probably the best of it's kind

While I didn't follow the diet, this is the only book I've found that really has some good combined allergy recipes. There are still a few foods that can cause problems in some of their recipes (eg.tomato, barley) but it still seems like the best I've seen.

Discovering Your Allergies or Trying New Foods

"Quite often when you feel stressed, you should think about your diet rather than look for the things in your life that cause you stress." ~ pg. 12 You may already have a pretty good idea of what you are allergic to and this book will help to pinpoint additional allergies if you are still having specific symptoms. By eliminating most palm oils, peanuts and nuts from your diet, you may solve many problems. Soy butter and soy nuts are just as delicious. The list of symptoms that indicate a food intolerance is a long one and you are sure to find a symptom here that could include frequent headaches, fatigue or insomnia. A short discussion about environmental causes for allergies is discussed - chemicals used in household cleaning can be significant in skin allergies. Switching to some of the Seventh Generation products can help or try Mrs. Meyers cleaning products. Helpful suggestions include: Soaking rice in mineral water to enliven the grains Spouting your own beans, grains and seeds for salads Purchasing oil in glass bottles Using kelp as a substitute for salt The authors introduce foods like umeboshi plums, kamut, quinoa and tamari. You may recognize many of the healthy foods presented and then enjoy using them in the recipes. Amaranth and Apple Pancakes - uses sheep's milk and amaranth flour Miso Soup - seaweed and miso soy bean paste Roast Chicken with Plum Stuffing Seafood Paella Aduki bean burgers Millet Croquettes Redcurrant Sauce Barley Scone Bread Date and Coconut Muesli Bars Cherry and Coconut Slices Chocolate Hazelnut Biscuits Fig and Lime Sorbet Lemon and Elderberry Cordial Mushroom and Tahini Spread From my perspective, the recipes in this book would add to my diet and help me include more foods than eliminate foods. So, this book can be seen from two different perspectives. I don't see any deprivation in sight...this looks like a celebration of new foods and eclectic recipes to try as soon as you can make a trip to the health food section of your local store. "The majority of people with allergies or food intolerances react to less than five items, of which the most common are tap water, dairy products, wheat, and other cereals that contain substances similar to gluten..." ~pg. 34 ~The Rebecca Review
