Around the World Cookbook
By Abigail Johnson Dodge
Available at www.amazon.com
Although this cookbook is not necessarily written for individuals with food allergies, it can easily be modified to fit your diet. It's a wonderfully written and photographed book, one which encouraged my kids to learn about cooking in general, allergies or no allergies. Amazon writes, "While cooking these traditional cuisines, kids also learn about the countries they're from: how a tandoor oven works, what smorgasbord really means, and how to make a croque monsieur into a croque madame."
Bakin’ Without Eggs
Rosemarie Emro
Available at www.amazon.com
Finally, delicious recipes for cookies, cakes, and other baked goods that use no eggs! Millions of people—including 5 percent of all American children—have a food allergy, and eggs are one of the most common culprits. In this easy-to-use collection of recipes, Rosemarie Emro presents more than one hundred crowd-pleasing desserts and other treats that contain no eggs. These are delicious cakes, cookies, breads, muffins, brownies, bars, pies, and cobblers with all the flavor, texture, and delights egg-allergic families have been longing for. Everyone who wants to avoid eggs can now rediscover the joys of baking. (Ed. note: A reader recommends Susie’s Banana Bread, Loaded Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Heavenly Brownies....)

Readers' tips
If you are allergic to eggs, try Ener-G Egg Replacers for your baking needs. Available at Whole Foods. Carol Fenster writes in Special Diet Celebrations (p. 231), “Ener-G recommends 1 1/2 tsp. Egg Replacer powder mixed in 2 Tbsp. water. In this book, I use 2-3 times as much powder for better results.”
Nutmeg is NOT a nut. It is obtained from the seeds of the tropical tree species Myristica fragrans. It is safe for individuals with tree nut allergies.
Coconut is a seed. It is safe for individuals with tree nut allergies. If you have concerns, speak with your allergist.
