Rating: - An excellent resource for hypoallergenic cooking.
I am a naturopathic physician and I deal with many patients who have food allergies and intolerances. I have found this book to be an excellent resource and recommend it frequently to my patients. I have tried some of the recipes myself and they were good. Definitely a great place to start on the very difficult path of changing to a hypoallergenic diet.

I told him he was going to get all new "special food".After 2 weeks of cooking attempts with these recipes, he's eating only fruits and vegetables. Try again Marjorie.

As wonderful as the recipes are, the reference information is even more valuable; it contains lists of biologic families of foods, (Did you know that mangoes and cashews are in the same family? What ... Read More:
