Product Description
Product Description
The number of children who are sensitive or allergic to certain types of food is on the rise. Imagine how a young child must feel watching their friends eat birthday cake or munch on cookies while they have to do with yet another carrot stick or dry rice cake for fear of the reaction they might have from the wheat or peanuts. Leslie Hammond, who suffered from severe food allergies as a child herself, knows this feeling all too well. Now the mother of allergic children herself, Leslie has developed over 100 recipes that will appeal to children. The book is divided into three sections - snacks, main dishes, treats - and its recipes take all of the most common food sensitivities like wheat, gluten, peanuts and dairy products into account. You can modify each recipe to fit the dietary needs of your child and you are also provided with information about how to find ingredients in your local supermarket. Leslie writes from the perspective of an ordinary working mum and doesn't design eating regimes that would take all day to prepare. With the recipes in this book, even the most sensitive child will get a cookie.

Format:Paperback
These recipes are mainly just normal recipes that specify a replacement for allergenic ingredient, such as "use egg-replacer" or tell you leave it the allergenic ingredient out eg "omit cheese" (which in the case of pizza, leaves you with an unappetizing meal!)
Very few of the recipes are wheat, dairy and egg free together, they often include one or the other which is useless to me.

This book should not be available to UK customers as it is not a really cookbook. Intead of using egg it says to use "egg substitute" and uses an awful lot of American brand names which are not available in the UK. Totally useless to any mum of an allergy sufferer child in the UK.

I didn't keep this book. It sounded great but was too American for me and used American products not easily available in the UK. I was looking for gluten-free and sugar free recipes but found most recipes used sugar substitutes rather than fruit etc. Some good ideas but not up my street.

I think this is honestly the worst book on allergies I have ever bought.
You could buy any ordinary cook book and it would be as good. Read more
