 Money Would Be Better Spent on a Good All-Purpose Cookbook June 15, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Being the parent of a food allergic child, I truly appreciate what Ms. Webster was trying to do in preparing this cookbook. However, I have not used this cookbook once in the past 7 months that I have owned it. Why not? Because I either did not need a recipe to make the food (such as Garlic Butter, Strawberry Topping for Waffles, Pancakes & Sorbets, Tempting Tacos, etc.) or could find a similar recipe in any all-purpose/non-allergy cookbook (Fresh Salsa, Guacamole, Oven Fries, Apple Pie, etc.).
If a food allergic person/parent did not know anything about cooking or own any cookbooks, perhaps this cookbook would be satisfactory. Even then, I believe that money would be better spent on a good all-purpose cookbook making obvious substitutions (safe margarine for margarine/butter, alternative milk for cow's milk, etc.) If truly looking for an allergy cookbook for some of the more challenging allergy baking, I would reccommend The Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook by Cybele Pascal or What's to Eat? by Linda Cross.
 My son loves these recipes! April 27, 2006
Just wanted to give a positive review for this book. Honestly the book isn't that pretty inside (black and white photos). The cover of the book looks wonderful however and shows some of the great recipes the book has to offer.
My son is very picky in what he eats. Being picky combined with food allergies does not mix well because he can only eat certain foods. Well this book does an amazing job at making snacks and meals that my son loves.
Just wanted to give thanks to the author. Its hard for a parent to cope with these allergies in their child. I am thankful that books like this are out there. It is informative and helps ensure my child is not eating something he shouldn't.
I was furious when I found out what they were using in the McDonalds Fries, My son ate those on multiple occasions because I thought they were safe. Who could have known??? Im sure your son is very happy with all the food he gets to test :-)
 Disappointing. Nothing new here if you already know how to cook. April 18, 2006

What a waste of money! If you already know how to cook...you have most likely already discovered these recipes on your own. Come on! How to make garlic butter, BLT's, and strawberry topping for pancakes? Making a chocolate shake by blending together chocolate syrup, milk subsitute and soy ice cream sandwiches? I think not. This cookbook should be revised with picture directions and marketed as a children's allergy-free cookbook. I would have done better searching for allergy-free recipes with a good internet search engine. Try the recipe collections from Theresa Kingma (www.tkkingma@netzero.net) or What's to Eat by Linda Marienhoff Coss for more useful material to feed your family. Don't waste your money on this one.
Parents- Relax! April 2, 2006
Leave it to a devoted mother of a child with food allergies to bring a helpful tool like this book to other parents!
Penny does a great job offering tasty, creative meals. "Little Buddy's Shake" is sure to be a favorite among all!
A Wonderful Book of Hope and Help February 16, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
What a wonderful book of hope and help!
It has been tremendous to have a resource available when I've entertained friends with allergies. Recently I was blown away by the gratitude I received from a Mom who brought her son (who has several allergies) to my daughters birthday party. The entire menu was dairy, nut and egg free and on top of that was "yummy" and fun for everyone! The Mom was able to relax and enjoy herself. I feel like I was able to encourage someone, but I couldn't have done it without "Allergy Free For All Ages"
