Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very informative
Although I did find that there are a few recipes which do contain ingredients that are supposedly not in this cookbook, I found the recipes interesting and tasty. If you ensure you use light buckwheat flour as recommended in applicable recipes and follow other hints provided by the author, I've found the recipes to be very good overall. This is a very good basic cookbook for people, like myself, who are just starting to discover the world of allergy free cooking/eating.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Very disappointing cookbook
Review by Linda Coss, author of "What's to Eat? The Milk-Free, Egg-Free, Nut-Free Food Allergy Cookbook".

Nine years ago, when my son was first diagnosed with multiple food allergies, this was the first cookbook I purchased. It proved to be very disappointing. The title of the book is quite misleading -- the book does not contain 325 recipes that are "free of wheat, milk, eggs, corn, yeast, sugar and other common food allergens."

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Misleading Title Left Me Disapointed
My child is allergic to nuts, which is certainly a common allegen. I was very disappointed to find nearly all of the baked goods recipes contain nuts. I did, however, find the general information in the first chapters to be helpful.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not exactly 325 recipes
I felt the title and synopsis were just a little misleading. I can't eat ANY of the allergens listed. However, only a handful of the recipes don't have all of the allergens. A little disappointing because I had high hopes that this book would be helpful.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An excellent resource for hypoallergenic cooking.
I am a naturopathic physician and I deal with many patients who have food allergies and intolerances. I have found this book to be an excellent resource and recommend it frequently to my patients. I have tried some of the recipes myself and they were good. Definitely a great place to start on the very difficult path of changing to a hypoallergenic diet.
