'...food allergies have become increasingly common. The authors of Yum! share their considerable knowledge and help you work out the right things to do.' PROFESSOR ANDREW KEMP
From The Children's Hospital at Westmead's expert team comes Australia's first child-focused allergy cookbook. With one in 20 Australian children now having a food allergy – and that number on the rise – this book provides essential information for their families and carers, including:
- What is a food allergy? – the facts
- Practical tips for looking after a child with an allergy – for every age and stage (from babies to teens)
- Shopping for a child with an allergy – general nutrition and which foods to avoid
- Preventing cross-contamination when preparing and serving food at home
- Eating out and party strategies – advice about eating away from home and travelling
- 100 easy-to-follow, healthy and nutritionally-balanced recipes for every meal of the day that exclude all the major allergens – cow's milk/dairy, egg, peanut, tree nut, soy and wheat – with easy ways to reintroduce excluded foods for other children in the family
The definitive book for making simple, healthy meals for children with allergies and the whole family.
