The Australian Allergy Centre recommends FRIENDLY FOOD as a must-have in the kitchen for anyone with food sensitivities!

Friendly Food, part of the Food for Life series published by Murdoch Books, is more than just a recipe book. Written by leading allergy experts from the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, Friendly Food is an essential resource in the kitchen for people suffering from food allergy or food intolerance symptoms.

Friendly Food contains over 250 pages of information and recipes. The opening chapter focuses upon understanding food intolerance, naturally occurring food chemicals, food additives, food allergies and coeliac disease, how each of these can affect us, and how best to adjust our daily life and diet in order to avoid them. There is a range of comprehensive and easy to use food charts which list the levels of naturally occurring chemicals such as salicylates, amines and MSG within different foods. But chapter one is just the appetiser!

Within Friendly Food there is ample recipes for all lifestyles and ages. From family meals and school lunches, to entertaining, snacks and drinks, sweet treats and baking. There are recipes for every occasion. Even better, all recipes indicate if they include dairy, egg, nuts, gluten or soy, and are rated according to their natural chemical content. Information about recipe variations and food substitutes is also provided.

The Australian Allergy Centre recommends the Friendly Food cookbook as an excellent resource for any individual who is seeking to better understand their food intolerances and lead a happier, healthier, tastier life.
