Cooking for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet: Over 100 Easy, Healthy, and Delicious Recipes that are Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free, and Grain-Free Paperback – April 23, 2013

This is a wonderful book, great recipes! My ONLY complaint is the temperatures are a little high for almond flour. I've been on SCD for 8 years and cooking with nut flours you need a longer cook time and a lower temperature. (Nut flours are expensive so you don't want burnt cookies/bread!!) For example, the "oatmeal" cookies should be cooked between 320/330 for about 13-15 min. Keep an eye on your baked goods when they're in the oven. It's not as forgiving as regular flour. Also, if you have crohns or colitis this diet is truly a lifesaver! As someone who had a complete colectomy due to crohns (a completely unnecessary procedure once I learned about the importance of diet) this diet is a miracle. (My jpouch was starting to fail so I had to do something because I had given up on doctors) It takes awhile to kick in (hey you've probably been eating poorly for years!) but once it does the difference is amazing. Happy cooking and blessed health to all!

Practical recipes and guidance whereas some of this cookbooks for SCD are not. At least this one does't rely on difficult to source ingredients to fulfill most of the recipes with the exception of DRY CURD Cheese or Farmer's Cheese which is not as easy to make as it sounds and near impossible if not impossible to purchase locally in most USA municipalities, including ours, from what I have read online. If you do find it, it is a small fortune, thus putting it out of reach of most households.

I am on the SCD diet after much suffering from ulcerative colitis. This book is filled with delicious recipes for those who want to fight this disease through food and for anyone who wants to live a healthier lifestyle. I find the recipes to be simple enough for me to make- other cookbooks have such complicated methods that just are not practical for me to undertake. AND they are simply delicious! I am so grateful to the author for sharing all she has learned about this diet AND for giving me HOPE that I can enjoy food and get healthy at the same time!!

The book was recommended by a friend but I am not sure why. You can imagine the disappointment when there was NO contents information for recipes. Honey was used in a number of recipes, which while a good food, is very high in carbs - something I was trying to limit. The impression given is that this is a healthy diet - maybe. One has to wonder if NO 'ingredient' information whatsoever is given, how does one know that to be true. I would chose a different alternative that actually gives the purchaser the information they should have to make judgements on whether it is a recipe that meets their needs. This book will be donated to the library sale.

This book, with its artful, full-color photos of the recipes, convinced me after much foot-dragging that I could try the SCD. I was happy to see recipes for bread and crackers and other familiar items that even a carb-lover like myself could look forward to. I also found the simple charts of which foods are allowed very helpful, as well as the detailed instructions for everyday items such as nut milks and butters.The main drawback of this book is that it seems to be subtly less strict on what is allowed/not allowed compared to the original book on SCD, Breaking the Vicious Cycle. I've noticed that Kerwien's book allows canned vegetables, as well as smaller things like garlic powder and seed butters, that seem to be frowned upon by BTVC. As someone who is just starting out on the SCD and trying to follow it to the letter, this has been a bit of an annoyance. Otherwise, I have really enjoyed this book.

Tragically and inexplicably, this cookbook sat on my shelf for over 2 1/2 years before I attempted any of the recipes. Two of the author's bread products are the closest thing to their traditional counterparts that I've found in all my family's years on SCD: the popovers (yes, I said popovers!) and the cinnamon raisin bread. The cinnamon bun muffins are unbelievable! I'm excited to try a few of the savory dishes--we'd been in a bit of a slump from the lack of dietary variety available to us, but this cookbook has renewed some of our joy in eating. Much appreciated!

I've never been much of a chef but I found myself needing to cook everything when I started the SCD diet for stomach issues. The cookbook has a lot of great options, easy to understand and prepare. It's made it so much easier to stay on the plan. Now I just want even more recipes.

Several months ago I was put on the SCD diet for my SIBO. So the first thing I needed to do was to learn to cook for myself and hopefully find recipes that my family would also enjoy. This book had good reviews so I started with this one.I have been so happy with this book. I have tired many recipes in this book and I have truly enjoyed all of her recipes that I have tried so far. My absolutely favorite recipe from her book in her grain free granola. I make a big bath and sprinkle it on yogurt or my salads. I also love her classic marinara, I make a big bath and freeze it in smaller portions. The table or contents categories are: About SCD, Basic Recipes, Small Bites and Snacks, Salads and Soups, Sauces Jams and Dips, Breads, Biscuits and Crepes, Vegetables and mock starches, Poultry Meat and Seafood, Sweet Treats. So as you can see the book has a little bit of everything!You will also find her website amazing: [...]. there it is full of more yummy recipes.[...]
