Another recipe book for allergy-free cooking
The other day I wrote about how the Edmonds Cook Book is easily adapted for some types of allergy-free baking. However, making substitutions to adapt “normal” recipes to allergy-free diets can be a challenge, especially when you’re starting out and learning how to prepare food for an allergic person.
The New Zealand Allergy Cookbook has been written by New Zealanders with New Zealand ingredients and tastes in mind.
I’m a bit of a fan of the New Zealand Allergy Cookbook. It has some great recipes — everyone in the house loved the Straw Cake —and is really clear about the allergens in each recipe. Every recipe has a list of the allergens it is free of, so if for example you have a child with both nut and dairy allergies it is easy to see if a particular recipe is suitable for them.
If you’re starting out on the “allergy journey” this is a great resource to have in the kitchen with you. It’s also nice-looking enough to make a good gift.
