Breads, muffins, cookies, and cakes—treats often eliminated from restrictive diets—get the allergen-free treatment from Martin, who learned new ways to bake after her son was diagnosed with multiple food allergies. As readers bake through Coffee Cake with Streusel Topping, Millet Baguettes, and other recipes, they'll learn from her advice on "How to Form Scones" and "Choosing Replacements for Eggs with Gluten-Free Baking Mixes." Martin includes an overview of available flour blends, oils, sweeteners and other ingredients, as well as invaluable appendixes on troubleshooting problems and making substitutions.
VERDICT Parents of children with food allergies will appreciate this practical book.
