The Allergy Cookbook: Tasty, Nutritious Cooking Without Wheat, Corn, Milk, Or Eggs

Front Cover
New American Library, 1984 - Cooking - 304 pages
Abstract: The 300 recipes in this book were all developed by the author, who for years has prepared meals for a husband who was allergic to wheat and corn. After a brief overview of nutrition there is a section devoted to basic cooking ingredients for non-allergic dishes. A short section is devoted to cooking techniques to ease preparation. A section describing the allergy diet cautions the reader/cook to study food labels, to be especially nutrition conscious, and to try new ingredients and cooking techniques. Recipes are grouped into 15 sections. Each section is headed by a chart that lists the recipes in the section and the kind of diet for which it is appropriate. Many recipes are devoid of as many as 4 allergens (wheat, corn, eggs, milk). Some recipes have instructions for adding milk and eggs if they are allowed; these are indicated in the tabular material at the top of the section. (emc).
