Amazon Top Customer Reviews1.0 out of 5 starsThe worst allergy cookbook everBy Amazon Customer on June 4, 2012I have to say the intro to the book was well written.Everything after that… Well, the title of the book says allergy free cooking, can you explain to me then why the majority of the recipies include the top 8 allergens?When people are diagnosed with an allergy, the first thing they will do is buy books to help. Let me tell you save your money. Google whatever recipies you need because this book is not worth it. After reading the intro I paged thru the breakfast section, more than half have egg in them. The same goes with the other allergens. So if you have more than one allergy good luck recreating some of these recipies.Just before the recipies the author states that you can just substitute ingredients that you may be allergic to with non allergic ingredients. I can tell you from over 10 years experence this rarely works. Unless there is a tested recipie that they provide you will not only be wasting money on this book, you will be wasting time and money on preperation on a recipie that most likley wont turn out You have enough on your plate, pun intented, dealing with food allergies, don’t waste your energy. Stick with food blogs written by people who actually make the recipies. I promise they will taste better, you will save money and reduce your stress.Ps.Good luck with your food allergy!!5.0 out of 5 starsGood resource for the allergy proneBy A customer TOP 500 REVIEWER on May 29, 2012I was pleased to find such a clear, concise book that helps explain the differences between allergies and food intolerance. The author Linda Larsen, who has a BS in Food Science and Nutrition, gives a detailed and informative explanation of how the two differ. For example: While I have never been tested for milk allergy, after reading her explanation I suspect I have a true milk allergy and not lactose intolerance based on my response to dairy products. This has been a lifelong condition which has worsened with time. I am now down to eating soy milk and try to stay away from most dairy products.I also have problems with most nuts, fruits and sometimes eggs. Life can get interesting when it comes to eating.Thanks to Larsen’s book: The Everything Food Allergy Cookbook I now have some new recipes to try that will hopefully help some of my food and/or food intolerance issues.Inside this book you will find icons that will help make selecting recipes easier when it comes to choosing the right recipe for the right health condition. Icons are also provided showing whether the recipe is dairy free, wheat free, egg free, soy free, fish free or nut free.Some of the recipes you will find in this cookbook include:Egg Substitute for BakingNot Peanut ButterGluten-Free Brownie MixEggless French ToastCherry Coffee CakeGluten-Free BiscuitsHoney RollsCreamy Fruit SaladTurkey Fruit SaladDairy-Free Olive Cheese BallYogurt Cheese BallsRefried Bean DipChicken Asparagus PastaGrilled Ranch ChickenAsian SteaksPesto Beef Stir-FrySkillet Chops and VeggiesFresh Tomato RotiniGarlic Lover’s PizzaChocolate Chip CookiesTruffle BrowniesApple Snack CakeGraham CrackersRecommend.5.0 out of 5 starsEasy to find recipesBy Rachel M. Hansen on December 4, 2008My favorite part of this book is that at the top of each recipe there are icons that tell you what it is free of. My second favorite part is that there are recipes for substitutes…like egg substitutes. Great book!5.0 out of 5 starsGive to your favorite allergy suffererBy Lady Clarabelle on February 12, 2016I sent this to my favorite seven-year-old whose mother was recently told by her doctor to avoid a whole list of foods. Her mother sent me a picture with her holding the book and a big grin on her face. She loves to read the recipes and make the snacks because she can actually eat them.5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful resource for my familyBy Rebecca Major on August 9, 2015My son has autism, eosinophilic esophagitis, several intestinal issues, and severe food allergies. This made my life so much easier! He can finally have more variety and my whole family can eat the same things again.Awesome recipes!!2.0 out of 5 starsWay too complicated! Not kids foodBy Megan on January 11, 2013This would be a better book for adult allergies and for an adult who is a good cook. There are way too many ingredients in each recipe and the types of ingredients that it asks for are impossible to find. It just sits on my shelf now. Occasionally I pull it down and open it up to to remember that the recipe calls for 4 different types of flour @[email protected] out of 5 starsGreat RecipesBy Brittnee Laverty on April 7, 2013The Everything Food Allergy Cookbook is great for those that suffer with various types of food allergies. I found some recipes in this book that I didn’t even think of creating. I really enjoy how easy the instructions are to go through.5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Those with Food AllergiesBy Amazon Customer on August 20, 2012I own 2 copies of this book, one in Kindle, the other in paper back. My family has many food allergies, and this book is a God send! It takes out everything that you could possible be allergic to, and substitutes it for allergy free things. Not allergic to cow’s milk? Then use regular milk, and not what they suggest. It breaks the recipes down so that you can use easier to find ingredients, that you aren’t allergic to, but covers every base. My sister, with Celiacs, uses this book all the time, and I use it alot too with my chicken egg and dairy allergy.
