Customer Reviews

Cooking for allergies without compromise!
This book is an invaluable resource for those with food allergies. The layout of the recipes gives you guidance to adapt each one to a range or combination of allergies and there are tips on how to get good results with the variations in ingredients. There is also a wealth of useful advice covering a range of areas such as eating away from home and alternative sources of nutrients and vitamins.

The recipes are a wonderful mix of contemporary style dishes and traditional staples and baking. For those like myself with a wheat allergy, the recipes for scones and pastry and other off-limits foods will be the first things tested from the book and to taste foods which do not require the normal compromises on flavour and texture is absolutely wonderful.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough!

Stress free cooking
At last, after all my tears and frustrations trying to make a gluten, dairy and nut-free bread, I have found a recipe that not only works but tastes delicious. The gluten-free white bread is a big hit with our four year old daughter and has made a huge difference to our lives as she can now have toast, sandwiches and rolls.

I feel like a proper mummy baking delicious cakes for the children which we can now all enjoy. I have also had great fun adapting various family recipes using Lucinda's techniques. Her book is a must for all people coping with the challenges of living with food allergies.

The Food Allergy Angel has arrived at last
Lucinda Bruce-Gardyne is a professional chef (and co-author of the award winning Leith's Techniques Bible) and the mother of 3 children (2 of whom have food allergies) - so she is more than qualified to help the thousands of people who suffer from food allergy problems.

'How to Cook for Food Allergies' has been well researched and provides an invaluable guide to the common danger foods, giving ideas for different ingredients that can used as substitutes. It also has very some useful tips on adapting menus and provides some really delicious and easy recipies for all the family to enjoy.

The book is clear and concise and is by far the best of it's kind. If you or a member of your family suffers from a food allergy, then this is the MOST ESSENTIAL book for your kitchen.
