        Dear List Members:

        I would like to recommend a most wonderful cookbook and resource for
those wanting to eat healthy while avoiding gluten and counting
carbohydrates or working with food exchanges.  If you have not already found
this cookbook you might want to put it on your Christmas gift list:

        "Special Diet Solutions, Healthy cooking without wheat, gluten,
dairy, eggs, yeast  or refined sugar"
        by Carol Fenster, Ph.D. (also the author of Wheat-Free Recipes & Menus)

        every recipe includes nutritional data and food exchanges and the
cookbook was specifically designed for people with Diabetes and Celiac Sprue
Disease (among others).

        In addition to the recipes a wonderful Appendices has been included,
full of great tips (such as "baking with Dairy Substitutes" and "Baking with
Alternative Sweetners", etc.). Even friends who don't have Diabetes or
Celiac Disease, but are on special diets due to allergies or other
intolerances, can't imagine how they ever survived without Carol Fenster's
cookbook.

        Sara Jones,
        Houston Celiac Sprue Support Group
