Customer Reviews

an allergy cookbook with a great attitude!

This book is more of a "complete intolerance" cookbook than a complete allergy cookbook, it's true. But what I've learned recently is that most of my allergies and other auto-immune problems were rooted in food intolerances. I'd been living a very restricted diet after being diagnosed with many food allergies, but finally found out that dairy was the real culprit. Eating a green diet free of foods that trigger my sensitivities has given me my health back, after what I now realize was over a decade without it. My asthma went from moderate/severe to practically non-existent, my energy levels are so much higher, my joint problems are fading, and I'm finally living without the daily drama of IBS. It's a good diet to treat auto-immune/inflammatory diseases. The authors of this book have a great attitude and a positive outlook for a life with food sensitivities (unlike many draconian allergy cookbooks), and I think it will really resonate with younger readers (children and teenagers) whose initial impulse is to resist or rebel against restricted diets.

Proud Mama!

Hi guys! These two wonderful young authors are my two wonderful young adult children and What To Eat's whole philosophy is to try and get you back eating scrumptious food and NOT stuck in the I can't eat anything ever again mode. We were there, but we found when we switched to ALL organic foods that many of the allergic problems just fell away. But you have to be ruthless - no processed foods, no junk foods,no pesticde laden foods, no yeast and no sugar. What To Eat is all about getting back to a healthy, old-fashioned, clean and simple diet. We hope you seriously enjoy! Proud Mama, Rosita
