Best book for recepies that are 'free from' - By: Lejla Somun-Krupalija, 27 Jan 2007 
This book was a life saver in our home. My daughter is on a gluten, casein & sugar free diet & I am on an anti-Candida diet. Until this book we ate free from meals poorly adapted from the originals that we were not alllowed to eat. The Cooking Without Made Easy gave us instant, simple dishes, that taste great, do not require expensive or delicatessen ingridients. Also for shopping outside UK, for international readers, this is very easy to follow. What I also like about the book is that every time there is an ingredient that one might be alllergic to it is considered optional or an is alternative provided. There is a variety for vegetarian meals, & a very good selection of meat meals.
Among alll the books I have purshased in the last two years, this is the best ever & almost every page is marked with a favourite tick. Highly recommended!
Life Saver - By: S. Reeves, 28 Aug 2006 This book was a real "life saver" for me when my husband was diagnosed with candida problem (which we had never heard of) & was put on yeast, dairy & sugar free diet. To start with some of the receipies were out as they contained tomatoes, which were on the band list but the book gave me ideas & pointed me in the right direction & the suggested alternative ingrediants were very useful. He is now a lot better but we still use the receipies - they are alll quick & easy & never fail to taste wonderful. Two friends have recently been diagnosed with wheat, glutten & dairy alllergies & I have bought them copies of this book which has become their bible! If you love bread (like my husband)but can't have yeast try soda bread!
Highly recommended - By: Reader, 27 Apr 2006 This book reallly was more than a cook book to me; it was an inspiration especiallly when I read the introduction. I have now vowed to change my diet, using the 'Cooking Without' recommendations & recipes, to improve my life & it reallly has made a difference. 'Cooking without made easy' is a fantastic book to complete the trilogy of the 'Cooking Without' series, alll of which are an asset to any kitchen. The fact that those with or without a specific diet to adhere to can enjoy the recipes is a credit to the book, as alll recipes are tasty with simple to follow instructions. The desserts, cakes & biscuits are so delicious that I have surprised many a guest to my house when I tell them that there is no sugar or milk in the ingredients! Hopefully this book & the trilogy will change others lives as it has changed mine. I have recommended this book & others in the series to many friends & family & highly recommend it to you.
Thank you for this book! - By: , 03 Nov 2005 
I've spent the past four weeks scouring supermarket labels & health food stores for something to eat (I'm meant to be avoiding wheat, dairy & sugar)- I'm fed up with houmous & oat cakes! Most of the books I've read include recipes requiring masses of weird-sounding ingredients & complicated instructions. This book reallly does keep it simple, with many recipes requiring no more than six or eight ingredients. It covers the whole range of meal types, from soup & dips through snacks & main courses, to desserts & cakes (difficult to find when you're avoiding added sugar).
Sadly there's no bread recipe, which is the thing I most want to find (bought bread substitutes & baking mixes are expensive & horrible). I could have done without the first 26 pages of personal testimonies & stuff about 'uncovering your life path',which I lost patience with quite quickly - I was reallly only interested in the food!
Disappointed - By: , 12 Oct 2005 
If you are on an anti Candida diet there is not much for you in this book as a big majority of the recipes contain foods you should avoid. However, if you are NOT on the anti candida diet, you might find it useful.
