[.ca] What's to Eat?: The Milk-Free, Egg-Free, Nut-Free Food ... (ISBN 0970278500)

Simply the BEST allergy cookbook:
My son will be 6 years old this summer. His severe milk/egg/nut allergies started when he was 4 mos old. Over the time I bought all of the available allergy cookbooks, and cooked some pretty strange things. I was desperate to make my son a birthday cake, and for years I had to excuse myself and give him either Jello (he hates) or try to make cakes from mixes and cakes made from other cookbooks. The results were always bad, and the look in my son's eyes made me cry. And then one day I found this book. I ordered it, but was not too excited, I did not expect too much. And then for his birthday I decided to make "Orange Chocolate Marble Layer Cake". The cake came out great, and when I was walking into the room full of guests with this beautiful cake with candles, my son was jumping high in the air and screaming: "Look this is my cake! This is MY birthday cake!" I was literally crying and thanking Linda for this wonderful moment. The cake tasted great, there was NONE left after the party! People with "normal" children were asking me for the recipe, could not believe that it was made with no eggs. And from that moment I made almost all of the cakes, cookies, PANCAKES, CHOCOLATE MOUSSE and other dishes and all of them were a success in my house and with my guests. I bought extra copies of this cookbook and gave them as presents to my friends - that is what I think of this book. If you have a child with those allergies you simply must have it. And, finally, make him a real birthday cake!

kids with multiple allergies:
This book has been a great help to me ever since my 2 yr. old daughter was diagnosed with egg, milk, and peanut allergies one year ago. The recipes are so tasty that even the non-allergic in our household love them (and don't even realize I'm cooking "special foods"). Most of them are really simple to put together (I'm no master chef) and many of them use the same ingredients so once you've gone through the book and bought the ingredients you see appearing most often, you're set. My daugter is also allergic to soy. However, I just substitute corn oil where the book calls for vegetable oil and rice milk where it calls for soy milk and the recipes taste great!

THANK GOD FOR THIS COOKBOOK!:
Never in my life have I been so worried or desperate. My son has 8 food allergies!! The poor thing has been eating ONLY potato chips, turkey and Cheerios for the last year! Linda Coss's cookbook is amazing. She's done all the hard work, she's figured out all the substitutions, she's researched all the ingredients. I never knew my son could eat such a variety of food. The waffles are FABULOUS, the only difference is that I make them with rice milk. Now my son eats REAL breakfast food, has oatmeal cookies to share with his Dad and I have an overwhelming sense of relief. Linda Coss is a Mom of two boys with food allergies. She's been through everything all us rookies are going through now. You can tell each recipe was created and modified with love. :-) I have looked at other "allergy" cookbooks, and none compare. Her recipes are so DELICIOUS and EASY. Yes, THANK GOD for this cookbook. I feel as if our lives are somewhat normal now. Thank you Linda!

Great cookbook:
If you or someone in your family has a milk allergy, an egg allergy or a nut allergy or any combination, and you want to make safe and tasty food, this is your book. I had severe food allergies (corn, wheat, rice, beef, many food additives) for years and the only way to get safe food was to cook everything myself. This kind of cookbook is an invaluable aid.

Delicious recipes:
My daughter is 2 and allergic to peanuts, milk, eggs, and sesame seeds. We have a difficult time finding interesting foods for her to eat along with items the rest of the family can enjoy. The recipes in this book are great! I've made a few dishes for parties and everyone asks me for the recipes. This book also has a great recipe for a Chocolate Birthday Cake. We are very limited in what she can have in the sweets area so this is a welcome treat for her, and others love it also. It's been a life saver!
