Editorial Review:

Product DescriptionMillions 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 have from the wheat, or the peanuts. Imagine the feeling a young child must have as they stand there watching their friends munch on cookies just out of Mom’s oven, while they have to make do with yet another carrot stick….

Leslie Hammond knows that left-out feeling all too well. As a child she suffered from severe food allergies and would watch year after year as, when the birthday song had ended and she’d blown out the candles, her fancy party cake was whisked away and served to her friends, while she ate a dry rice cake. Now the mother of allergic children herself, Leslie vowed to spare her own children that trauma. She had developed over 100 recipes that will appeal to a kid’s tastes. Unlike other food-allergy cookbooks already on the market, her recipes hardly ever call for the kinds of ingredients that would gross out any kid -- like tofu.

The book’s recipes take into account all of the most common food sensitivities like wheat and gluten, peanuts, or dairy. Each recipe can be modified to fit the dietary needs to the child.

It’s divided into three sections -- snacks, main dishes, and treats. Leslie and co-author Lynne Rominger also provide information about how to find what you need in a regular grocery store, instead of requiring a separate trip to the natural foods store. She writes from the perspective of an ordinary working mom, and doesn’t design eating regimes that would take all day in the kitchen to satisfy.

With the recipes in this book, even the most sensitive child will get a cookie too.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Misleading Title
While this book would be very helpful to a family suffering from Celiac Disease, there are very little recipes for a truly allergic child. I was expecting a cookbook full of pages with kid-friendly meal ideas that were free of all allergens listed on the cover. Many, many of these recipes call for more than one of the allergens listed on the cover as a key ingredient. I was very dissapointed with it.
I have found "Balancing the Bowl" and "The Whole Foods Allergy Free Cookbook" to be very helpful when trying new meals for my family, that includes an increasingly picky two-year-old happening to be allergic to milk (dairy), eggs, peanuts, wheat, rye and soy.
Don't waste your money on this book unless you are Celiac, and then it would be good for you.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent cookbook for multiple food allergies
My 14 month old baby is allergic to dairy, eggs, wheat, peanuts, treenuts, peas, chicken and many more. I need cookbook to cook for him and myself. (on elimination diet) This is the book I use most of the time to cook for the whole family. I have seen many bad reviews on this book in which, I quite disagree. The recipe may list eggs or nuts as ingredients, but there is suggestion for substitution at the bottom. For example, egg replacer is very common substitution for eggs, not only for this cookbook. Some recipes in this book suggest omiting egg, and it works fine. I've tried many recipes in the book, with substitution at the bottom of recipes, and they all work. What I really like about this book is, the recipes are quite simple. There are not as many ingredients as other wheat-free food allergies cookbook. Less ingredients have advantage in that there is less chance I'll run into my baby's allergens. They are also much simpler to prepare in less time. With food allergic baby there isn't much time to do complicated cooking. The baking recipes also don't use xanthan gum, which my baby is sensitive to. Overall, I love this cookbook!! I would highly recommend it to any friends with multiple food allergies.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Wish I had bought a different book
Really disappointed with this cookbook, and I don't even know if I will use it. Really wish I had bought a different one, there are just so many to choose from. The thing about this one is, these recipes are not dairy free and egg free, etc., like it claims, but almost all of them have this stuff in them but with suggested substitutions to the side on some of them. And then on some the author says you can't substitute eggs in this one...well then why is it even in there?? It is deceptive and I wouldn't buy it.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Misleading title; not GF/CF
This book claims to have more than 150 recipes that are wheat-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, egg-free, low in sugar. NOT! The recipes are not free of all of these allergens. Some are free of gluten, some are free of nuts, etc. Most of the recipes have egg & many have dairy. This is NOT a book for kids on a gluten-free/casein-free (GF/CF) diet. Good thing we just borrowed a copy from the library to preview it & didn't actually buy a copy.
