Customer Reviews

A brilliant godsend
This is exactly what you need when you've been told your child has a food allergy. It's practical, written from the viewpoint of mothers who've been through it all and have loads of tips to pass on (just the kind of things you normally learn through trial and error, except that with this book you don't have to do that). It's also a comforting book, in that you don't feel so isolated when you've read it. You feel: I can do this! Brilliant.

Just what you need
I was very impressed with this book indeed. It tells you all you need to know clearly and consisely.

Excellent!
