The Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook: Two Hundred Gourmet & Homestyle Recipes for the Food Allergic Family Review

I was diagnosed with multiple food allergies a few months ago, and I couldn't begin to imagine what in the world I could possibly eat besides fruits and vegetables. I did a little research on the different allergy cookbooks out there, and as this one had the highest reviews, I purchased it. That was probably the best decision I made regarding my new diet. I have tried many of the recipes, and all of them have been fabulous! Even my boyfriend, who is definitely a "normal" food person, tried all of the dishes, and in his words - "Good, not quite like what I'm used to, but I'll definitely eat it again."

Since this cookbook eliminates all of the common food allergens, it can be used for anyone allergic to any combination of these foods. It also has suggestions for substituting back in "normal" ingredients, so you can pick and choose which foods to eliminate depending on your specific needs.

Another great thing about this book - it doesn't use any particularly strange ingredients. I was able to find just about everything at my local Co-op (and I live in a small town). A lot of the other allergy cookbooks use really off-the-wall ingredients that nobody's ever heard of, but all of the ingredients in this cookbook were readily available to me.

One other great thing - the author prefaces each recipe with background about it, or what to pair with it for a meal, or other useful information.

All in all, this book has allowed me to continue eating the foods I'm used to - even if they have different ingredients. My favorite recipe so far - the Classic Chocolate Layer cake. It tastes almost exactly like "normal" chocolate cake! The banana cupcakes are also great; spaghetti with turkey meatballs is wonderful; you can't even taste the difference in the pancakes recipe; the biscuits are amazing; oatmeal raisin cookies are delectable; the chicken marsala is spectacular. This book is the one to get for multiple food allergies!!
