Review
This is my first review but I had to write one because this book is fantastic! I have made five recipes in the past five days and my 5 year old son (with severe ulcerative colitis) has loved every single one (the rest of the family has loved the food too)! I own every SCD cookbook and this one seems to have the most recipes that are winners. So far, we have made: a chinese chicken dish (actually tastes like chinese chicken but without soy sauce- amazing); vietnamese pork (same); almond puff (tastes like cake!); chili-lime crackers (tastes like mild cheez-its!); and shortbread (buttery and tasty). We are going to keep trying recipes but love this cookbook and wanted to post this review while ordering another copy for my son's grandmom. Well worth adding to your library. I have a new favorite cookbook! It's "Recipes for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet" by Raman Prasad. Although the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) includes lots of great food choices, it doesn't allow for dining at my favorite Asian and Indian restaurants. Raman's culturally diverse recipes are bursting with the flavors of the ethnic cuisines I've been missing. One of my favorites so far is Kung Pao Chicken, which is wonderfully flavored with Raman's SCD Asian Sauce (hurray for a yummy soy sauce substitute!). And in my opinion the Beef Vindaloo rivals some of the best Indian restaurants in our town. I love, love, love this cookbook's mouthwatering photography; the compelling foreword and introduction to the diet; and the personal touch of Raman's stories about food, family, and friends. I highly recommend this great cookbook for anyone who wants to add some pizzaz to their SCD fare. --Amy McKenna
Raman has put together a collection of simple but superb SCD recipes. I really appreciate the thought that has gone into crafting each recipe and love the international flavor of the recipes. Highly recommend the Sage Chicken with Portobellos, Ruma's Layered Pot Roast (divine!) and the Wild Salmon Over Vegetables. I am not on the SCD diet - but use his cookbook as a way of eating delicious, nutritious and healthy food. Thanks Raman - and I look forward to your next book! --Sophie Moochala
I've been SCD for over three months and all the while my husband and daughter would NEED extra *illegal* sides to get them through meal times. For two weeks, every recipe we've made has come from this recipe book and no one is asking for an *illegal* side or substitute. I'm used to purchasing a cook book and only have one or two worthwhile recipes that make it into our weekly meal plan. Now, the book is our weekly meal plan! (Per my husband's request.) The Lemon chicken, Thai chicken, Vietnamese pork, Moroccan steak, spinach puffs, focaccia, lettuce wraps, the pizza and crust, the crackers, and dips all turned out beautifully. We make dinner every night and haven't had a repeat or failed meal yet! In addition, my (overweight and wonderful) husband has been losing weight and I've finally started gaining weight at 25 weeks pregnant. All due to him eating healthier, and the food being so tasty I want to eat more of it. --Canary Jen

Recipes for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet™ offers a diverse and delicious collection of 150 SCD-friendly recipes, that includes over 80 dairy-free recipes. The easy-to-make and culturally diverse recipes featured in the book include breakfast dishes, appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. Included in the list of delicious recipes are: Hazelnut-Vanilla Pancakes Olive Sandwich Bread Chicken Satay Roasted Bass with Parsley Butter Thin Crust Pizza Gretel's Gingerbread Cookies and Mango Ice Cream.

I was sceptical when they said their almond bread tasted like whole wheat (or rye when caraway is added) and was sliceable, but it's true! I've tried about 15 recipes so far, and each one has been delicious. The butternut squash muffins are unbelievably good - they taste a bit like pumpkin pie.
In the pizza recipe they mention oiling the pan under the "dough" - this should be printed in bold. With the modest amount of oil I generally use the dough stuck to the pan, which was supposed to be non-stick, so oil well.

There are lots of some easy, uncomplicated menus, lots of ideas of how to put ingredients together and enjoy life without pain (due to eating forbidden food) or feeling totally restricted. I particularlly loved the Transylvanian Hazelnut Cookies, and the Ethiopian Chicken left me full and so happy. I want to recommend this book it is a great help.

This book has some really excellent ideas for the SCD Diet. Suffering from Crohn's myself, I have already found it a great help. Especially love the alternative shortbread. And of course the pancakes. Yum.

Average cookbook, can be helpful
I am on the SCD diet and enjoy cooking. This book has some good recipes, though it is uneven. It is not written by a cook or chef and you can tell. Read more
