Millions of children across the country have food sensitivities or allergies, and the number is on the rise. And most of these children don't get to eat cookies, for fear of the reaction they might... This description may be from another edition of this product.
On the front it says the recipes exclude all these things and then uses the things and advises on alternatives such as ener-g egg replacer. That's not writing a cookbook for kids with food allergies. It's just a cookbook. Also, you can't really use egg replacer for more than 2 eggs at a time, and many of the recipes used more than 2.
Love, Love, Love this Cookbook!

Our daughter is allergic to wheat, eggs, and nuts. I have found this cookbook to be great! I only want to cook one dinner for my daugher, husband, and I instead of cooking all different meals for each individual. This cookbook helped me do that, and we think the recipes are delicious. I love how the author substitutes ideas for certain allergies, too. I would recommend this book to anyone, even if they don't have an allergy. It's healthy cooking!
My Family Loves this Book

This book came at a time when I knew nothing about allergies and food elimination diets. I loved the advice on substitution, shopping and allergies in general. This book guided me through three trials of food elimination, wheat, dairy and eggs. Eventually, we found out that it was wheat. Since then, we have been makeing many of the easy and kid friendly recipes. I like how I can use my food processor for many of the recipes. The family thinks I am a good cook. However, it was a real challenge trying to figure out what to make to eat. This book made it a lot easier. I love this book. Do yourself a favor and buy this book.
Fun helpful book with dishes my kids actually ate

I have a ton of food allergy cookbooks,I usually find two or three recipes that I can actually use in them. This book was so fun to read, easy to make the recipes, and had such a variety of foods to choose from. I love the helpful hint section in the back. I never knew playdough had gluten in it! I have made all the muffins for my family and everyone loved them. I gave this book to my day care provider, she enjoyed reading it and the great kid recipes too! Thank you. I thought the format of the book was easy to follow.
More than a cookbook, a wealth of information

This is an incredible cookbook, even for adults with a special needs diet (wheat-free, egg-free, etc). The recipes are easy and concise and everything has turned out better than expected. The Buttermilk Rice Pancakes and the Banana Nut Muffins were incredible. The authors take this one step further than a cookbook, they list a wealth of information. Thanks so much to the authors. God Bless You Both!!!
