As the busy mother of five young children, Kelly Rudnicki faced a daily challenge when it came to feeding her family. Things got even more complicated when one of her sons was diagnosed with severe food allergies. Launching the Food Allergy Mama website, she struck a chord with parents and home cooks in similar situations and made it her mission to prove that allergen-free meals can be easy and flavorful. Showcasing the very best of Rudnicki's repertoire, The Food Allergy Mama's Easy, Fast Family Meals makes it simple to please a hungry crowd. Rudnicki purposely tests her recipes on friends and neighbors who don't have food allergies just to make sure her cooking tastes like "regular" cuisine. The result is a bounty of delicious offerings, including: Morning Glory Muffins Breakfast Burritos Creamy Tomato Soup Hearty Pasta Featuring Grandma Jeanne's Bolognese Sauce Oatmeal Fudge Bars All recipes are made without milk, butter, cheese, eggs, or nuts. She also includes time-saving tips, and ideas for inexpensive ingredient substitutions, including tofu and applesauce. Menu ideas and holiday celebrations make this book the most comprehensive guide of its kind-a one-stop resource for allergen-free, worry-free home cooking every day of the week.

Abstract: In this revised edition, the original intent of making food hypersensitivites comprehensible remains, embellished by new findings developed during the last decade. The belief by allergists that food allergies are on the increase has in part motivated the addition of up-to-date informational apprendices. Some of the topics covered are: characteristics, symptoms and hazards of food allergies; milk, eggs, and wheat allergies; and food additives. Menus, an extensive recipe section, and resource appendices are included.

Includes directory of organizations, government agencies, medical specialist referrals, clinics, medical centers, diet, nutrition, and food advisors, diagnostic laboratories, and product suppliers.
