Allergy-Friendly Food for Families is the most trustworthy, comprehensive, practical, and kid-friendly collection of recipes that exists for the important and growing audience of allergy-aware families. Unlike other allergy cookbooks, this book covers not one or two allergens, but the five most common allergens in kids: wheat, dairy, eggs, nuts, and soy. Each of the 120 recipes is free of at least three of these allergens; most are free of all five. When parents are desperate for ideas for what to make for dinner (or lunch, or snack time), they want recipes from someone they trust, for food that tastes good, that doesn't require a lot of fancy ingredients, and that the whole family can eat. Allergy-Friendly Food for Families is the ultimate resource. From the three crucial mealtimes (breakfast, lunch, dinner) to the "fun" foods families can't live without (desserts, snacks, parties), parents are completely covered. Perhaps most importantly, all of these recipes are simple for parents to make. Recipes such as Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies, Pear Yogurt Dunkers, Good-for-you Nachos, Polenta Mini Pizzas, Giant Cookie Cake, Veggie Bite Soup, and Cool Zucchini Noodles will make kids forget they have allergies. Parents will love the additional informational sections on spotting food allergies, stocking an allergy-free pantry, deciphering labels, and other frequently asked questions. Food should be delicious; family time should be fun. This book reflects those values.

Coss (How To Manage Your Child's Life-Threatening Food Allergies), a mother of children with food allergies, has written her second book on the topic, to address the issues of how to cook without dairy, eggs, or nuts. However, a large proportion of the approximately 120 recipes in this slim volume are for dishes that would not normally contain these basic ingredients anyway (i.e., Chicken Marsala, Roasted Asparagus, etc.). While these items do indeed meet the criteria, they can also be found in a great many other sources. The book does include some introductory information on dealing with food allergies, such as the importance of avoiding cross-contamination in the kitchen, reading package ingredients lists very carefully, and a short list of resources. The most useful chapters are those on baking, which include recipes for cookies, cakes, and quick breads made without eggs, milk, or nuts. A lack of illustrations and no real explanations on how or what to substitute for these allergens make this work less informative and less useful than it would be otherwise. An optional purchase.
