I made the carrot cake and my family could not have been happier with the results! Since then, I have tried several more of your recipes and everyone who has tried them has given rave reviews! Your cookbook now sits front and center on my shelf and I know that as my daughter grows it will be so much easier to let her be a part of so many activities that involve food and cooking. Thank you too for all of the brand recommendations. It has made it so much easier to search the stores here for specific brands, rather than try and ask vague questions like, "Do you have any dairy free butter?" and get those blanks stares in reply. As I finish off this last piece of chocolate banana bread, I'm getting ready to try those oatmeal fudge bars. Yum!

After learning that our baby has several pretty high food allergies, a friend surprised us with this book. Thank you so much for creating it! I was so excited to find so many wonderful recipes, and was especially excited about the cake recipes. We got the book just in time for our daughter's first birthday, so I am thrilled that I can now make a tried and true homemade birthday cake for her! The banana bread was soooo good! Even when I made it with mostly whole wheat flour it turned out fantastic. Words really can't express how much we appreciate the time, creativity and effort that went into making this cookbook, so I will just say, thank you so much, once again. Christy Hi Kelly!

I have 2 children with multiple food allergies and have spent a not-so-small fortune on allergy cookbooks. It had been awhile since I last checked the internet for new cookbooks/website, but it was well worth the time because I found your website. I have been reading all the comments and noticed that people are raving about your Not So Peanut Butter Cookies and your Banana Chocolate Chip Snack Cake. Would you please kindly email them to me. Thank you for all your work and recipes. Heidi Hi Kelly,

We found out when he was only 7 months old and since then my husband and I have committed to keeping our house free of those allergens for him.

We are constantly looking for new cookbooks and recipes and I found yours online and so did my father. I told him I was going to order it and next thing i know he bought it and it was delivered to my door step. We made your banana bread over the weekend and it is delicious! i have made one before from a different book but not quite as good as yours :) My son loves it! Thanks again for all that you have done for my family by making your baking book. We are forever grateful. By the way I love your website as well! hey kelly!

I made this today and it is FABULOUS! My son insists on having a piece of each bread, one from my beautiful ornate bread pan and one from my plain bread pan. He insists they taste different! Ok, he is 4, he justs thinks they are different! So much for saving one for later. Thanks Kelly! I made this today and it is FABULOUS!

I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of these wonderful recipes...So far I have tried the Banana Chocolate Chip Snack Cake and the Not so Peanut Butter Cookies...to die for I tell ya and my son just ate them up. My son who just turned 9 has been living his life without a lot of favorites until I came across your blog...don't know how but I am so thankful! Since he was 1, he has tested postive for allergies to Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Dairy, Eggs and Shellfish for food anyway.... and every year we are hopeful he will "grow out" of them but unfortunately, he has not. Thank you for all of your hard work and congrats on your upcoming new one. Hello Kelly…

I successfully substitute with coconut milk all the time - just making sure I use the unsweetened kind. As for coconut oil, I use that as well but more in pie crust/pastry type recipes. It's a little hard to use because well, it's so hard at room temperature. Often times you can end up with small chunks of coconut oil in the dough. Maybe try to slightly soften it before you mix it with the sugar. I really like using it though. Just be warned, sometimes you have a slight coconut taste - which I happen to like P.S. using coconut milk (combination of full fat and reduced fat) makes a great ice cream. I make a pina colada ice cream and a chocolate ice cream this way. In response to Dianne’s question about the coconut oil and milk.

Most of my recipe testers prefer even measuring, so that is why I used 1 c. soy milk per 1 T. vinegar. Also, I tend to bake double batches of everything, or bake another recipe with buttermilk so I save the rest for later. If you prefer exact measurements, measure 3/4 c. soy milk to 3/4 T. vinegar.

Your recipe calls for 3/4 cup dairy-free buttermilk, and the directions say 1 c. of soy milk mixed with 1 T. vinegar. Are you supposed to use the entire 1 cup of soy buttermilk? Or just 3/4 cup? I noticed this in your fabulous cookbook also and wasn't sure if soy buttermilk is so different from milk buttermilk that it needs the extra 1/4 cup. Thanks! Kathleen I have a silly question.
