A crash course for busy parents on baking without wheat, gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, or nuts Has your child been diagnosed with food allergies? If so, help is here! Colette Martin has been there too: When her son Patrick was diagnosed with multiple food allergies in 2001, she had to learn all-new ways to feed him―and especially to make baked goods that he both could and would eat. Learning to Bake Allergen-Free is the book Colette Martin wishes she had back then. She ingeniously presents a dozen manageable lessons that will arm parents to prepare allergen-free baked goods the entire family can enjoy together. The book features: • More than 70 recipes (including variations) sure to become family staples―for muffins, rolls, breads, cookies, bars, scones, cakes, tarts, pizza, and pies― starting with the easiest techniques and adding new skills along the way • Clear explanations of the most common allergens and gluten, with all the details you need on which substitutions work, and why • Hundreds of simple tips for adapting recipes and troubleshooting as you go • Detailed guidelines and more than 15 recipes for making allergen-free treats from packaged gluten-free baking mixes • Special crash courses focused on key ingredients and techniques, including sweetening options, decorating a cake simply but superbly, kicking everyday recipes up a notch, and much more! Whether you already love to bake or are a kitchen novice, Learning to Bake Allergen-Free will give you the knowledge, skills, recipes, and confidence to make food that your family can safely eat―and that they’ll love! 56 color photographs

Such great information
Although I knew a lot of the information the author presents (eg. about crosscontamination), the information on cooking without eggs has been invaluable. So far every recipe I have used from this book has been delicious and none of my 3 children (10, 8, and 5) even noticed that anything was different. I am the one with the allergen issues and I have thoroughly enjoyed each of the recipes as well. So easy to follow with great tips on 'experimenting' to make sure your recipe comes out yum.

Fabulous!
This is really a great allergy free cooking reference! I search high and low for great allergy free recipies that are like the ones I'm used to cooking. cinnamon rolls..All the things I enjoy making and what my kids love eating!! I love this practical book! The author also explains why she uses the ingredients she picks. Ifyou are starting out on square one she explains everything. I already tweak recipies to make them allergy free as best I can. So, to have this book is really a rare and great find. Thank you!!!!!

Wish I Would Have Found this Book Sooner!
This is such a great book for baking without the most common allergens. I have been baking this way for about a year now trying (and mostly failing) on my own. This book gives a lot of great instruction on how and why you should use certain substitutes for the other. It's almost like a chemistry lesson!Love the flat bread and Vanilla Pound Cake recipe. Not too fond of the zucchini bread recipe but I was expecting the darker variety.When I have mastered the recipes in this book I think I will be able to go out and modify any recipe with the knowledge gained. Thank you for a great book!

No successes yet
I had very high hopes for this book and while it did have good information..I wouldn't call it a "crash course" since it was in my mind complicated reading...weights vs measure...add/subtract amts...I have made 5 things from the recipes..2 different scones....doughnuts, cookies .. all were awful..actually threw them away as none of these were edible...I dont get it. I am a very good GF baker but nothing in this book has turned out right. The only good part of the book and which was successful is converting store bought mixes to no eggs, dairy etc. There was other good information here and there in the book but the recipes??? not so much.

Good tips and tricks
Learned some tricks for dairy free baking when needed. Would have liked more recipes that were not also gluten and other allergy free. Could see it being incredibly helpful for multi allergy/food intolerance considerations.

Holy Grail Allergy Cookbook
I bought a copy of this book years ago when my son was diagnosed with dairy, egg, pn, and tn allergies as a baby, and recently discovered it missing. I immediately ordered a new copy. The advice on replacement ingredient options alone is worth the price! My only note: the white cake recipe is a no go. No matter what I try with it, it tastes like Jiffy corn bread, and that's just not cool for a birthday cake.

Wonderful reference
Anyone who has to deal with food allergies will benefit from owning this book. Rather than giving up on the delicious baked goods that everyone loves, alternative methods and ingredients can be used! Ms. Martin is generous in sharing all her tips and creating a "crash course" for families who need this information. Wonderful photos of real food, created and photographed by Ms. Martin herself, add to the authentic and valuable communication in this book.

Absolute must have for high allergy families!
As a mom to 2 high allergy children this is the best book I have ever purchased! The explanations are so helpful and easy to understand. Wonderful reading about flour options, egg replacer options, cooking techniques. She even gives resources for buying supplies. The recipes are amazing! Even my husband approves of this baking! I've baked allergen free before but my atempts never came out as perfect as they do now. I only wish I'd discovered this book earlier.

very informative, just what I was looking for!
I found this book to be amazing, my son has been asked to go on a 6 product exclusion diet and many of the books (with recipes) only focus on some of them and so still have many things he can't eat in them - the same as the shops really!I also found that I could definitely identify with her frustrations and difficulties as I am experiencing those too, especially the 'bread' issue. Colette gives her own experiences and handy and easy to get ingredients, as well as reciepies which are great (especially if your a busy mum with more than one child and a family that doesn't eat this way normally, although I have decided that all of us will eat much of the food he gets, as it's all going to be healthy and a good way to detox :0).

This book totally changed my thinking and every recipe so far has been amazing, but more important was the detailed information
With having a wee one on an elimination diet for the top 9 allergens, I was at a loss on how to make her life easier. Being Celiac, I have a background on GF living, but not egg-free, dairy-free and basically fun-free, or so I thought. This book totally changed my thinking and every recipe so far has been amazing, but more important was the detailed information on what to use and when. I have now purchased the Allergen Pantry Staples and can't wait to start experimenting.

Bake allergen free
Good book, good recipes

very thorough
What a great book. It has lots of good information so that you can really learn what you are doing. You are not expected to have prior knowledge at all. Much more than a recipe book.
