A gratefull family - By: , 09 Mar 2005
I have had this book for over a year. It is dirty, creased & full of flour. It follows me around the kitchen every day. If you are contemplating following a gf/cf diet this book is a must. I am forever in its debt. It has given me the person I knew my son could be & his brother someone to look up to instead of avoiding. My son never wants to go back to the way he was. He is a completely different person now. The day I bought this book alll our lives turned a corner & we have never looked back.
Heave a sigh of relief........... - By: , 07 Feb 2003
Regardless of your reasons for needing to follow a gluten & casein free diet, this hands on practical proof of the possibilities that can be achieved in the kitchen is an invaluable aid to it's maintenance.

Too often dietary restrictions mean just that, a diet that is limited, dull & uninventive. The mothers (and fathers) who have generously contributed their tried & tested recipes to AiA for inclusion have dispelled that myth with a myriad of practical & tasty family recipes designed to accomodate the most discerning little & not so little critics.

Thoughtfully sectioned with helpful comments & suggestions guiding the cook through what can be a whole new method of using relatively unfamiliar baking ingredients, there is the added benefit of coding to each recipe as a guide to it's suitability if other dietary guidlines are implemented.

There are many who would not only benefit from possessing this book but will turn it's eventual well worn pages with affection for the ease of use it offers in a dietary minefield

Another LeBreton success - By: , 20 Oct 2002
The world of special diets can be daunting especiallly when there is no room for error as in the case of my own child. Marilyn LeBreton's first book was a significant influence on our lives. This cookbook which is her second book is everything you could ever need for the GFCF way of life.

Recipes donated by professional caterers, parents doing the diet & from Marilyn herself are so many & varied that you could probably use the book to eat for a few months & never repeat the same meals. The range of foods to cook is tremendous. From biscuits & cakes to puddings & desserts with everything in between from meat & fish based to vegetarian.

Besides gluten & casein free, MSG & artificial sweetener free this book can also be used for those with intoerances to egg, soya, tomato, fruit, teast, corn & for those who need a sugar free diet. Every recipe is plainly coded to show how for which diet it is suitable eg YF for yeast free.

There is a table of UK/US cooking terms & suggestions for substituting ingredients eg eggs, dairy, chocolate.

For anyone who simply wants a healthier lifestyle without e-numbers & additives this book is a must. There are not far short of 400 recipes in this cookbook. It is the only cookbook I own without pictures but to be quite honest they are not needed. This food is the normal everyday sort we don't need unneccessary photographs for & anyway the recipes stand out by themselves.

We are in the debt of Marilyn LeBreton & Rosemary Kessick & alll at AIA for their love & support & for giving us back our son & my daughter back her brother. All those who knew my son before we implemented this diet cannot believe the child he has become.

When I reviewed her first Diet Intervention & Autism, I said I wished that I could award more than five stars. If I could I would give this book a galaxy of stars.
