Simply Sugar and Gluten-Free by Amy Green Very recently, a new branch of our local library opened at the end of our street. Everything inside is shiny and new and that includes the books in their incredible cookbook section. After thumbing through many crisp, clean and colourful cookbooks, I found Simply Sugar and Gluten-Free by Amy Green. Being allergic to not only wheat but also corn, I found many of the recipes would work for my diet or had ingredients that I could easily substitute so I checked it out and took it home. This book is great. I have already made a few of the recipes and have so many others earmarked to try, that I now have this book on my 'must buy' list. The book contains '180 easy and delicious recipes that can be made in 20 minutes or less'. |

Finally...Food I Can Eat!! by Shirley Plant I recently stopped into my local Chapters store as part of my personal research project to learn more about living with a corn allergy. After much effort I came across a great book I want to share with everyone. Finally...Food I Can Eat! Even better, the author is Canadian. If you suffer from a food allergy or food intolerance to dairy, wheat, yeast, corn, sugar, eggs, soy, nuts, nightshades and/or gluten, this book is for you! If you follow a diabetic, allergy-free, or heart-smart diet, this book is for you! The recipes are low in sugar and cholesterol. I love it! Shirley has done a pile of research and put together not only a great selection of easy and delicious recipes, but also information on common food substitutions you can make, helpful hints for cooking, a general guide to food allergies and intolerances, and information on the ideas of food combining and rotation diets. Her recipes are all categorized by allergen and listed in an easy index in the back of the book for quick reference. Kudos to you Shirley! I can't imagine how much work it was to compile the information and recipes for this book but bless you for doing it. This book is well worth the trip to Chapters to check it out!! |
