Book Description
This is a cookbook for those with special dietary restrictions including: Celiac Disease, Diabetes, Autism, Low Sodium, Vegetarian, Vegan, Kosher and/or allergies to:
Corn, Dairy, Eggs, Peanuts, Soy, Tree Nuts, Yeast
Adjustments are also included for rice and potato intolerances. The book is user-friendly. Nutritional breakdowns are given for each recipe. These recipes illustrate that you don't need to buy exotic, expensive ingredients; most of the ingredients in this book may be purchased at your local grocery store. You don't need to spend hours in the kitchen; these recipes are designed for ease. You don't need special griders or machines; regular kitchen appliances are used, like a mixer, blender and oven. And most importantly, despite your diet restrictions, you still deserve to eat foods that are delicious and satisfying. If you say, "This is 'pretty good' for being gluten-free, corn-free, yeast-free, soy-free and 'whatever-free", then it isn't good enough! The recipes in this book will prove to you that, no matter what your diet restrictions may be, food can taste wonderful again.

 Annoying format March 9, 2007

When I saw the list of dietary restrictions on the cover of this book, I thought it would have lots of great things for my daughter, who has almost all the allergies this book supposedly addresses. The adjustments included in the recipes, however, are common sense, and only work if you have some of the restrictions. Ex- If you can't have dairy, use margarine, if you can't have corn or soy, use butter. I was expecting more recipies that don't need all the substitutes. The lay-out was also very cluttered, between the lists of possible alterations and dorky cartoons.

This is a helpful book for anyone on a weird special diet. My only complaint is that because it addresses so many different restrictive diets, it is sometimes a little hard to figure out what you can use if you are only restricting one thing, like sodium. But the recipes are tasty and they work.
 I CAN EAT AGAIN! FANTASTIC BOOK! July 22, 2006

I am celiac, allergic to corn, soy and diary, and I try to eat vegetarian. I thought I was limited to bland, plain foods but this book taught me that I can enjoy eating again! I love this book and use it all the time. The variety of vegetarian entrees is tremendous and there are recipes for things I never knew existed. And no fancy or hard to find ingredients are used which makes the meals so easy to make. This book has been my life-saver! There is a user-friendly chart at the back of the book which makes it so easy to see exactly which foods comply with my diet. I wish I had found this book sooner!
Horrible Proofreading/Lack of Knowledge July 1, 2006

I bought this book because it appeared to be good for vegans and vegetarians who also want to reduce their gluten/wheat consumption. I thought with the word "vegan" on the front of the book, that at least the author would know what that was. There's a definition section that involves the author making uninformed statements about a (lacto-ovo) vegetarian diet not causing death to animals. There are supposed vegetarian items with marshmallows and Worcestershire sauce. Page 36 involves a recipe, Surprise Muffins, that states that vegans and vegetarians need to omit the gelatin; yet on the SAME page, Applesauce Bread tells egg-free people and vegans to ADD gelatin to the recipe. I am very disappointed in this book and the way it is written. I can understand that people make mistakes, but these are repeated throughout the book.

This book is such an invaluable resource for anyone on a special diet!!! I found the author to be knowledable and incredibly interesting and the recipes to be delicious and easy to make. I've bought copies of this book for all my friends - even those who are NOT on special diets...that's how good these recipes are! Thank goodness for Connie Sarros - she has truly filled a need for those of us suffering from food allergies!
