Forewords As a mother of two children with life-threatening food allergies, I have spent the last fifteen years trying to protect my sons and provide variety and nutritional balance in their diets. Those of you who have picked up this book can surely relate to the challenges we face as parents and providers for food-allergic families. More than ten years ago, A my friend, Anne Thompson, and I started a support group for others like ourselves—Mothers of Children Having Allergies (MOCHA). We felt the need to connect with other families in the Chicago area to share what we were all learning as new initiates to the foreign world of food allergies. It was at one of our MOCHA meetings that I met Kelly Rudnicki and recognized her enthusiasm and commitment to advancing the cause of food allergy research while providing practical day-to-day assistance to those in the trenches. Not only has she worked for many years to protect and provide for her own food-allergic son, but she has also had the inspiration and dedication to share with the rest of us many of her time-tested recipes and suggestions. Is it possible to have too many options when feeding our families their very limited diets? I don’t think so. I salivate as I read this cookbook full of goodies like Apple House Cinnamon Doughnuts, Chocolate Chip Bars, and Lemon Granitas. I especially appreciate that Kelly included specific brands of ingredients and very detailed lists of substitutions. The reader will find this information both helpful and inspiring. While those of us with food-allergic children often try to focus our celebrations around themes other than food, the reality is that food is a vital part of fellowship, memories, and traditions. It is truly a blessing to be able to flip through this cookbook to find just the right recipe to incorporate into our special occasions and to know that not only is the recipe safe but also that the result will be delicious and memorable. As we enjoy these recipes, the possibility of life-threatening danger still exists from even the smallest misstep. It is my passion to find a cure for this disease so
