Item Description

Free to Eat Sweets!

The number of people with food allergies is skyrocketing, leaving puzzled cooks and anxious parents eager to find recipes for “normal” foods that are both safe and delicious. The Allergen-Free Baker’s Handbook features 100 tried-and-true recipes that are completely free of all ingredients responsible for 90 percent of food allergies, sparing bakers the all-too-common frustration of having to make unsatisfactory substitutions or rework recipes entirely. To make things even easier, energized and empathetic mom Cybele Pascal demystifies alternative foodstuffs and offers an insider’s advice about choosing safe products and sources for buying them. 

As the head baker for a food-allergic family, food writer Pascal shares her most in-demand treats and how to make them work without allergenic ingredients. Her collection includes a delightfully familiar array of sweets and savory goodies that are no longer off-limits, fromGlazed Vanilla SconesCinnamon Rolls, and Lemon-Lime Squares to Chocolate Fudge BrowniesRed Velvet Cake, and every kid’s favorite: Pizza

In addition to being a lifeline for people with food allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances, these entirely vegan recipes are perfect for anyone looking to avoid artificial and refined ingredients, and those interested in baking with healthful new gluten-free flours such as quinoa, sorghum, and amaranth. Best of all, Pascal has fine-tuned each recipe to please the palates of the most exacting critics: her young sons. Lennon and Monte like these tasty treats even better than their traditional counterparts, and you will too!

Cybele Pascal is the award-winning author of The Allergen-Free Baker’s Handbook and The Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook.   She has been a guest on The Martha Stewart Show, the Food Network, the Today show, ABC News, Good Morning America Health, and NPR. She writes a weekly food blog, Food Allergy Recipe Challenge on Martha Stewart’s Whole Living Daily and is the host of Eat Freely with Cybele, an internet based Allergy-Friendly cooking show.  She is also a regular contributor to Living Without; the magazine for people with allergies and food sensitivities, and her allergy-friendly recipes have appeared in many national publications, including Good Housekeeping, Whole Living, and NY Parent. Additionally, she has written regular columns for Oxygen Media, AOL, and Gaiam.com.

 

When her son was diagnosed with severe food allergies in 2002, Cybele learned about allergen-free cooking and made it a priority to transform this cuisine into a delicacy. 

In addition to her culinary work, Cybele is also an award-winning playwright and writer. She holds an MFA from Columbia University and an Artists Diploma in Playwriting from the Juilliard School.

Cybele lives in Los Angeles with her food-allergic family: husband Adam, sons Lennon and Monte, and their dogs Izzie and Carly (who also has food allergies). For more information, visit http://www.cybelepascal.com
