Cooking allergy free has actually become enjoyable for
me as so many of the recipes from this book seem to have become
classics in our house. Everyone loves them, and it makes me
feel good to be able to provide my child with foods from this
book that bring us all a sense of normalcy.
– J. Nyiri, Ohio
Thank you so much for creating such wonderful, healthy and DELICIOUS
recipes. They are all simple to prepare, with easy to find ingredients.
Your cookbook has made my life of managing a life-threatening
food allergy so much easier. Thank you for providing us with
some variety at the dinner table!
– E. Sperling, Mission Viejo, California
It was a relief to find your book and find answers to the
question of what to cook for three meals a day and snacks. I
have tried many recipes for our family. We especially like the
Seasoned Baked Chicken, Easy Winter Potatoes, and Herbed Oven
Roasted Potatoes. I also appreciate that your recipes are made
of "real food."
– N. Dilley, Minneota, Minnesota
I'm really excited that your recipes don't use any strange
ingredients like some of the other cookbooks I've bought –
it's all things I have on hand.
– L. Newman, Clarksville, Maryland
This cookbook has changed my life! I never want my son
to feel different and left out, and now he does not have to.
The recipes are good enough for people who do not have food
allergies – no one can tell the food is egg-, dairy-,
and nut-free unless I tell them.
– M. Pelletier, Lancaster, Massachusetts
My husband, who does not have any food allergies, prefers your
recipes to the "regular" ones and recently said, "Why
would anyone eat anything else but these!"
– S. Waynick, St. Charles, Illinois
This book has changed our lives and become our 'cookbook
bible'! We use your recipes almost daily. I've even purchased
copies for friends, so they can have a fun recipe to try when
we come over for dinner.
– J. Smith, Picton, Australia
I never knew my food-allergic son could eat such a variety
of food. I have looked at other "allergy" cookbooks,
and none compare. These recipes are so delicious and easy!
– L. Schoneck, Orlando, Florida
Simple recipes...fantastic results. And the S'Mores Bars
are the single best baked good I have ever made.
– H. Pasternak, Lexington, Massachusetts
Thank you for a great cookbook. You've changed the quality
of life for our family.

My 2-1/2 year old daughter has multiple food allergies
and your recipes have allowed her to enjoy so many foods that
I was afraid she would never be able to have. A few of our favorites
are the Oatmeal Cookies, the Potato Latkes and the Turkey Meatballs.
– D. Mello, Pleasanton, California
I love your cookbook! It has a lot of recipes that have
become weekly staples in our house. We all love the desserts
and the pancakes! It is one of the only cookbooks I have found
that has very easy, normal ingredients to use and the recipes
are very good.
– D. Price, Chicago, Illinois
Anyway just wanted to thank you for such a comprehensive
book - well done. You have certainly made my life easier, especially
when it comes to parties and entertaining.
– J. Roche, Sydney, Australia
I use your cookbook on a weekly basis!
– W. Saltz, Scottsdale, Arizona
Not only are the recipes FANTASTIC (especially the chocolate
chip cookies), but I feel like I have a "support network"
each time I pull out and use this cookbook.
– J. Patturelli, Haverhill, Massachusetts
I can honestly say that our whole family has enjoyed every
recipe I have tried thus far. The doctor is fairly sure my son
will outgrow the milk and egg allergies, but I will continue
using this cookbook because the food is really good.
– J. LaSpina, Collegeville, Pennsylvania
Your book changed the way I felt about the news of my son's
allergies. It gave me great and tasty options, and, most importantly,
hope for my son's future. It made me realize that he is going
to be able to be a normal kid.
– A. Peterson, Northbrook, Illinois
I love how simple and super-yummy the recipes are. It's
such a relief to know I'm feeding my son things that are safe
and healthy.
– R. Jensen, Kaysville, Utah
I was ecstatic to be able to give my son a real birthday
cake, one like he always asked me for – not a "kind
of a cake, because poor Miguel has allergies," or a flat
almost inedible "thing." I had tears in my eyes when
I had it all decorated and everybody was oohing and aahing over
it, and my son was squealing with delight. Thank you!
– P. Navid, Barcelona, Spain
Your cookbook has been amazing, and I even get asked by non-allergy
people for the recipes. We especially love "Jason's Chocolate
Cookies" and the "Orange Teriyaki Marinated Flank
Steak." I hope you are working on a second book!
– M. Carley, Flower Mound, Texas
I am so excited to finally have a food allergy cookbook
with recipes that actually turn out to be edible and delicious!
– J. Tygard, Sparks, Nevada
I love your book! You have great recipes for allergic kids.
– R. Cati, Boston, Massachusetts
I had Easter dinner at my home this year for my entire
family, and everything was from your book. All of my guests
loved the food! The best part was seeing my little boy with
cake and frosting all over his face. I never thought I would
be able to make the good desserts everyone else enjoys, but
truly your recipes have been a blessing.
– D. Trentwood, Knoxville, Tennessee

Your book is by far the BEST cookbook out there. I like
it because you are one of the few authors that put together
recipes with things you can purchase at the "normal"
grocery store. The meals are great.
– A. Hofmann, Severna Park, Maryland
I have an 18-month old daughter whom I am still breastfeeding,
so we both need to be on the same diet. The cake and cookie
recipes have really come in handy – everyone who comes
to visit likes the baking.
– P. Blundell, Christchurch, New Zealand
Thank you for providing some much-needed variety. It's
really nice to have new foods periodically, and even more wonderful
when the whole family can enjoy them!

imagine living without this book! Thank you!

With your cookbook I am able to make delicious food we can all
enjoy.

My allergenic 18-month old loves your pancake recipes.
He now goes right up to the freezer, pulls out his bag of frozen
pancakes and hands it to me whenever he wants a snack!
– D. Fetterman, Martinez, California
Baking with my son was something I figured I wouldn't do
much of until I bought your book. Now he can have virtually
the same treats as all his other friends at preschool. Plus,
the Lake Forest Sweet & Savory Chicken and Maple Glazed
Vegetables are two of my all-time favorite recipes!
– J. Yingling, Sacramento, California
My husband and son are both unable to eat milk and egg, so cooking
is a real challenge. They especially like your bread, cake and
cookie recipes. The pancakes and waffles were also a real hit!
– S. Henery, Columbus, Ohio
We love your oatmeal cookie recipe, just tried the gingerbread
cookies and loved them too! I don't own any other cookbook that
I have consistently liked all of the recipes I've tried inside.

My daughter loves your recipes so much that yours is the only
cookbook we are using. Our 2-1/2 year old failure to thrive
Reflux kid with severe allergies is actually starting to gain
weight using your recipes. Thank you!

My husband is a Certified Executive Chef, and he also enjoys
the dishes that I make from your book!

My mouth was literally watering while reading the recipes!

The chocolate chip cookies are a staple in our home, and
the egg-free latkes have been declared by everyone in my family
as "even better than grandma's!" I don't know what
I'd have done without your cookbook. I had a dangerously underweight
child, who is now in the 16th percentile thanks to your recipes.
– J. Rosman, Cleveland, Ohio
I made your Frosted Maple Drops and everyone including
my daughter loves them. I also made your pancakes for breakfast
and they were the best.
– L. Jackson, Sydney, Australia
My 7-year-old food-allergic son has always wanted to have
waffles, just like his 12-year-old sister. Thanks to your book
he got to eat waffles for the first time, and he loved them!
– L. Thompson, Brooklyn, New York
Your cookbook, as the teenagers say, RULES! The recipes are,
as promised, tasty, delicious, and dairy/egg/nut free. Everyone
at our neighborhood block party raved about the raisin bars,
and the dilled cucumber and bay shrimp salad was even a hit
with my 2-1/2 year old son! Thanks again for a wonderful guide
to good food in the world of food allergies.
– D. Rossetti, Maple Valley, Washington
My 16 year old son was recently diagnosed with dairy allergy.
This cookbook sure makes things a lot easier. You have so many
great recipes!
– D. Hammond, Windsor Locks, Connecticut
We love your cookbook! People love all the things we've made
from it (especially the desserts)! We've recommended your book
to friends without any food allergies and they've bought it,
since it's also great if you are kosher and looking for nondairy
side dishes and desserts.
– M. Smith Katz, Hamden, Connecticut
I have tried many of your recipes and they all taste yummy.
My son can't stop eating what I make from your book!

The more I use your cookbook, the more impressed I am. We use
it all the time. I especially find useful the recipe suggestions
for a complete meal, as well as the recipe review before each
recipe.

My two-year-old food allergic son had never had cake or cupcakes
before we tried your Chocolate Layer Cake with Chocolate Frosting.
Wow! You should have seen the look on his face licking the beaters!

My son and I love the Sweet and Sour Turkey Loaf. It's nice
to find a food allergy cookbook with main dish, as well as dessert/breakfast
recipes. Your book has made our lives so much easier.

We love your cookbook and think it's a lifesaver (literally).
I am a pediatrician and also recommend the book to my patients.

My son is now 3 years old and has had food allergies since he
was born. I have found it so difficult to make him foods....but
now I found this book and it is awesome!
– K. Richards, Boca Raton, Florida
The chocolate cupcakes were as good as – or better than
– any other 'normal’ chocolate cupcakes I've ever
had! I made a batch for my son's preschool class, and his teacher
asked for some of the other recipes from the book, so they can
make 'safe’ things for their cooking projects.
– S. Go, Mountain View, California
This cookbook rocks! It is the most incredible tool for
people who have to work with food allergies – very impressive.
– J. Beauregard, Portsmouth, New Hampshire
I have made the chocolate chip cookies and the S'more bars,
and the whole family likes them. I tried the chocolate layer
cake for a party –- we entertained 100 people, so I made
several cakes – and they were a HUGE hit. Thank you so
much for the time you invested in this project.
– A. Blackdeer, Madison, Wisconsin
As a mom of a six-year-old daughter with severe food allergies,
one of my biggest challenges is providing some variety for meals.
Before Linda’s book it seemed our daughter had the same
meal every breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Now we have choices
which the entire family can enjoy.

Reviews:
I would expect a milk-free, egg-free, nut-free cookbook to be
full of complicated recipes, hard-to-find ingredients, and extensive
instructions. Yet what I found with Linda Coss' 'What's to Eat?'
was exactly the opposite. Moms of food allergic children will
consider 'What's to Eat?' a savior, though the rest of us should
not be left out. This is truly on of the best recipe collections
I have come across in years, allergen-free or not.
– Alisa Fleming, www.GoDairyFree.com
