Review
I am still a bit of a novice when it comes to cooking GFCF, we have only been following this diet for a few months now, but this book makes it easy to create meals and snacks that my children will eat. The Wonderful Waffles recipe is better that anything you will find in the freezer section of your local grocery store-GFCF or otherwise-and there are lots of tips & tricks to get more nutrients into your kids. Not only are the recipes good, the info presented on the diet is done in an easy-to-read format. It is all explained in great detail, how it works and why it works. Also, at the top of each recipe, there is a key that shows which allergens are present, a real time-saver for those of us dealing with multiple food sensitivities-you know at a glance. Overall, I am happy with my purchase, I would recommend it to others, especially if you are just starting out on the GFCF diet & need some guidance. --GFCG Kids
If there is any person in your household with autism, then it's time to make this book one of your best friends. Be sure to read Bette Hagman's stellar collection of gluten/casein free cookbooks as well as she is the top contender when it comes to providing information about keeping a GF/CF kitchen. This is an excellent book that provides good information on preparing GFCF recipes and it is clearly written and very easy to follow. You get a lot of tips on how to provide nutrious snacks and meals. Good explanations about food and the recipes and the rationale for keeping a GFCF regimen are also explained. Readers get clear explanations of allergens and how to ward them off. You also get foods you will enjoy. Again, be sure to make this book one of your best friends and it can rightfully take its place among other highly revered and happily used books about enjoying a GFCF lifestyle. Kudos to this author! --beetlebangs1964
This is a wonderful book that is easy to read, easy to understand and non-intimidating. I'm fairly new to the GFCF diet, but this book has truly made things go a lot smoother. The ideas to get vegetables, protein, etc. into your picky eater are great. I thought I had tried it all, but the authors' tips are working. We've tried about 6 of the recipes so far and they ALL have been wonderful. I highly recommend this book to those just starting the diet, or those who want some realistic tips and yummy recipes. --5blessings
Product Description
As rates of autism and other pervasive developmental disorders rise, more and more parents are searching for solutions. There has been much interest in special diets for these children, and many parents have found success by eliminating gluten and casein (proteins found in grains and dairy products) from their children's diets. Until now, however, there has not been a cookbook that addresses these dietary needs. This book offers child-friendly recipes that contain no gluten or casein, along with information on why the diet works. All the specialty ingredients are explained and sources provided.
