The Ultimate Food Allergy Cookbook and Survival Guide: How to Cook with Ease for Food Allergies and Recover Good Health Review

For people with many severe allergies to foods, this is the most comprehensive, best-organized cookbook I have found. It is clearly written, well-researched and informative without resorting to hype, and the recipes clearly have been kitchen-tested. The drawbacks of some recipes are noted (e.g., some alternative grain recipes are more crumbly or dense than recipes using wheat flour). Sources for unusual foods are listed; and the internet provides a great marketpalce for finding the rest. I found it easy to adapt the basic rotation diet to fit the foods I can tolerate best and purchase locally and online.

The author has done us a great favor by turning her many trials with allergies into a treasure-trove for the rest of us in the same boat. She not only groups foods by phylogenetic families to alert to possible cross-reactivity, but also mentions the newer, emerging findings on pollen-food interactions due to non-genetic similarity of protein forms. Best of all, instead of leaving the reader feeling hopeless in the face of so many potential cross-reactions, she outlines a workable way to cope.
