For those who prepare home-cooked meals for their family and also like to entertain, cooking for people with food restrictions can be challenging. After all, it's hard enough some nights to get one meal on the table, not to mention two or three if you are contending with different needs. And those who suffer from food allergies typically feel left out of eating what everyone else is. Cooking Allergy-Free provides the cure. Tackling the "big 8" allergens - eggs, soy, nuts, gluten, dairy, shellfish, fish, and corn - Cooking Allergy-Free features 150 recipes for all courses, from starters to mains to desserts. These recipes are not your standard family fare but instead are healthy gourmet - Pumpkin Pear Soup with Sunchokes and Herbs, Spicy Cauliflower Fritters, Orange Balsamic Chicken, Flourless Molten Chocolate Cookies. Each recipe will be free of at least one of the 8 allergens (highlighted visually with icons), with substitutions included to make the recipe suitable for people with other food allergies. Recipes will be tested by a qualified dietician to ensure their accuracy; nutritional data will be included. Strategies for grocery shopping, stocking the pantry, and keeping an allergy-free kitchen to prevent cross-contamination are also included.
