About this title

From the Back Cover

Do you suffer from sore, itching eyes, sinusitis, headaches or palpitations? Do you have constant digestive problems, skin rashes or inexplicable mood swings? You could well be allergic to wheat, the major cause of allergy in our diet and a staple food that is an ingredient in almost every food you buy - not only bread, biscuits and breakfast foods but soups, sauces, pickles, casseroles, puddings and chocolate. This helpful informative book, by a writer with twenty years' experience of devising special diets, could change your life. Wheat-Free Cooking gives you a guide to the numerous symptoms, physical and mental, that could point to wheat allergy; advice on how to identify the hidden wheat in many ordinary foot items you buy regularly; how to banish all trace of wheat from your kitchen; how to ensure that your wheat-free diet is nutritionally balanced; and a wide range of recipes catering for every meal of the day, all guaranteed wheat-free. Wheat-Free Cooking uses economical, easily obtainable ingredients that are simple to prepare, and it allows you to eat types of food that normally contain wheat - even bread, cakes and pastries! It enables you to cook meals that will tempt every member of the family, entertain in style and indulge your taste-budes to the limit. And everything you eat will be good for you.
