Look—I'm of the opinion that if you publish a cookbook that says "Gluten-free" on the cover, then it shouldn't have gluten in it. That just seems like common sense. Call it "wheat-free" if that's what you're doing, but don't pretend to be gluten-free or you're going to piss some people off. Like me, for example.

So some of these recipes have ingredients that include gluten—like barley and rye—and some recipes use oats, which still get the "contains gluten" icon even though oats do not technically contain gluten. It also has an icon for "contains salt," but no icon for "contains soy," which seems like a more pressing problem to me. You can always just leave out the salt.

The recipes use rice, corn, and gram (chickpea) flour, dairy-free margarine, and fruit sugar, plus all the soy milk, soy sour cream, and soy yogurt you could want. Unfortunately, I don't want any.

Measurements are in U.S. volume. There's no storage advice. Doesn't have very many pictures. And I'm still mad about the gluten thing.

I checked out this book from the library specifically for the dairy-free recipes and wheat free recipes but still has a lot of other allergy high foods like almonds and soy. But I know you can't catch them all.

A lot of tempting recipes to try.

I'm looking into the art of making tasty allergy-free food... This book has all the basic recipes (cornbread, pie crust, vegetable broth etc) with modifications for allergies, and a broad assortment of yummy-looking gourmet recipes. Coconut crepes and sushi coming soon!

Far too ambitious a cook-book for me. She is also very specific about what to use (unrefined fructose instead of sugar, etc.).

This cookbook has been very helpful while Chris and I are eating a restricted diet to determine his (and possibly my) food sensitivities.

If you are allergic to dairy and gluten this book contains really good recipes with gluten and cow milk substitutes.
