Jardine, a nutrition educator and outreach coordinator for Whole Foods, has updated and revamped her 2001 title Recipes for Dairy-Free Living for readers also looking to exclude gluten from their diets. She offers an easy-to-understand medical perspective on dairy and gluten allergies along with a thorough lesson on reading labels and learning to shop with a gluten- and dairy-free diet in mind. While many of Jardine's recipes call for special ingredients that might be hard for some readers to find, she offers some original cooking techniques intended to contribute to overall dietary health as well as foundational recipes for ingredients like gluten-free flour mix and date syrup. This book is written from a natural foods, healthful perspective, though not all the dishes are vegetarian or vegan.
VERDICT The tempting recipes and new cooking techniques included here will appeal to those with a medical reason to eliminate dairy and gluten as well as inquisitive, health-conscious cooks.
