With so many children now having a food allergy - and that number on the rise - this book provides essential information for their families and carers. Containing basic advice for anyone trying to manage an allergy, this full-colour handbook includes: the medical facts about allergies and anaphaylaxis; practical tips for caring for a child with an allergy (for every age and stage, from babies to teens); how to shop for a child with an allergy; how to prevent cross-contamination when preparing food at home; eating out and party strategies; 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.
This is the definitive book for making simple, healthy meals for children with allergies and the whole family, written by the Children's Hospital at Westmead's allergy and nutrition experts.
