Summary: Superb - excellent for anyone with multiple allergies
Review: The recipes in this book avoid all common allergens. It is practical, common sense cooking. The ingredients are easily available and appetizing. Since all of the recipes are allergy sensitive, I am not stuck with a book than I can only use part of. I think this is one of my best purchases yet, and I am delighted with it!

Summary: Excellent - Beyond Expectations
Review: This book is excellent for both my wife who has to have a gluten free diet and myself as a diabetic. The flavors of the foods are so good, I wonder why I did not start enjoying this style of cooking many years ago. We would not have the problems we have today if we had started earlier. The recipies are very flexible. We add blueberries to the pancakes and the taste is exceptional.

Summary: A great cookbook, even if you don't have dietary restriction
Review: This book really makes it easy to eat ALMOST anything you can imagine, even if you have to avoid wheat, gluten, eggs, and dairy, like I do. The cornbread recipe is as good as our family recipe, and everything I've tried works. My family doesn't know they're on my diet!

Summary: We love it!
Review: We recently took our four year old son off of gluten and dairy. I initially got Roben Ryberg's book, "The Gluten Free Kitchen." It was disappointing. Couldn't get the ingredients to blend properly and the bread never came out. A friend of mine knew someone who was using, "Special Diet Solutions." After reading the reviews on Amazon I ordered it. It has become my baking bible! With four children, it was important to me to make yummy tasting treats that would help the entire family support our son on his new diet. We don't feel deprived one bit! The Sandwich Bread is a favorite. It tastes very good and is very easy to make. The Brownies and Chocolate Chip cookies are delicious. The kids love the waffles. I recently made the Corn Bread to go with chili and I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the gluten free recipe and the old one I used containing wheat flour. It is slightly on the sweet side, but I adjusted the sugar the next time I made it and it was perfect. Living overseas in the UK, I have had some difficulty obtaining some ingredients. I've been able to substitute soy margarine for the Spectrum Brand margarine/shortening with success. Family members from the States are happy to mail dry milk powder and gluten free chocolate. The author provides alternatives to sweetners, eggs, dairy, and yeast which could be valuable for some, but if you're allergic to corn, corn starch is contained in some, but not all recipes. I've tried about three gluten free cookbooks and overall, this one is the one I use the most.
