What's to Eat? The Milk-Free, Egg-Free, Nut-Free Food Allergy Cookbook, 2008-05-31
I bought this book because over the years I have grown into several food allergies. Which is a huge bummer. But, this book has helped me be able to make food that I can enjoy. Its an awesome book!

Great Cookbood for the Food Allergic, 2008-02-29
I bought this cookbook about a year after my daughter was first diagnosed with food allergies, and it has been a wonderful resource for me in the kitchen. Before I bought this cookbook, I used to make two meals, one for my daughter and another meal for the rest of us. With these recipes, I found that I could make one meal that was safe, and that tasted great, for the entire family! I recommend this cookbook to everyone struggling to find ways to feed their Allergy Family!! - Owner, Meraby's Allergy Family Foods

This book is awsome!!!!, 2008-02-26
I highly recommend this book to anyone that has to cook for a loved one with dairy, egg, and nut allergies. You really take for granted the foods you eat every day untill they become unsafe for a familiy member. I was thrilled to be able to make pancakes, cookies, and cake for my daughter with these allergies. She is my youngest of three- so we all eat foods prepared with recipes from this book- and they are good. The recipes are easy to follow and use common ingredience. It has been really difficult to find resources for these specific food allergies. This book is great!!!

Not enough for trouble spots, 2008-02-24
The author warns this book is not a place to find "replacement" foods, but rather a book of recipes that "just happen to be" allergen-free. Her chapters include:
-Soups & Salads
-Beef
-Poultry
-Fish
-Pasta
-Potatoes
-Rice
-Vegetables
-Miscellaneous
-Quick Breads & Breakfast Foods
-Cakes
-Cookies
-Other Desserts
While I assert that we sometimes WANT replacement foods, my biggest complaint is that it doesn't have enough where these allergies cause trouble. Egg, nut and dairy allergies cause difficulties with breakfast, dessert and baked foods. Those are the areas where this cookbook treads lightly. It offers some wonderful cookie recipes! The cake recipes, however, taste too "healthy" for my family. :) Other than that, we've not tried anything because we haven't needed to. I know how to cook vegetables and main dishes without dairy, eggs or nuts. I don't need a special cookbook for those.
Also, the recipes don't allow for "growing out" of allergies. We've just discovered that my son, while he still has his dairy allergy, may no longer be allergic to eggs. It's much easier to just pop in some eggs than to make the oil/water/baking soda mixture necessary to use these recipes. It would be nice if the author allowed for substitutions if not all the allergies exist.
Overall, I'd say it's a good book, but I prefer The Egg, Dairy and Nut Free Cookbook.

EXCELLENT - A MUST HAVE - Allergies or Not!!!, 2008-01-08
I purchased this book based on the title and the previous reviews but was still hesitant about what the outcome would be. My 10 month old daughter is allergic to dairy, eggs and nuts (and my husband is allergic to ALL nut products) and this book has been a lifesaver! EVERY recipe I have made has been a HUGE hit with the ENTIRE family. I have even made the cinnamon applesauce cake for the extended family and they all asked for the recipe! We love these recipes and I plan to make them part of our regular weeknight meals regardless if my baby outgrows any of her allergies. I would recommend this cookbook even if you do not have any allergies in your family. They are easy to follow recipes with amazing outcomes!What's to Eat?
