Rating: Summary: Less than 6 allergies? Look at other books first... Review: After discovering my 4 year old was allergic to a number of common foods, I ordered many cookbooks and read them all. This was, by far, the most helpful, informative, and tasty! A "must-have" for anyone with food allergies!
Rating: Summary: Most Helpful Cookbook for People with Allergies! Review: After discovering my 4 year old was allergic to a number of common foods, I ordered many cookbooks and read them all. This was, by far, the most helpful, informative, and tasty! A "must-have" for anyone with food allergies!
Rating: Summary: Too many ingredients are not truly allergen free! Review: Dumke's book (and others written by her) are not written for those with real wheat and milk protein allergies. Spelt and goat's milk are not allergen free! These products can be very dangerous for those with severe wheat and dairy allergies. Spelt is simply an ancient form of wheat! Goat's milk is a milk protein! I could understand if the book was for wheat and lactose intolerances, but for those with true allergies, these recipes could be deadly!
Rating: Summary: Helpful for wheat allergies Review: Good information on how different grains behave when substituting for wheat. Disappointing for Italian recipes. I am allergic to cow's milk, but tolerate buffalo milk mozzarella, which is what it is made of in Italy (Mozzarella di Bufula). The book makes no mention of this important substitution. Also, Pecorino Romano, like imported Feta, is made from sheeps milk, not cow's milk, as stated in the book. Sheeps milk yogurt was not mentioned either. Unfortunate since many people are turned off by the strong taste of goat milk products. Also, some people will tolerate foods that are cooked as some proteins are denatured or broken down by cooking. The book makes no mention of that. Also, some people might not tolerate tomatoes, but can tolerate a mock tomato sauce by pureeing red roasted peppers with or without artichokes as a sauce base. Most of the tomato sauce recipes contained tomatoes. Still the book is very thorough on grain substitutions.

Rating: Summary: Good for Baking Review: I am allergic/sensitive to a huge list of things and I found this book great! I have only really used the baking recipies, but I found the cookies, muffins, biscuits, etc. great. You can't really expect them to be just like the food you used to be able to eat, but they are so much better than stuff from other allergy-free cookbooks. I haven't tried any of the meal recipies b/c they're not very exciting. If you want something special there, try to find The Allergy-Free Cookbook edited by Maggie Pannell, which I didn't see here on Amazon. I wasn't looking for perfection, but the variety in Allergy Cooking with Ease was great, and now I have a chocolate chip cookie recipie without gluten, corn, sugar, dairy, or eggs. I reccommed it.

Rating: Summary: Less than 6 allergies? Look at other books first... Review: I purchased this book along with at least 3 other books catered to allergies and this was by far the LEAST helpful and worst tasting of the 4. Although it uses flours like arrowroot and quinoa, it lacks enough ingredients to give the foods flavor. Most recipes had less than 4-5 ingredients in them which means you basically taste the bland flour. My kids would rarely eat more than a few bites and they actually like many wheat-dairy-egg-yeast free foods. Shop around before you spend money on this. The only beneficial thing is the explanation of some of the ingredients, where they came from and what family they are in which you can probably find elsewhere.
Rating: Summary: Dont waste your money Review: My 16 month old son is allergic to Milk, Soy & Corn and this book was by far the worst I bought. I bought 8 books hoping to find some info and recipies I couldn't find on the internet but the recipies were very exotic and not appropriate for a toddler and were not truely allergin free. I did better at the Food Allergy Network site and should have only bought their cook book.
