Very disappointing and very deceptive.,
By GFCF Mom (Victoria BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Autism Cookbook: 101 Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Recipes (Hardcover)
My son has autism and we've been GFCF for over 3 years. I am well educated in the area of nutrition for children with autism and am very good at creating new dishes and baked goods that fit the GFCF diet. I'm always excited to try new recipes but this book was a huge disappointment.First of all, the number of typos is shocking. There is also missing information such as oven temps in a few recipes and ingredients are missing and there is even a recipe under the wrong title and picture. There appears to have been no editing done to this book. But what is worse is the deception. The pictures in the book are very clearly not pictures of the actual recipes. There is a picture of a cupcake with "blueberry" frosting that is supposed to have been coloured with fresh blueberries. But the picture is very obviously of frosting coloured with food dye, there is no way there is one blueberry in that frosting picture. And there is no way those Chocolate Chip Scones in the picture or any of the other pictures for that matter, were made with buckwheat flour. The fact that the author is using purchased, gluten and dairy filled stock photos is very deceptive because what you create from the recipe won't even come to close to resembling the picture. It's offensive that she is deceiving parents into thinking their end product will look like the photos. There are a few good recipes in the main dishes and side dishes but otherwise they're very disappointing. Not to mention there are many that aren't even close to healthy. Many recipes are very heavy on oil. 1/2 a cup of oil in a broccoli salad seems excessive. And 1 1/2 cups of oil in a cupcake recipe is ridiculous. I know cupcakes are a treat but that much oil is just wrong. Ms. Delaine also uses agave in almost everything and the benefits of agave are suspect. The other option she uses is evaporated cane juice. Although marginally better than regular sugar as far as processing goes, it's still sugar and it's expensive sugar at that. Plus she lists that you can use agave or evaporated cane juice. They're not interchangeable! One is a liquid and the other is crystals. Why not use a good quality honey? It's still sugar but at least there are other health benefits to it. I really don't believe Ms. Delaine really understands how food and nutrition relates to autism as is clear in many of her recipes. I would not recommend this book to others and I will be returning it. I'm astonished this was published.

Great recipes,
This review is from: The Autism Cookbook: 101 Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Recipes (Hardcover)
Great recipe ideas for persons with gluten allergies. You may need to tweak recipes a bit if you have other allergies like eggs and beans etc.
