Having to follow a gluten-free diet can be a daunting prospect for children and young adults – they feel isolated at a time when their friends are enjoying everything from bread, pizza and pasta.
Based on recipes created for the author’s own daughter, The Gluten-free Cookbook for Kids includes over 100 recipes from crispy chicken nuggets and quick pizza to birthday cupcakes and peanut butter cookies.

Review
This is such a great little book. Easy to make recipies that really are tasty and perfect for kids……just like the title says.
I own a lot of gluten free receipe books and usually can pick one or two ideas from each to tempt my son with but the majority of those other cook-books (as good as some of them may be) focus on dinner party menu’s for those with gluten intolerance and consist of meals and dishes that wouldn’t look out of place at a soiree catering for guests with a discerning palate. This little gem though, well and truly caters for younger gluten intolerants and covers everything from snacks and nibbles through to parties and complete meals. It also has some nice little tales/snippets that go with some of the recipies, to let you know how they came about, which is interesting.
The BEST thing about this book however, is that although it’s brilliant for the gluten intolerant in your family it also works as a general child friendly cookbook that everyone can benefit from, even those in the family that can tolerate gluten will find little to object to with these dishes. It’s impossible to tell that the finished recipies cater to a dietary requirement, it all just tastes and looks like good home-made food. The recipies are healthy, tasty, fun, easy AND gluten free. It’s brilliant.
Even if you’re just looking for a great cookbook for kids menu’s I’d recommend this one, it’s filled with yummy stuff.
