Sweet Alternative: More Than 100 Recipes Without Gluten, Dairy and Soy Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES TO ENJOY THESE RECIPES!!!
But for someone with allergies, it definitely makes the book that much more amazing:
About a year ago, I found out that I was allergic to gluten and soy. I have always loved food, but it was not until I was forced to restrict my diet that I realized how disabling it feels to have food allergies. I started getting obsessed with all the foods I could not eat.
After doing much research, I found books and websites with recipes, but they were not as refined as I had hoped. They were a nice start, good substitutes. But that was the problem: they were substitutes! When I would try out the recipes, my friends would insist on trying them. Who isn't tempted by fresh baked desserts? But I hated having to give them a disclaimer. Then to hear that same response: "I guess you have to get used to them."
When I kept running into people with similar allergies and frustrations, I made a decision: I quit my career and moved to Paris to learn the techniques of baking. I would then apply this basis to what I read in my free time about the different ingredients I could eat. Then one day while at the english bookstore in Paris, I was perusing the cooking section and picked up this book just based on it's beautiful cover. You can imagine my excitement when I found it catered to my diet!!
In a few weeks I have tried nearly every recipe. Finally simple-to-make, yet impressive desserts that everyone can enjoy, and I am not embarassed to share! And the best part is that people don't suspect they are gluten, soy, and dairy free. ------ Most of the people I know here in Paris are either fellow cuisine & pastry students, chefs, or food afficionados. So my panel of judges is quite hard to please. You can trust that they know great food...
But on behalf of those of us with allergies, I think I can say thank goodness for people like Ariana....it's not just about making wonderfully delicious desserts - it's also about making us feel normal again.
Now if only there was a similar book on cuisine...
