Recommended by Prof Jonathan Brostoff, Professor Emeritus of Allergy and Environmental Health, King's Colege, London

Wow! I'm 33 and have been severely allergic to milk nuts fish and seafood for the whole of my life, and to eggs for 28 years. This is the book I should have written if only I had this lady's talent. Gorgeous pictures, lovely recipes, and a vast introductory section with refreshing, up to date practical advice on how to live with allergies. Absolutely no crystal hugging "aura field" nonsense. Absolutely no hint of "diets" and "find your intolerances" rubbish. Indispensible for those with real food problems and a bit of eye opener for those who need to know, including teachers nurses and professionals who deal with children everyday. Buy it for your local school, yourself, and everyone you know who is remotely affected by food allergy. Then bake the allergic people a chocolate cake and watch them cry with joy because they've never been able to eat one before . Fiona Anderson, London

Alice Sherwood was thrown into the bewildering world of food allergies when her son Archie turned blue and stopped breathing after eating pastry. Frustrated by the allergy-free recipes on offer, she got to work in her kitchen to devise food you would want to eat rather than food you had to eat. The result is the Allergy-Free Cookbook, with allergen-free versions of over 100 delicious recipes, so you can eliminate any of the four major allergens: egg, gluten, dairy and nuts - all delicious enough to serve to allergic and non-allergic alike.

With over 100 step-by-step recipes, all beautifully illustrated, Alice shows you how to make familiar favourites from shepherd's pie to chocolate chip cookies to show-stopping treats, brunches and lunches, children's party specials and elegant dinner party dishes.

There are tips on ingredients to beware of and techniques for cooking with unfamiliar ingredients such as gluten-free flours and dairy-free products. Store cupboard staples are given for each major food allergy as well as 'food heroes' and substitutes for problem ingredients. The resources pages list useful allergy-free food brands and specialist suppliers.

Allergy-Free Cookbook has been featured in The Mail on Sunday YOU magazine, 'The Week', BBC Good Food, Sainsbury's Magazine, Saturday Express magazine, The Daily Telegraph Weekend, Harper's Bazaar and Vogue.

What You Say
This is an excellent find. I have several friends with children who have allergies and the recipies I have tried were all super and really worked. Beautifully presented and photographed and clear instructions. Very good buy
C. Wake-Walker, London. Jan 7 2008

l throroughly recommend this book to anyone who has family or friends with a food allergy. As the mother of a child with severe egg and nut allergies, I have delighted in finding a book with delicious recipes that can be cooked for the whole family to enjoy. People are truly amazed when they hear the cakes are egg free. The chocolate cake is a must and my daughter now regularly asks to make the fairy cakes. Dorling Kindersley have published it in a highly presentable fashion. Thank you Alice Sherwood for making cooking fun and safe again.

This is first and foremost a very good cookery book. The recipes are new, beautifully presented, well photographed and really work. It is a good mixture of sensible basic recipes, often with a subtle twist, and new and interesting ideas. It is then also a very good book for providing for the many people one knows who have allergies, intolerances and even dislikes. The substitutions really work, and the results are really delicious. The poor allergic guest need no longer be given something dull on the side - here are real food ideas that everyone can eat, and intolerance 'prescriptions' that can be easily applied to your every day cooking. This is a very useful book to have on your shelves. The rhubarb sorbet is fabulous, and loved by my rhubarb despising child!
Lucy Taylor, 24th JAn 2008

New to the world of food intolerances, and facing a long list of foods that were now off the menu for my young daughter, I ordered this book. It has been very useful as the recipes can be tailored to suit your specific needs. I found it is easy to follow and there are a wide variety of recipes with many colourful photos of the dishes.

I have been struggling to find recipes for my children who are coeliac. They can not have gluten or wheat. This book is a fountain of information at the front and each recipe enables you to cook gluten free,dairy free, nut free or egg free depending on your needs. best book I've found and I would recommend it to anyone. Very easy to follow.
