Summary: Very disappointed with quality & quantity
Review: I expected more from two people who claimed they went to a culinary school and one of them had colitis. The recipes seemed like they just substituted rice or soy milk for regular milk.
I will try a few of the recipes but most were so basic that I was sad to have spent the money on the 'little' book.

Summary: Very helpful book
Review: I gave this book to my brother for Christmas -- he has colitis and has been on a very limited diet. Since he loves to eat good food, this cookbook has given him a lot of ways to make his restricted diet more palatable. We highly recommend it!

Summary: A little disappointing
Review: I was a bit disappointed with the presentation of this book. I liked the spiral-bound design, but the pages are printed on paper similar to xerox stock. They could've laminated the pages or at least used card stock. I am afraid that the book will be ruined after a few uses. The recipes are ok, however, I would've liked to see more dairy-free recipes. Many of the recipes use soy milk or soy cheese as a substitute which you could do with any recipe. I didn't need a special book to tell me that.

Summary: disappointing
Review: it's really small and of poor quality. The recipes are very basic. How many times do they have to write how to make BREAD? (with one ingredient different in the recipes?)Well you could use this if you have never cooked , it has some basic recipes, but for colitis...gna.

Summary: Not very impressive...
Review: This book (or group of index cards) is a plentiful list of recipes, but nothing to be excited about. It looks as though some typed-up a bunch of index cards and stood at the corner copier for ten minutes.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: This book was not worth the money. The pages looked and felt like they were xeroxed, very thin and flimsy. Most of the recipes had ingredients that most with Crohn's or Colitis could never eat! There were a lot of meals that included dairy and too many spices. It seemed to me that these people had limited knowledge of IBD's before they put together this cookbook. If you want IBD friendly recipes, use normal recipes and substitute the necessary ingredients, don't buy this book!

Summary: Not very impressive
Review: This is a tiny little book, I was not at all impressed with the list of recipes. I think you can find IBD-compatible recipes in most magazines and you can substitute dairy products for non-dairy products. This book is really not worth the price I paid for it.
