Serves as a how-to guide for beginning and maintaining a healthy diet that can improve a child's brain function. Includes a wide variety of child-friendly recipes that are all gluten- and casein-free as well as soy-, corn- and egg-free for the child with multiple sensitivities. Covers, inter alia, how food sensitivities differ from food allergies, what to do about a picky eater, ways to disguise healthy food and get rid of junk food.
A third subtitle on the front cover of this book reads....what it is why it works how to do it. These three phrases really sum up the content. An in depth introduction into what is a gluten–free, casein-free diet, why it is necessary and who it will help, is followed by descriptions of different food types and how they affect people.
The recipes themselves are quite simple and easy to follow, but this is not a book for children to use. The kid-friendly part of the title refers to the sometimes problematic exercise in getting children to eat healthy food and the recipes that will entice them. Full of tips and suggestions, alternative foods and ways to present them, there is plenty here to aid in developing a healthy appetite, including simple recipes for dressings, sauces and condiments. There are also soy-, corn- and egg-free recipes for children with multiple food sensitivities.
Pamela Compart cookbook tackles all your concerns and serves as a how-to-guide for beginning and maintaining a healthy diet that can improve your child’s brain function.
