SCD cookbooks

[Guest guest]

I'm getting ready to start my whole family on SCD and am looking for a good

cookbook. I

enjoy cooking but wouldn't consider myself a gourmet cook. We're an average

family and the

kids aren't picky eaters but I'm looking for something with solid, simple

recipes.

Thanks in advance,

I LOVE Lucy's Cookbook. Available from http://www.lucyskitchenshop.com

Everything I've tried so far has been fantasticly yummy and simple to

make! And there are plenty of recipes that don't require nut flour

(which makes it great for those of us in the intro and early stages or

with nut allergies). I would say the recipes are just what you are

looking for, " solid and simple. "

I have Grain Free Gourmet also, but the recipes seem a little fussier

and there are many more of them that require nut flours and tons of

desserts that we can't make because we can't tolerate honey. :-( Maybe

this cookbook will be more useful to us once we are more advanced on SCD.

I am looking at buying SCD with taste and Tradition and Eat Well to

Feel Well available at digestivewellness.com. They both look pretty

good, although the later seems a little more gourmet oriented.

Also have you looked at the recipe section at pecanbread.com? There is

some great stuff there too!

I see you have some advice on the cook books already. I would also suggest

the recipes on scdrecipes.com. I love the cranberry pork roast! In

addition, I am able to adapt many of the recipes on the foodnetwork site to

SCD compliant ones.

I see you mentioning cookbooks. Do you know any SCD cookbooks that

would be good for my son- him being highly sensitive to sal's, and

following the Feingold diet also? I've spent so much money already

and can't keep buying in hopes that it will be usable. I would have

to get ideas and build up to SCD. I need a month menu in place

before I could start. I will have to prepare adequately so I could

do it and succeed.

Thanks for everything!

Hi Bonita. So far I haven't had too much trouble with my Lucy's

Cookbook and sals. I've excluded a few recipes that are tomato sauce

based and the ones that are almond flour based, but most everything

else can easily be adapted. If a recipe calls for a high sal fruit/veg

or spice, it can easily just be omitted from the recipe in most cases.

Often substitutions work out well too. For example, I've used chicken

broth in place of tomato juice in some of the recipes.

I would recommend looking around at the recipes at pecanbread.com and

at scdrecipe.com. They are free and offer plenty of solutions to menu

planning. I particularly love the ones at pecanbread.com because they

are really kid geared. There are also some recipes in the Breaking the

Vicious Cycle book. If you don't have that already, I highly recommend

it. It would be hard to really understand this diet without that book.

Once you get past the intro diet and have gotten a feel for some of

the free SCD recipes and how you are able to use and adapt them to

meet your needs, then maybe you can feel good about spending money on

a cookbook.

Also read through all the sections on the http://www.pecanbread.com

before starting. There are so many helpful tips and information on

that site. It will definitely help get you prepared to do this.

Good luck! You can do this! It is so worth it.
