What Do I feed My Child?

cbcover.gif (73975 bytes Only one person can truly understand what it is like being a parent of allergic kids - a parent of allergic kids. When gluten, eggs, milk, corn and more are taken out of a family's diet, life for the cook is not easy. The cookbook, "Cooking with Parents of Allergic Children" is a product of our non-profit support group - Parents of Allergic Children - based in Richmond, VA.  Each recipe is provided by a member of the group. Recipes range from Barley Oat Cookies to Tuna Burgers to Gluten Free Biscuits. Go to our order form to order your book today.  It is envisioned that recipes will eventually be available on this site.
