mean "use a safe version of this product for you". The only problem with that is that many parents might not know where or how to find safe alternatives. For a couple years I couldn't use this book because I couldn't find a safe dairy-free, soy-free shortening. Now that I have found one I can enjoy more of her recipes. It would have been nice to have a glossary with a list of stores where to find the alternatives she has used to make her recipes. Otherwise, she actually has great tasting recipes, I like all of the variation she has for rice, potatoes and chicken since those are things we eat over and over again at our house. She also has menu ideas on the back of the book for when you have guests over or for Thanksgiving for example. She does use wheat and oats so if you are on a gluten-free diet you will have to experiment with gluten-free flour a bit, another reason why this book is not the easiest to use for our wheat allergic child.

In this empathetic and comprehensive guide, Dr. Scott H. Sicherer, a specialist in pediatric food allergies, gives parents the information they need to manage their children’s health and quality of life. He describes why children develop food allergy, the symptoms of food allergy (affecting the skin, the gastrointestinal tract, and the respiratory system), and the role of food allergy in behavioral problems and developmental disabilities. Parents will learn how to recognize emergency situations, how to get the most out of a visit with an allergist, what allergy test results mean, and how to protect their children—at home, at school, at summer camp, and in restaurants.

Informative, compassionate, and practical, this guide will be indispensable for parents, physicians, school nurses, teachers, and everyone else who cares for children with food allergies.

I love this cookbook! This one is by far the best and easiest to use. My son has loved all of the recipes that we have tried. I really like that the recipes don't call for any bizarre (and usually expensive) ingredients and they give the recipe the way it needs to be prepared. I have bought too many allergy cookbooks that call for all the popular allergens and expect you to find the correct substitution -- if i wanted to do that i would have just used my good ole Betty Crocker.

I have made quite a few recipes so far and this book is a life saver.
