I just got my own copy of a newly released book called =Feeding Your
Allergic Child=, by Elisa Meyer (First Printing: March 1997, St.
Martin's Griffin; list price: $11.95US/$16.50Can). On the cover it says:
"Happy Food for Healthy Kids. 75 proven recipes free of wheat, dairy,
corn and eggs for the millions of miserable children (and their parents)
suffering from food allergies."

Written in a light and entertaining style, with a gentle introduction to
food allergies, and elimination diets, and including a parental pep talk
about facing the realities of cooking from whole ingredients, it also
takes you through some of the basic ingredients you'll need ("Our Motto:
'We shop for ingredients not supper. We =make= supper.'") plus there's a
rundown of helpful kitchen supplies and equipment.

Out of the 75 recipes, I counted only 8 that would not be suitable,
straight up, for the celiac diet. Most of these had oats or oat flour in
them (which you could probably convert using safe cereal flakes or
flours) or her granola which uses oats (you could use Bette Hagman's
granola recipe, or your own).

Most of the food is kid-oriented and includes such standards as Fruit
Shakes, "Tuna Hold de Mayo," Meatloaf, Stuffed Cabbage, Vegetarian
Stuffed Cabbage, Vegetarian Chili, Roast Chicken, Stuffing, and
"Broccoli Trees." Some of the more unusual-sounding fun food includes,
"Small Coke" (no corn syrup), Hot Toddy, Fruit Soup, "Fish They'll Eat,"
Vegetable Latkes, Vegetable Kugel, Kishkes (guts?), Honey Carrots,
Barbecued Vegetables, Sweet Potato Chips (made from Sweet Potatoes, of
course), Ices (popsicle substitutes), Almond Lace Cookies, "Ballies,"
Coconut-Almond Muffins, Fruit Bars, Coconut-Almond Cake, Almond Cereal,
and even Ketchup!

More standard recipes: three kinds of soup stock, various salad
dressings, meat dishes, potato salad, rice salad, almond butter, and
some fruit purees used instead of eggs in various recipes.

The focus of all these recipes seems to be on *simple* and
*quick-to-prepare* foods that are healthy and pleasing to a kid's
palette.

I'm looking forward to trying these out; they look pretty fool-proof.
