Thank you so much for what you do. I am writing from south Louisiana and I am wondering if you have any ideas on how to make a King cake that is egg and nut free. I'd also like to do a chocolate chip cookie cake and I am wondering if your chocolate chip cookie recipe can be baked like a cookie cake. Like most everyone, my (6 y/o) little guy would love to have one (or both!) of these treats! Thanks again! Hi Kelly, I love the book and blog! Thank you so much for what you do.

My son is 17 months old and we were told at 12 months through skin testing that he is allergic to milk, eggs, and peanuts, and recently have discovered he cannot have bananas either. I love to bake and cook but I'm having a hard time finding recipes that taste good that he will eat. You wouldn't happen to have a recipe book for regular, every day meals would you? I'm purchasing your baking book and I think that will help ALOT! I just need ideas for quick, easy meals or things I can make lots of and freeze. Please, if you have any advice for me please share. I'm getting sooo frustrated with myself for not being able to provide wholesome, nutritious meals for my baby. Feeling like I'm failing. Thanks for any help :) Hey Kelly, I am new to the food allergy community.

I have a wheat,dairy,egg peanut treenut seed allergic child....so i still have to play around with your recipes ..but so far so good.

Our two-year-old son is allergic to peanut, tree nut, egg, fish, shellfish, and dairy. He also has eosinophillic esophogitis. This Thanksgiving, I made your braided holiday bread, pumpkin bread, and I turned your chocolate chip bar cookie recipe into a chocolate chip cookie pie! My in-laws are us to having certain desserts after their holiday meals, and with your recipes, I was able to deliver the perfect finishing touches to our allergy-safe meal. For the first time in over a year, no one even noticed that everything we served was allergy-free! I can't wait to cook the Christmas meal too, and we have a sense of peace now even in the midst of what is typically a food allergy nightmare. Thank you so much! Our next hurdle might be eliminating wheat and soy, depending on the next round of EE biopsies. If that happens, we might come begging for some help with flour and shortening/margarine substitutions. Happy holidays! I know ours will be! Best wishes, Laura, Mike, and Sean Sterling, MA Kelly, your cookbook saved me this holiday!

I want to make your Spiced Applesauce Bars for my son's Bar Mitzvah weekend this coming weekend, but need to make them in the beginning of this week. Do they freeze well? I have made them before, but served them that day and the next.. and then they were gone! Thanks, Cheryl Hi Kelly,

My 3 yr old has a halloween party at school next week and I was told to bring him in his own treats. Any suggestions on a cute treat I can make? Wanted to bring in something that had a halloween flair to it since all the other kids will be eating witch cupcakes, munchkins, etc. Btw...for his bday party at school last week the treat he wanted to take in & share w/ the class were your banana choc chip muffins...all the kids loved them!

I'm seventeen, I just recently started a blog of my own about my experiences living with peanut allergies and with the allergen alert dog my parents got for me four years ago. I think I have a lot to say, but I feel like I'm talking to a wall. Is anyone ever going to read my blog? Did you feel the same way at first? How did you get so well-known? It's www.sniffingpoodle.blogspot.com if you had any advice you could offer me. Hey, hi.

My son, Naren, has the same FAs (dairy, all nuts and eggs) as your son and it's given me the tools to make him feel more inclusive in so many events. Naren's 6th b-day is coming up and I wanted to make him a Cars themed cake. Do you have any suggestions for a fondant type allergy friendly recipe? Thanks again for all you do!

I just love your fabulous cook book!!! I found out 2 years ago that my daughter has multiple food allergies and I was so discouraged with every recipe I tried. Nothing tasted good!! This book has been amazing! There isn't one recipe so far that has disappointed me! Everyone in my family has enjoyed your treats! I can't even tell you how happy it makes me to be able to give my daughter a cookie or treat and know that it tastes just as good as every one of her friends! Thank you!!!

My ds1 is also allergic to soy. I am encouraged by the number of other comments from mothers with children who are also allergic to soy. Thanks for the suggestions for replacements. I find most gluten, diary and egg free products have either soy or potato in them, both of which he is allergic to. I have finally managed to find an egg replacer made from Tapioca, which he can have. I have yet to try coconut as he is allergic to other nuts, though someone said coconut wasn't a nut? Thanks for all your hard work in making this book and sharing it with us. Sheryl Hi Kelly, I just got your book today and am so excited to read it. My ds1 is also allergic to soy.

I checked your book out from the library after being continually discouraged. We found out my daughter, age 7, is allergic to all milk products and eggs about a three months ago. Since then I have tried to substitute and research products to use in my regular baking recipes. All of the other recipes and cook books call for things I've never heard of or are complicated. Your approach to baking allergy free with regular ingredients is something I can feed my whole family. Thank you!!! Kelly, Thank you so much!

I have three boys and my youngest has food allergies. He finished his first year of preschool today. It is amazing how many events at school are centered around food - food that my boy can not eat! (Also amazing is that I NEVER thought about it before I had a child with food allergies!) I was blessed to have a class that allowed me to bring all the treats for every party this year. I used your book for many recipe ideas! The children loved everything I brought in! Kind regards, Joanne Ceffalio Kelly,

You can totally substitute regular dairy for my milks, butters, etc. The tofu acts as a great binder in the cheesecake, so I don't really have a substitute that I am satisfied with.
