Millions of children across the country have food sensitivities or allergies, and the number is on the rise. And most of these children don?t get to eat cookies, for fear of the reaction they might have from the wheat, or the peanuts.
This book?s recipe?s take into account all of the most common food sensitivities like wheat and gluten, peanuts, or dairy. Each recipe can be modified to fit the dietary needs of the child.
Divided into three sections-- snacks, main dishes, and treats--this book also provides information about how to find what you need in a regular grocery store, instead of requiring a separate trip to the natural foods store.
With the recipes in this book, even the most sensitive child will get a cookie too.

Don't buy this book. Here...let me save you the time and money and energy. Take any "kid friendly" recipe you want and make the substitutions as follows:
for egg...use an egg substitute
for milk...use a milk substitute
for wheat...use a wheat substitute
for butter...use margarine
for a nut allergy...don't use nuts
to make it low in sugar...use less sugar
to make it gluten free...don't use gluten
There. I just saved you $15. These are by far the most absurd... more info
Not dairy free:
Probably a good cookbook if you need to be wheat or gluten free, but otherwise, forget it. The cover is very misleading as almost all recipes include dairy or eggs or both, and the suggested substitute for any cheese is a soy imitation. I think if they just removed the list of the supposedly allergy-free items from the cover, then one wouldn't be so surprised and disappointed, as many allergy cookbooks are not for all allergies.
misleading - not allergen-free:
I checked this book out from the library before purchasing and was very glad that I did not waste my money. For a similar value, just pick up any standard cookbook and omit your allergens when cooking. (Allergic to gluten? Simply use GF flour. Allergic to eggs? Leave them out. Allergic to dairy? Use soy. Allergic to soy? Well, you're on your own with that one. Hmmm... maybe just... leave that out too?)
Don't waste your money. . .these recipes are poor quality!:
I bought this book when my son was first diagnosed with an egg and nut allergy. First of all, if your child has these allergies and no others, don't even bother because the substitutions are just like "omit nuts" or "use ener-g egg replacer". Really? That's not too creative, folks. I don't need a special cookbook for that. And am I really going to make a quiche with egg replacer? These recipes are more geared toward eliminating gluten, and the other allergies are more of an afterthought. The other... more info
