Читать книгу South African cookbook for allergies and food intolerance - Hilda Lategan - Страница 4

It’s natural to want to enjoy food and, for many of us, meals form an important part of our daily routine. When food and food additives are the cause of allergies and food sensitivities and the negative effects from these result in ill health, it is easy to feel confused and despondent about how to choose and prepare suitable foods.

At the request of Tafelberg Publishers, I have selected the best recipes from South African Cookbook for Allergies and Food Intolerance (2004), my previous book on this topic, and have added new information as well as more tried-and-trusted recipes to help people with food-related conditions.

Regardless of the limitations in your diet due to food allergies and sensitivities, in this book you will find recipes for tasty and affordable dishes which are prepared from widely available ingredients. Each recipe, together with its suggested variations, is suitable for a variety of conditions.

The repair and maintenance of a healthy body contributes to a healthier immune system. A balanced diet and meal plan are essential to meet your unique nutritional needs, as well as to manage your specific allergies and sensitivities.

Remember that this book should not take the place of a visit to a registered dietitian. A dietitian who is familiar with your specific condition will provide you with useful advice and will assist you in creating a suitable meal plan.

I trust that this cookbook will contribute to your good health and will help you to create a positive attitude towards formulating a meal plan that takes into account certain food limitations.

Bon appétit!
