BOOK DESCRIPTIONS

The Allergy Self-Help Cookbook was originally published in 1984. It continued to sell well for 15 years, establishing it as a classic in the field of food allergy cookbooks. But meanwhile, many new foods had emerged, offering food-allergic folks many more choices. Clearly, even a classic cookbook needed to be updated to include the vast array of new foods now available. This revision took most of the year 2000. The revised edition was released in March, 2001.

But what good are new foods if you don't know how to use them? Relax. The whole first chapter, titled "Exploring New Ingredients", is devoted to making the reader comfortable using new ingredients, and the recipes offer examples of how to work with them in a variety of dishes. For sample recipes from this book, see the Gameplan For Recovery Page. The idea is not only to help you produce a delicious dish, but also to empower you with sufficient information that you will feel confident enough to adapt your favorite old-standby recipes, using new ingredients in place of the offending ones.

Food allergies impact our whole life and lifestyle. So there are five more chapters of coping tips and information you need to understand before tackling the 350 recipes. Here's an idea of what you will find in this cookbook that is so much more than a collection of special recipes:
Planning A Rotary Diversified Diet
Nutrition Basics In Brief
The Allergy-Free Home
Eating Away From Home
Helping Allergic Children

The whole book is free of wheat, corn, refined sugar, yeast, and cow's milk, and very few recipes call for egg and soy. Here are some features of this book:
Extensive breakfast and dessert chapters, many new recipes using spelt, kamut, quinoa, and teff (as well as amaranth, buckwheat, oat, rice, barley, and rye, which appeared in the first edition), many more wheat-free pasta dishes, an entirely new chapter to help you with allergic children (cradle to college), sample menus, introduces readers to agave nectar (a new low-glycemic sweetener from cactus), an enlarged snack chapter, plus nine pages of Allergy Resources to help you find the hard-to-find.

The Yeast Connection Cookbook by William G. Crook, MD and Marjorie Hurt Jones, RN; revised and updated in 1998. Dr. Crook was under a certain amount of pressure to come out with a cookbook to complement his "Yeast Connection" series of books - but his kitchen skills left a bit to be desired. So he invited me (Marge Jones) to write the cookbook to provide tasty and appropriate recipes to folks who were trying to plan a diet to fight yeast infections, by restricting yeast, sugars and simple carbohydrates. He agreed to write a "brief introduction" explaining just how yeasts - which normally don't cause illness - could flourish in a person's gut and, under certain conditions, cause an almost endless list of symptoms with resulting poor health. His "brief introduction" goes on for the first one hundred pages - and the reader is the winner. S/he ends up with two books in one - his explanation of the theory, plus over 225 recipes to help you eat well during an otherwise tough time in recovery. A section in the back of the book includes menus, too, because so many folks had trouble figuring out what would be OK for them to eat - and feed their families. See The Yeast-Free Page for sample recipes from this book.

This book was the first - perhaps only - yeast-fighting cookbook to promote a balanced diet for recovery (rather than a diet excessively high in protein, which can be hard on one's kidneys and may cause other health problems). Because food allergies are common with yeast overgrowth, most major food allergens are omitted from the recipes - no refined sugar, limited complex carbohydrates for the first few weeks, no wheat or milk, and little egg or soy. Because the late Dr. Crook felt strongly that most of us need to eat more vegetables, the veggie chapter is huge. It introduces the reader to less common choices - foods that, typically, you are much less likely to react to.

The book contains innovative breakfast and lunch ideas, no-yeast breads, wonderful soups, creative salads, zingy vinegar-free salad dressings, and even fruit-sweetened snacks and desserts for when the patient is getting better - but must still be off sugar.

Sure, a yeast-free, sugar-free diet can be a challenge. And recovery can take from six months to two years. But this book will arm you to follow the rules - yet still eat well, while you're getting better.
