        Everyone's Welcome

        The Art of Living and Eating Allergen Free

        by Amanda Orlando

        Based on her experiences with anaphylaxis and living in a family with multiple food allergies, author Amanda Orlando grew up with few resources about coping with anaphylaxis both in her own kitchen and in other’s. Through years of self-education, Amanda collected recipes, found substitutions, and food brands to suit her requirements. Having previously published another cookbook for allergen-free desserts, and a popular online platform through her blog and writing projects, Amanda is eager to further share her knowledge and experiences. It’s resources like these that she wished she had while growing up.   The recipes in Everyone's Welcome dispel the myth that allergen-free foods are also flavour-free and fun-free. The allergens that each recipe is free from are clearly listed. Ranging from breakfast to dinner, and quick snacks, there is something for everyone. The simplicity of the recipes will suit readers who are on the go, such as students, busy parents, professionals, and those with little time to cook. Recipes will be accompanied by Amanda’s stunning photography.   Recent statistics show that in the United States, 8% of children have food allergies, and among that number, almost 40% have a history of severe allergic reactions to food and 30% have multiple food allergies. In Canada, food allergies are present in 10% of children in urban areas, and 6% who are in rural areas. Food allergies are on the rise, and this book will be increasingly useful not just to immediate sufferers, but to their family, their friends, coworkers, teachers, and camp counsellors; it’s a book for all ages.

        Goodbye Gluten

        Happy Healthy Delicious Eating with a Texas Twist

        by Kim Stanford and Bill Backhaus

        There are many gluten-free cookbooks on the market, but none like Goodbye Gluten! Roughly one-third of people in the U.S. are either gluten intolerant or have celiac disease, and for these people, eating gluten can make them sick--very sick. The engaging team of Kim Stanford and Bill Backhaus represents both these audiences, and together they have developed over 200 flavorful and tempting recipes for all types of dishes, from appetizers to desserts.  Goodbye Gluten is both a cookbook and shopping guide for people who do not want gluten in their diets and are tired of missing out on their favorite foods. In each recipe the authors use everyday brand names that can be found at your local grocery store, which means you no longer have to check labels to decipher if a product is gluten-free. Another appeal of the book is its use of Texas and Tex-Mex flavors to add a kick to what can be bland fare.  Goodbye Gluten makes it easy to live the gluten-free lifestyle, because it is not just a diet, but a lifestyle. With 30 color photos of the completed dishes, even the most dedicated bread-lover will want to get into the kitchen and start cooking.

        Déjouer les allergies alimentaires

        by Marie-Josée Bettez, Éric Théroux

        Heralded as a “must-have tool,” “a culinary masterpiece” and even a “bible,” the first edition of How to Thwart Food Allergies was a resounding success in Quebec, where it quickly became a bestseller. This second edition, beautifully illustrated and more expansive than the first, includes 200 tasty and easy-to-make recipes, as well as several gourmet variations. The authors show that it is possible to prepare lasagna without cheese, mayonnaise without eggs or mustard, mousses and ices with coconut milk and (very moist) cakes without eggs or milk.Much more than a simple recipe book, this work teems with information, tricks of the trade and advice on how to understand food allergies and manage them better. The substitution chart alone is worth a look. Extremely complete, it helps you adapt your own recipes by eliminating problem ingredients. Now you can take real pleasure in food again by focusing on what you are allowed to eat instead of what you are not!
