My children, Samuel and Emily are the reason that I began the Allergy-Safe journey.
Eight foods cause 90% of allergy problems: nuts, eggs, milk, soy, sesame seeds, wheat, fish and shellfish. A busy mum with two children who have food allergies, Suzanna Paxton has to avoid seven of those foods. Determined to cook one delicious meal for the whole family to enjoy , Suzanna started collecting suitable recipes. Allergy-Safe Family Food is the result. ...
Food allergies affect one in 20 children and one in 100 adults. (Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy, 2008) The incidence of food allergy continues to rise. The most severe allergic reaction is called anaphylaxis, or an anaphylactic response which can be life-threatening!
Even if your child doesn′t have an allergy‚ this book is a must for preparing food for play dates‚ parties or sleepovers. Recipes include everyone′s favourites like Shepherd′s Pie‚ Chicken Nuggets and Chocolate Fudge Slice plus innovative dishes such as Soda Bread Pizza Bases and Quick Fizzy Scones using lemonade.
The suggestions offered here for Allergy-Safe Family Food can be used for childcare, kindergarten or preschool, school, play dates, family outings or picnics. Remember, many of the recipes found earlier in this book are great for the lunchbox as well!
The key to managing any food allergy is avoiding the food plus all food products that contain even a small part of that allergy food. The Allergy-Safe Family Food guide provides information about alternative names for various foods and lists the food products they may be included in.
If you are adapting to an allergy-safe lifestyle, this shopping guide is for you. The Allergy-Safe Family Food shopping guide will assist to save you time when shopping, as there are so many product choices available.
