I'm looking for a good cookbook for a child with food allergies to dairy, eggs, nuts, gluten, and soy. Recommendations?
1 I think I have several. Go to my website (CookbooksPlus.com) and search for allergy, allergies, gluten, celiac (separately...I don't think I have anything with all those words.
2 Check out 8 Degrees of Ingredients by Melisa K. Priem. It's a great cookbook with recipes that are free of the top 8 allergens (dairy, soy, wheat, egg, peanut, tree nut, fish, shellfish).
You can preview some of the recipes on my website at eatingwithfoodallergies.com/allergyfreer... .
I'm lucky to just have to worry about nut allergies, but I have a good friend whose son deals with the allergies you've mentioned, so I know how she struggles looking for recipes. A good resource for food allergy information is the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN). Check out their website for all kinds of allergy support.
Here is a link to a holiday cookbook they sell for $20. You can find a few of the recipes from that cookbook online via this link, if you'd like to try a few out and see if they meet your needs. Here is another link to a cookbook published by FAAN called Cooking Together.
It's focused on parents and children cooking together and costs $15. You also might want to try Balancing the Bowl, a food allergy cookbook: recipes free of wheat, rice, barley, egg, milk, soy, peanut, tree nuts, shellfish and fish. It is pretty well-reviewed on Amazon, and it does avoid all the foods you listed.
However, it goes a bit overboard for your needs...perhaps you'd like recipes with rice, barley, or fish! If you search amazon for food allergy cookbook, you get a variety of choices. None of them seem as tailored to your situation...for example, it might only be a wheat, nut, and egg-free cookbook.
I'd recommend looking at them in person in a bookstore if possible to see if there are useful recipes before you buy it, or only buy a cookbook that includes one of the allergens if you are already proficient at making substitutions for that ingredient. It's not a cookbook, but you also may want to check out the Kids With Food Allergies website. The link I've included takes you to some allergy-friendly recipes that are available for free.
If you choose to become a member ($25/year) among other things, it gives you access to their recipe database. I am not a member, so I can't tell you if it's any good, but I figured at the very least, you might be interested in trying the free recipes! Good luck, and happy cooking!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
