The Child-friendly Food Allergy Cookbook

The number of children who are sensitive or allergic to certain types of food is on the rise. Imagine how a young child must feel watching their friends eat birthday cake or munch on cookies while they have to do with yet another carrot stick or dry rice cake for fear of the reaction they might have from the wheat or peanuts. Leslie Hammond, who suffered from severe food allergies as a child herself, knows this feeling all too well. Now the mother of allergic children herself, Leslie has developed over 100 recipes that will appeal to children. The book is divided into three sections - snacks, main dishes, treats - and its recipes take all of the most common food sensitivities like wheat, gluten, peanuts and dairy products into account. You can modify each recipe to fit the dietary needs of your child and you are also provided with information about how to find ingredients in your local supermarket. Leslie writes from the perspective of an ordinary working mum and doesn't design eating regimes that would take all day to prepare. With the recipes in this book, even the most sensitive child will get a cookie.
