Whole Food Allergy Cookbook.......2007-10-05

I wish I had discovered this book long ago. I am allergic to peanuts, eggs and corn. Corn is the hardest as it is in everything as citric acid, dextrose, iodized salt, xanthium gum, etc. I only buy ingredients and this book works for me. I'm giving away all the other allergy cookbooks I've bought over the years.

Not so helpful..........2007-09-24

I was dissapointed as the baking recipies all need egg replacer. Otherwise the recipies are the same as what I have in an everyday cookbook.

The brand's being mentioned also aren't readily available in Australia so it is a bit hit and miss with the quantities of replacements.

Meals for food allergic kids that even adults will want to eat!!.......2007-09-19

We've made several completely delicious foods from this cookbook - Cauliflower Soup, Orange Zucchini Bread, Banana Bread, Applesauce Oat Raisin Muffins, Shepherd's Pie, Pork Medallions with Raisin Sauce, Granola Bars, and so on. I made notes in the margins of some of the recipes to adjust them for my children's specific tastes (basically, more sweetener in the baked goods), but these are recipes that I enjoy making and that make me feel better about my daughter's food allergies, i.e., "She's not going to be deprived of delicious meals when she is an adult! Look at all this amazing stuff she can eat!"

So thank you, Cybele, for sharing your cooking expertise with the world of food allergic people.

A cookbook I am actually using!.......2007-08-13

While I have been smitten by many cookbooks, each one giving me that initial pang of excitement as I scan the wonderful dishes that could be, there have only been a few that have gone from first viewing to the kitchen within 24 hours. In fact, it had been a long while since I had even tried a new cookbook recipe. Yet, The Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook was in my kitchen, already getting into the line of fire (I'm not the tidiest cook) by the day after it arrived. As it happened, there were recipes so simple, so undaunting that I had everything on hand and ready to go.

I loved the casual tone of this cookbook, and the unpretentious way Cybele Pascal approached recipes that I may have previously found intimidating. She brings a gourmet touch to the world of food allergies that I had yet to see. However, her recipes are surprisingly easy to master, and some are merely great ideas. I was immediately inspired by her Chocolate Covered Raisins recipe, so incredibly simple to make, yet something I had never thought to try at home. My husband adored the Saffron Rice, which offered a delicate touch to our rather meat-heavy dinner.

As the week progressed, I stepped it up a notch, trialing Raf's Cuban Rice and Beans, the Penne with Cauliflower and Olives, the Falafels (which my husband loved!) and even the Creamy Avocado Chicken Salad (I ran out of lettuce and bread, serving mine over quinoa). With so many "doable" recipes that sound good from the get-go, I have no doubt that this cookbook will continue to see some mileage.

Every recipe in the Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook is free of the top eight allergens, including eggs, milk, wheat (some recipes do contain gluten in the form of spelt, barley, etc.), tree nuts, and peanuts. There is no need to search through to figure out which recipes work and which don't as with some supposed allergy cookbooks. In fact, Cybele even provides "reverse conversions," telling you how to add back an allergen should it not be a problem for you. The focus is on real food, using whole foods whenever possible, or calling for only "lightly-processed" foods, if you will. To make it a one-stop shop, the cookbook covers recipes for every meal, snacks, and desserts.

If there were any comment I could make for improvement, it would be to add more specifics and tips. While her recipes are quite friendly to even novice cooks, I did find myself asking questions at a few points. When making the black beans, do I drain the cans or just dump them in? Could I use dried? How much would ½ head of cauliflower be? At my local grocer the conventional head was about half the size of the organic. Also, it is a pet peeve of mine when food processors are called for with no alternative method. One of the recipes I attempted in the blender with absolutely no success, returning to a hand method. This would have been nice to know in advance before I dirtied an appliance. In the end though, I did end up with some pretty tasty dishes!

There are many cookbooks I have liked, some I have loved, okay even a few that I have hated, but Cybele Pascal actually got me back in the kitchen. Now that is a testimony in itself.

So, so helpful for gluten free, dairy free cooking.......2007-08-08

I recently used the "elimination diet" for my family eliminating all of the more common allergens from our diet and trialing them back in to determine food intolerances for each member. This cookbook was critically important in my ability to cook for my family. My kids actually ate the desserts, I was able to substitute a gluten free cake for so many preschool functions - and I discovered the existence of "egg replacer"! The recipes are tasty and I will continue to use this book even though the diet is over and we could add a lot of food back in to our daily routine.

Book Description

Dieters everywhere are realizing that weight loss is a simple equation: You have to burn more calories than you take in. Pretty simple, right? You just eat fewer calories. The problem is, most low-calorie cookbooks cut calories by cutting fat, which also means they cut nutrients and flavor! They also fill you up with unhealthy carbohydrates like sugar and white flour. No more! Dana Carpender comes to the rescue with 500 delicious and healthy low-calorie recipes that include healthy fats like olive oil and nuts and healthy carbs like brown rice and whole-wheat bread. It's the best of both worlds, and the healthiest diet imaginable, because every calorie counts in terms of nutrition. There are no empty calories from fillers with no nutritional value. These recipes are delicious and healthy and will help you lose weight for good.

Great book.......2007-09-18

Dana writes the most useful cookbooks - no pictures but the recipes are easy and delicious.

Photos would have been nice..........2007-08-26

Its ok. The main reason I got this cookbook, based on the title, is to avoid excessive sugar, or, hopefully, to cut it out completely. The cookbook offers carbs and useable carbs, as a total, but doesn't list sugars specifically. Also, I would have prefered some photos. Its functional, I would go to this book with a mission or a plan. Its not something I will leisurely look through for ideas.

very good recipes.......2007-07-27

I am currently on a super low calorie diet when I get off of that this should be very useful in keeping it off

An average guy.......2007-06-16

While there is some useful nutritional information in this book, I think that the book is misleading in several ways and I don't think it was worth the purchase.

It's misleading to title it "every calorie counts" and then tell the reader she in not counting the calories from sugar alcohols used to replace the sugar in many recipes. She claims there is no reliable way to count those calories yet those calories are routinely listed on food labels and the product labels of the sugar alcohol manufacturers.

It's also misleading to say there are 500 recipes in the book when many are but small moderations of one master recipe. Do readers really need 6 variations of the cauliflower "mashed potatoes" recipe or 11 variations of the cauliflower rice recipe? It also annoys me that she only included a few baked goods recipes when her previous books had more of them.

Further, the book claims that these are recipes "the whole family will love"; yet many of the recipes are not just not mainstream. Do kids really love roasted turnips or cumin mushrooms (or the 6 variations on it)?

If you are a low carber or if you have a family to feed and are looking for ways to replace mainstream recipes with healthier alternatives, I think there are better and more creative mainstream books out there, even some of Dana's previous books. I just wanted to post this review because I want others to be aware of what I consider to be shortcomings in this book. I have returned my copy.

Dana is the best!!.......2007-05-27

Every cookbook author should read her books. She has a down to earth, easy to understand style that makes it seem as if she is just your friend or neighbor sharing her recipes with you. I own nearly every book she has written already and plan to buy the rest as soon as my social security check arrives. I have also purchased them all for my daugher and her husband, avid low carbers as well.

In addition to recipes, The Vegetarian Mother's Cookbook provides up-to-date nutritional information with recommended dietary intakes, complete guide to ingredients, suggested shopping list, and tips for saving time and minimizing work in the kitchen.

Customer Reviews:

The best Vegetarian Book I have ever read thus far.......2007-09-23

I am not a strict vegetarian and often get confused or uninterested in the menus many vegetarian cookbooks offer.
Cathe Olson has written a simple book, easy menu's, and most of all delicious recipes.

We have been enjoying so many tasty items from this cookbook. Not only for pregnant women, but for the entire family and your friends.

Good book.......2007-08-14

This is a great book on vegetarian eating while pregnant. Will help you get all you need and has great recipes!

Heather mama of 5

Great vegetarian cookbook.......2007-08-09

I wish I'd had this cookbook when I was pregnant. I bought it now that I am nursing. It has lots of great recipes to help with for common pregnancy symptoms/problems. As well as for when nursing. It seems to be a great cookbook for day to day for the whole family anyway as the recipes are all very healthful and nutrtious, yet not complicated which is especially great when pregnant, as well as a busy mom!

Just as expected.......2007-08-01

Great book - just as it was described. Came in a timely manner, and was less than I could have gotten it at Barnes and Nobel (not including the shipping of course) but being 8 weeks preggers and TOO SICK to move, it was the best route for me to take. Thanks a bunch - Love it.

A Natural Food Inspiration.......2007-04-15

Though I do not qualify as a vegetarian mother or mother-to-be, this cookbook is easily one of my all time favorites. My copy has nearly doubled in size from all of the pages I have earmarked to trial. I have already trialed the Gingery Black Beans and Sweet Potato Salad w/ Peanut Butter Dressing. Both were easy to prepare, delicious, and surprisingly filling as a main dish. The author has also inspired me to purchase a few new-to-me ingredients, such as wheat berries, for her Wheat Berry Pilaf, and some coconut oil to prepare the wheat-free Coconut Almond Shortbread. I do hope that she opts to produce a second vegetarian / vegan cookbook titled for everyone. After all, we don't want the men to feel shy about purchasing and using her nutritious book of recipes!

A few of my extra notes & tips:

This cookbook contains over 300 recipes, all of which are vegetarian, most of which are vegan/dairy-free or have vegan/dairy-free options

The recipes are fairly easy to follow, with more than half containing 10 ingredients or less. They range from extremely simple options, like basic oatmeal and homemade ginger ale, to the slightly more complex tofu quiche and gluten-free bunt cake.

This is an attractive book, suitable for gift giving to women who are expecting. It is a unique and intelligent baby shower gift, that will likely stay in their collection long after the baby is born.

This cookbook deserves five stars for layout. The font is large enough and very easy to read, recipes are typically one per page, and the format is very simple to follow.

Though the entire book is not a one-size-fits-all for special diets (with the exception of vegetarian), there are many wonderful gluten-free, soy-free, egg-free, and nut-free recipes throughout. It is up to the reader's discretion to pick the recipes that are suitable for their diet.

I am a dairy-free consumer, who is learning to cook vegan. Though the cookbook is geared more towards vegetarians who are tinkering with cutting out the dairy to go vegan, I found it incredibly useful.

The Best Comprehensive Cookbook.......2006-09-21

Through the years I have owned this cookbook, I have found more recipes for various dishes, various types of cuisine, and special diets (like dairy-free and wheat-free) than any other cookbook I've owned. There are also instructions to make your own baking mix, make your own baby food, answers to questions about cooking, etc. I plan to order this for my engaged daughter. However, a new copy can be ordered straight from La Leche League for only $18.95 and that includes a bonus of another cookbok, Whole Foods From the Whole World. It's not out of print and I'm puzzled why anyone would sell it for more than list price.

Excellent cookbook.......2006-07-24

When my daughter was born in 1985 I bought this cookbook. My family loved it. Through this cookbook I learned that I could use natural sugars such as honey instead of processed sugar and whole wheat flour instead of the basic white flour. For someone who wants to get back to better way of feeding their family, this is the book. My daughter is expecting her first child and I have bought this book for her. I'm so glad I have found it as mine has the cover worn off of it.

Excellent cookbook that even offers different ways to fix a recipe.......2006-03-25

I got this cookbook in the early 1980's. It is a very good cookbook! I haven't seen the more updated versions..but, if they are like the older edition I would highly recommend. Most of the recipes offer vaiations to fit your tastes and eating approach. I have given it as a gift and has been welcomed into many families.

Good Organization, Awful Cookbook.......2005-10-07

There are a lot of great whole foods cookbooks out there. Unfortunately, this isn't one of them. It does have lots of great information in it, but the recipes have consistently been disappointments. I've tried it time and time again over the past three years and have only had one recipe win "approval" from my family.

Great cookbook.......2005-06-25

I have done a LOT of research on the best eating plan and cookbook for our family: an elderly person with diabetes, a sixty-plus person with high cholesterol and an overweight person with hypoglycemia. I wanted an eating plan that emphasized natural, whole foods as opposed to processed and refined foods. Unfortunately, most of those types of cookbooks were for vegetarians or vegans. We believe that God created animal products for our nourishment as well as plant products, so we were not interested in becoming vegetarians or vegans. When I ran across this cookbook, I was thrilled. I had the original 1970's LaLeche League Cookbook and liked it, but it is out of date as far as our current nutritional knowledge goes. So I was glad to see that they had produced a newer cookbook.

Pros:
1)Outstanding cover and binding! Every cookbook should be so well made.
2)Recipes from, and tested by, "real" people as opposed to fancy chefs or paid testers.
3)Whole foods, but not "weird" ingredients
4)Nutrition information after each recipe so special diets can be followed if needed.
5)Divided by breakfast foods, lunches, snacks, breads, dinners, desserts, home-made versions of store bought products.
6)More than just a cookbook-many helpful comments. For example: "This is a great recipe for busy mothers. Assemble in the morning while you are getting breakfast." or "This goes well with poultry."
7)Offers many alternative ingredient choices
8)Got two books for the price of one from LaLeche League. Whole Foods From the Whole World was included.

Con:
The last edition was in 1993. A new edition needs to be done to include the lastest information in nutrition. For example, recipes in this cookbook used carob in place of chocolate. Research has since determined that carob is no more nutritious than cocoa. Chocolate has been found to contain valuable antioxidants.

Also, any type of vegetable oil is used in the recipes. The cookbook does not reflect knowledge about the differences in oils and the dangers of transfats. However, it appears that no hydrogenated products are used in the recipes and one can use current knowledge to use the correct oils since the recipes don't specify which oils.

Must have in every kitchen.......2001-10-02

This is my absolute favorite cookbook, and I have tons. This book focuses purely on preparing wholesome, not "health-nut", food for your family. These are recipes for real food that real people can prepare and will enjoy. I especially like this book because it contains many discussions on "how-to" issues, such as bread kneading and sour-dough starters. Even my husband the meat and potatoes guy, likes these recipes. No weird ingrediants, just good wholesome food. Ten thousand stars!! I also recommend Whole Foods From the Whole World and Whole Foods for Kids to Cook.

Good Tasting Healthy Family Food.......1998-01-20

I've had this cookbook since in came out around 15 years ago, and am needing another copy because it's so well used! Many tasty but healthy recipes. The best "health food" cookbook I own.

Book Description

Newly revised for the 1990s, The Baby Cookbook is the final word on infant nutrition. In addition to hundreds of wonderful recipes, it includes vital new information on vitamin requirements, allergies, childhood obesity, nursing, introducing solids, and balancing meals. It also features all the facts on the health benefits and risks of milk, eggs, salt, fluoride, and complete and incomplete proteins.

The Baby Cookbook also includes the author's personal journal of experiences feeding and raising her own baby. Knight's journal takes some of the fear out of raising a baby by showing parents what to expect (and beware of) in feeding their own infants and toddlers.

And, of course, there are the recipes. All of the more than 250 recipesnearly 100 of them new for this edition -- have been designed to be low in sodium, contain almost no sugar, and generally encourage good eating habits.

Best of all, most of the meals in this book can be shared by the whole family. There's Chicken Fricassee, Seafood Chowder, Cheese Enchiladas, Baked Potatoes with Salmon Sauce, Barbecued Ribs, and much, much more, including Homemade Apple Pie. We are not talking strained peas.

The Baby Cookbook is a complete guide to cooking for your family -- from ovens and stove tops to microwaves and crockpots. Finally, it's possible for working parents to prepare quick and easy meals for their children without sacrificing taste, variety, or nutrition.

Customer Reviews:

I returned this book!.......2002-02-09

I am glad that I received "Mommy Made and Daddy Too" before this book, or I may have actually taken Knight's advice on how to feed an infant. It seems that she introduces foods too fast (i'm not a doctor). Something very disturbing is that from 6 mos to 12 mos she writes "each meal should be accompanied by nursing, formula, or milk". I have seen nowhere else that cow's milk is acceptable three times a day instead of formula or nursing. I also didn't like the diary. It wasn't a true diary in that you didn't learn how she introduced foods to her daughter. Instead you saw a meal every now and then and something about how she taught her daughter to sleep in her crib by letting her cry herself to sleep. Not my kind of mothering all around!! I also question whether many toddlers would eat cold avocado soup or shrimp with almonds.

Interesting food.......2001-09-17

The recipes in the book are very interesting and a good change from the bland food usually given to babies. I am Asian and I eat a lot of spicy food. This book has given me a way to introduce my baby to the kind of food we eat at home, like curries for example.

Against medical advice!.......2001-06-04

As a practicing family physician, with a spouse who is a nurse, I was shocked at the advice given in this book. Many of the recommended dietary additions go completely against the accepted standards of the American Academy of Pediatrics. For example, whole milk and cottage cheese are recommended by the authors at a far too early age. I returned it immediately and would not recommend it.

The Baby Cookbook, Tasty and Nutritious Meals for the Whole.......2000-12-31

This book is awful. Just about every recipe requires shopping at a specialty store for ingredients. Also a good portion of the book is taken up with the diary of the author's daughters first 2 years of eating which wasn't very informative. If you are looking for simple, typical supermarket ingredient recipes look someplace else!

A cookbook I keep out all the time!.......2000-11-11

I found this book 8 years ago when my first baby was just getting ready to try eating. I checked out a dozen likely-looking books from the library. The rest went back, but this was renewed until I bought my own copy. I devoured this book! The nutrition information was very helpful for me in general, the suggested order for introducing foods was something I practically memorized, and a great help especially with my baby who turned out to be allergy-prone. The diary was a nice break from all of the information, more of an anecdotal resource. It also helped to give me an idea where the author was coming from and how to put foods I wasn't used to into an everyday setting. The recipes are astounding - simple to make, wonderfully healthy, tasty for the whole family, and there's a little bit of everything in there. I've tried new foods from these recipes and been encouraged to re-do some of my own recipes with a more healthful eye. I've given away several copies and bought my most recent when my latest son arrived. He's 2 now and I still pull this book down for ideas 3 or 4 times a month. I can't imagine feeding a baby without this book - it's the best I've read! I cannot recommend The Baby Cookbook highly enough!

First let me agree with everyone else--if you have a gluten allergy, don't bother with this book. However, if you can tolerate gluten, it's great. I agree with the other reviewer in that you may need to tinker with the recipes to get a result you and your family like. In my opinion, the flour charts alone make this book worth buying. I just wish she would have added the carb, protein and fiber counts along with it.

Tasty stuff.......2006-11-05

Good recipes for main dish and sides. I like the info. on flours too.

Title is Misleading.......2006-03-16

This book is designed for parents of children who are allergic to the most common allergenic foods. The "everything" means the usual foods, but if your child has multiple food allergies, this really isn't the book for you.

Not as good as I expected!.......2005-01-08

This book is O.K. and would be helpful to parents provided their child is not sensitive to sugar!! While the author provides substitutes, it would be up to you to "experiment" with the recipes. I for one do not have the time to tinker. My daughter has a sugar cane sensitivity among other things and I'd say that the majority of these recipes contain sugar, and quite a bit at that. I tried the banana loaf cake (this one is made with pure maple syrup)and it was EXTREMELY bland!!! We threw that out and the vinegar choc. cake was an absolute disaster because we had to try and guess at an appropriate substitution for the one cup of sugar! All in all, I wish I hadn't spent the money because there just aren't enough recipes that my daughter can actually eat "as is."

Not for egg and milk allergies.......2003-12-12

This book has recipes with egg. And lots of kids who have milk allergies seem to have milk and egg. There are very few recipes that I found useful. I got very frustrated trying to find something that my son could eat. Sure you can use soy milk but then there is the egg. Does not make any sense to me. There are much better books out there.This one is useless for me.
