Allergy-Friendly Cookbook (No Eggs - No Dairy - No Gluten - No Nuts) A Review

When the author Alice Sherwood received her 2 year old sons diagnosis of nut and egg allergies she ended up putting together a collection of her own recipes due to her frustration with what was on offer in the market. Some allergy cookbooks try to cater for all allergens in each recipe - this can end up leaving the recipes bland and boring. What Alice has done with her recipes in this book is to provide a basic recipe with one or two of the 'Big Four', eggs, dairy, gluten or nuts omitted and then provide variations for each recipe so you can exclude or add ingredients depending on the particular allergens you need to avoid.

The book has a great introduction which explains why she wrote the cookery book, she loves good food and found that a lot of people she knew were having trouble finding useful recipes that would enable whole families to eat the same tasty meals together when one or more were allergic or intolerant to different foods. She then goes on to explain the differences between food allergies and food intolerance, with a good description of symptoms and a quick reference chart for anaphylaxis. The book then has a section for each of dairy, egg, nuts and gluten explaining about each and how to compensate in your diet for the missing nutrients. Alice then continues with chapters about, staying positive, allergy etiquette, helping your allergic child, eating out, special occasions, travelling, worldwide cuisine, shopping, what not to eat and your pantry.

Just before you get into the recipes - there is a handy quick reference chart about how to substitute ingredients with suggested alternatives and associated notes and tips. There are over 100 recipes divided into: breakfasts, side dishes, starters & light meals, fish, meat and poultry, pasta, noodles & rice, desserts, breads and baking, sauces, dressings and accompaniments.

My personal favourite is her recipe for carrot cake - the best I have found! This recipe book has been one of my best buys as our son was initially diagnosed with egg and peanut allergies, but has since been found to also be gluten and dairy intolerant - thus we have to avoid all of the major four allergens! Our second son is also allergic to eggs and I am gluten and dairy intolerant. Our whole family has benefited from eating a diet that is free from gluten, dairy, eggs and peanuts and this book is an essential for our kitchen bookshelf.

Review of The Gluten Free Almond Flour Cookbook

If you have celiac (or cook for people who have it) I highly recommend that you try The Gluten Free Almond Flour Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam. My family and guests have raved over every recipe that I've made from this book. Best of all, almond flour simplifies gluten-free baking by eliminating the need to use a costly mix of unusual flours.

The book includes chapters on the following topics:

Using Almond Flour

Breakfast

Breads and Crackers

Entrees

Pies, Pastries, and Crusts

Cakes and Cupcakes

Cookies and Bars

Toppings, Syrups, and Sauces

I had never used almond flour before I bought this cookbook and it was a delightful surprise. It's highly nutritious and has a wonderful taste and texture. I had given up on gluten-free baking because I didn't want to have to find and keep 10 different kinds of obscure flours on hand and because I wasn't happy with the results. Almond flour replaces the complex mixtures and makes gluten-free baking a breeze.

All of the recipes are simple, short and easy to make. They call for ingredients you're likely to have on hand which makes it easy to try a new recipe on the spur of the moment. The first recipe I tried was the herb crackers. I have never seen my family devour a plate of crackers so quickly and with such relish. I now use this cookbook more than any other.

I'm the only person in my family who has celiac and I greatly appreciate having a cookbook full of recipes that we all like. The recipes are also free of dairy and soy which makes them suitable for people allergic to those foods. But you don't have to have a food allergy to love this cookbook! Elana Amsterdam has mastered the art of creating healthy, easy, delicious dishes that everyone can enjoy.

I highly recommend The Gluten Free Almond Flour cookbook and I'd also like to thank the author for helping to make our lives healthier and easier!
