Gremolata's Dean Tudor made this one of his October 2009 picks!

This book is by Connie Sarros, who has written a lot of books dedicated to sufferers of celiac disease. This means avoiding gluten for life. In the new edition (the first was in 2003), she has added casein-free (dairy-free) options as well. Research has shown that gluten-free and dairy-free alternatives may help conditions like autism significantly; she lists 32 such conditions, as ALS, ADD, bulimia, fibromyalgia, dementia, dermatitis, epilepsy, psoriasis, thyroid problems. There’s also a list of 50 foods which contain gluten, and should be avoided. There are lots of tips on how to do without, including milk substitutes such as rice milk, almond milk and soy milk. Recipes cover all courses and are relatively easy to prepare. They are also kid-friendly. As well, there is nutritional information for each prep. While the typeface is nice and large, the small point size of the index makes it hard to read. Preparations have their ingredients listed in avoirdupois measurements, but there is no metric table of equivalents.
