Long-Winded Intro; Contradictory in Places

The title and the subtitle of this book make you think it will just be a book of 60 or so recipes for breakfast, snacks, and lunch for kids who need to eat gluten free, but it is not. A large percentage of the book is not recipes. Rather, it is information about celiac disease and gluten intolerance. This may not sound bad, but I found it to be both oddly scientific in places but more casual and non-scientific in others, making for an odd blend of information. The author also went off on tangents, like a relatively long section about other autoimmune diseases. I don't think she stressed enough that for someone with celiac disease, eating gluten actually damages the gastrointestinal tract. She also contradicted herself. Several times throughout the introductory material, she stated that children with celiac disease or gluten intolerance should not eat a lot of processed, gluten-free products, favoring whole foods instead. Yet, in the recipes, she did use gluten-free ingredients fairly often. Not all the time, but the recipes contain a fair number of processed, gluten-free ingredients. I didn’t see the whole food emphasis, either… which would have been wonderful. Because of the book’s peculiarities, I do not feel like I can recommend it. I recommend you find a better book with gluten-free recipes for kids.

I received a free copy of this book, bu that did not affect my review.

Author starts out saying don’t eat oats for the first part of celiacs journey but then offers about 5 oat recipes at the beginning of all the recipes. Author is very repetitive. The photos are black and white and the size of your thumb.
