"I just wanted to say thank you. My son has sensory processing disorder
and I've had him on a GFCF diet since about May. The diet has done wonders for
him. I just saw you speak at Vitamin Cottage and bought your Kids' Meals video.
I rushed home and watched the whole thing (as well as several of the Comcast On
Demand segments). My son was so excited about the DVD (he's six) and watched it
with me. At one point he declared you a genius! :) I'm really excited to make
some of your recipes, and especially the nut milks. Your recipes and guidance
are a great help as we travel down this "alternative" path. Thank you so much!
All the best, Stephanie, Ft. Collins, CO P.S. - You have
a wonderful singing voice, too!"
Those meatballs in the Italian DVD are really good! I
wouldnt have known they werent made of meat if you hadnt told me. Abby,
Pasadena, California
I love the fact that most of the dishes on the DVDs are a vegan version
of the Core Weight Watchers diet. I feel like I can eat this food until I am
full and I dont have to worry about counting points. What a great feeling!
Becky, Arcadia, California
The Carbanara sauce is genius. A cream sauce made from raw cashews! Who
would believe it? It tastes great. Ill make it for my next family reunion.
Alan, Denver, Colorado
I love that penguin. He is so erudite! I learned a lot from watching the
DVDs and I am really surprised at the breadth of ingredients that you use so
cleverly. Betty, Boulder, Colorado
Heres an alternative for the tamale filling in the Mexican DVD. Fill
them with sautéed onions, garlic, black beans and corn, seasoned with chili
powder and ground cumin. They taste great with a purchased medium salsa. I
make a lot and freeze them and my Autistic son loves them for lunch. Gina,
Taos, New Mexico
The best resource I have found for a listing of the hidden gluten and
dairy products is a website called http://www.gfcfdiet.com/unacceptable.htm. It
has really helped me learn what to avoid. Bert, Salida, CO
Those brownies are the best. I have never tasted brownies that were
better than these. Doug, Denver, Colorado
The custard is my favorite. It is so rich and thick and tastes just
fantastic. It satisfied my chocolate craving (that day, anyway!). Louise,
Frisco, Colorado
A web site that really helped me is the Celiac Society. There are
chapters all around the United States (and in Europe). The meetings have been
especially helpful in finding local restaurants that cater to restrictive diets.

I love the pinto bean burritos. The tangy tomatillo sauce is just great
and I love the corn side salad with that dish. Mark, Centennial,
Colorado
My favorite dish on the Mexican DVD is the enchiladas. What a great idea
hiding the vegetables in the tofu cheese . These were easy to make, and I
never knew that about corn tortillas. They really taste good with that red
sauce. Elizabeth, Fort Collins, Colorado
I am so happy to have this resource. My husband has GERT and cant eat
dairy or gluten. He has just been miserable and afraid to eat anything. Your
dishes have opened up a new world for him one he thought the door was shut on
forever. Thank you. Erin, Knoxville, TN
Since I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, I have been living on rice
cakes and peanut butter. Im not a cook and eating out is risky because anything
can have gluten. Your cooking instruction has enabled me to start cooking for
myself. The step-by-step approach really is great. I love the food, and the
creativity, and I now I can do more than boil water! Larson, St. Cloud,
MI
I liked the Italian DVD. Those breadsticks are delicious. I changed a
couple of recipes in the Italian DVD and I wanted to share what I did. I used
walnuts instead of pinons in the Pesto and it tasted great. I also added a
little more stock to the Minestrone so it wasnt so much like a stew. I made it
without the okra because I couldnt find any. My family has love all of the
dishes so far! Sherri, New Haven, CT
This is a healthy, clean way to eat. I dont have any restrictions, but I
feel a lot better eating this way. Thanks! Martha, Albuquerque, NM
You are a God-send. Thank you! Steve, Bethesda, MD
I cant eat anywhere anymore. I found out the hairspray I was using
changed their ingredients (and didnt announce it) and it now contains wheat
protein. I have been using it a few months. I have to read every label, I cannot
eat at peoples houses because I am afraid of what they use to cook with. The
reactions are so bad that I feel like I have to stay home all the time. Your
DVDs have shown me how to have fun cooking and how to enjoy foods within my
dietary restrictions. Thank you. Joy Elizabeth, Lexington, KY
I never heard of a lot of the ingredients in your DVD and at first, I was
skeptical. I made the nachos with the ume plums. Wow! I dont miss cheese as
much. Ricky, Casper, Wyoming
Heres a recipe for a quick snack: Bake some of those corn tortillas like
Jean shows in the Mexican DVD. Keep them on hand. Spray them with oil and
sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Norma, Portland, Oregon
Im afraid to eat so many processed foods because of cross contamination.
I just cant believe how many things contain derivatives of dairy and gluten. It
is really scary. I just heard there is a gluten factory in Kansas looking for
more places to put gluten. I feel safe cooking with your instruction. Thank you
for screening the foods and showing us in a very positive way what is OK.
Angela, Overland Park, Kansas
