When I was told to put my autistic son on a dairy and gluten free diet 6 years ago I did not have a clue, I had never seen the point in baking a cake or a loaf of bread if you could buy it! Although we can get staples on prescription the book has made birthday cakes and treats a pleasure and surprise for all my children and the breads and pancake mixes vary his diet, the recipes are easy to adopt to dairy free if necessary.I have tried other books for variety, one used chickpea flour in everything which tasted wierd, I wonder if the recipes were tested! Others just specify a proprietory GF flour which seems pointless, and expensive if you cannot get them on prescription. Faced with the challenge of putting a family member on this diet, if you can get hold of this book it will be the only one you'll ever need, ours is reinforced with sticky tape and covered in food stains!

The kind of book a food chemist would create

Obscure ingredients, and odd mixtures could characterise this book. Although the recipes are definately gluten free, they are complicated. Three or four different types of flour are used in many of the recipes, and include bean flour, soya flour, cornflour, teff flour....etc. If you are used to the usual rice, tapioca and potato flours, then this book is not for you. Also, ingredients have to be weighed instead of measured, which is very time consuming. I by far preferred "Special Diet Solutions" by Carol Fenster. It is far more practical.

I never cooked for myself before, but this book told me exactly what to do. Now I'm enjoying my food again. My meals had gotten much the same, but now I'm trying all the different things and putting weight back on.
