A Recipe Book That Will Change The Way You Eat

I’ve asked myself many times during my journey to going gluten and dairy free, if I was really covering my nutritional needs. Was I receiving enough Calcium from my diet since avoiding dairy products? Was I receiving a broad spectrum of vitamins from the gluten free grains I ate regularly?

It is so important to eat a variety of food (which I know many new gluten and dairy free seekers fail to do) to prevent nutrient deficiencies from occurring.

Rice can become a big staple in a gluten free diet, as it is substituted in so many processed gluten free snacks like biscuits and cakes. It’s also probably the immediate carbohydrate that you serve for dinner, or maybe lunch. How about rice noodles or rice pasta? It’s an easy, cheap and safe alternative to wheat pasta and spaghetti.

Eating a diet like this can soon become repetitive and before you know it, you’re stuck in your ways not knowing that you may be missing out on vital nutrients that other gluten free grains could provide.

Quinoa, millet and buckwheat are other gluten free grain alternatives that are jam packed full of vitamins, minerals and amino acids which can give you those nutrients your diet is missing. This cookbook will provide you with recipes that show you how to use these nutritious gluten free grains that even your children will love.

It’s Not Just A Cookbook

Alissa and Tom have taken this book one step further by providing:

1. A step by step 28 day elimination and detoxification diet is provided towards the end of the book. It is designed to promote cellular healing and to help you identify any food sensitivities that you may have including gluten, eggs, dairy, soy or corn
2. A schedule for introducing solid foods to infants to prevent food intolerances/allergies from occurring
3. A complete guide to stocking your whole foods pantry

I have bought many recipe books in the past to assist the journey to going gluten and dairy free but often was disappointed with the shockingly, nutritionally low recipes that were recommended.

Alissa and Tom, both qualified with Bachelor and Master Degrees in Health Science are able to understand the need for recipes that are nutritionally dense and able to replace the nutrients that gluten, dairy and egg usually possess with attractive food alternatives.

The recipe book provides an assortment of breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and snack recipes that are so varied you will definitely not get sick of these recipes.
