The Allergy-Free Family Cookbook - Fiona Heggie (epub, mobi)

The only book you need when your child is diagnosed with a food allergy



If you are reading this, then it's probably because your child has been diagnosed with a food allergy. This can be daunting. You immediately start thinking about the negative: the food they can't eat, the favourite meals they won't get to enjoy, the nutrients that will be missing from their diets, and the hassle involved in eating out, checking labels, and adapting recipes. But you are definitely not alone, and this book is here to prove it. The Allergy-Free Cookbook is about positives. Just because your child is allergic to one or several types of food doesn't mean that they can't have delicious meals, a balanced diet, and occasional treats. There is all of this and more in this collection of over 100 recipes that are delicious, healthy, quick, and easy to cook—and they can be enjoyed by your whole family. They just happen to be free of dairy, egg, gluten, soya, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, and shellfish—the eight most common food allergens. Includes metric measures.



Reviews



Food allergies are on the rise, and many home chefs have had to become familiar with tiptoeing through the minefield of irritating and/or dangerous ingredients in order to get a meal on to the table that all can tuck into with comfort, safety and enjoyment. It is that last element that is often challenging to conjure in the allergy-aware kitchen. But now two mothers whose children have significant food allergies have come up with a cookbook that puts the fun back into allergy-free cooking while also delivering a wealth of practical, jargon-free advice on the practical aspects of cooking, shopping and eating out. Parents who are just coming to terms with their child's allergies will find the section on labelling particularly useful. -- Andrew Baker, Daily Telegraph
