Living Without's Favorite Books: Free for All

If we could dream up a cookbook, it might look like this: 150-plus recipes that are free of the Big 8 allergens, low in sugar, kid favorites, simple to make with a limited number of ingredients and that focus on healthy foods. That’s a lot to ask from one book but Allergy Proof Recipes for Kids (Fair Winds Press) has all this—and more. Leslie Hammond and Lynne Marie Rominger offer recipes developed specially for kids’ palates and busy parents. Yes, there are hot and yummy “pockets,” pizzas, brownies, cookies and birthday cakes. But this book also gives unique and delicious ways to prepare vegetables, macaroni salad, savory crackers, sandwich bread and tamale casserole—all with ingredient substitutions for common food allergens. Neatly organized for today’s lifestyle, Hammond and Rominger help make kid-friendly, allergy-friendly cooking a piece of cake.
