Food allergies and intolerance to foodstuffs such as gluten, lactose and wheat are on the increase, and more and more people are struggling to find safe, healthy and affordable alternatives to foods that the rest of us take for granted.

The more than 230 recipes in this expanded and revised edition of the South African Cookbook for Allergies and Food Intolerance have been tested and fine-tuned by the author over many years, and have been specially developed to fit in with local eating patterns and preferences.

Emphasis is placed on the types of foods – such as bakes – where allergy sufferers usually struggle to find suitable dishes, and great care has been taken in choosing ingredients and substitutes that are affordable and widely available.

The comprehensive introduction provides essential information on allergies and intolerance to various foods, and give helpful advice on how deal with allergies in specific situations, for example, when travelling, or at children’s parties.
