Jenny McCarthy made this book even more famous when she referenced it extensively in her 2008 bestseller, Louder Than Words:"I knew the months ahead would seem like years while I waited for services, so I decided to educate myself on diet interventions. I ordered a book called Special Diets for Special Kids Two. ... The book came in the mail. Special Diets for Special Kids Two. I couldn't wait to read it and fill my eager heart with more knowledge. I was blown away when I read that mothers often noticed that their autistic children were malnourished because they couldn't absorb nutrients from food. ... Could it really be true? Could diet make that much of an impact? ... I found it completely fascinating and exciting that a diet could help. ... I couldn't believe that the gut could correlate to the brain and that what I fed Evan could have a direct link to his behaviors. But I was inspired and willing to give a diet a shot. ... so I made this my new mission."

A User Guide to the GF/CF Diet for Autism, Asperger Syndrome and AD/HD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am the grandmother of a wonderful 6-year-old boy who has been diagnosed autistic, and I've read both Luke Jackson's books (written at ages 12 and 13) in order to get a more complete understanding of the condition from a "kids eye view".I can only hope that Luke keeps writing for the masses.
This particular book is a treasure.The reader is treated to Luke's keen powers of observation and unflagging sense of humor, as always.We also get a couple of chapters written by his exceptional mother, Jacqui, who modestly denies being a "superwoman."(I beg to differ.) It's Jacqui who convinced me that if a woman in charge of a household of eight persons can master the art of gluten-free cooking, then the rest of us just might be equal to the task, as well.Last but not least, recipes, menus, and tips on acquiring and organizing necessary equipment are provided in thorough, easy-to-understand detail.
Perhaps all that might not sound exciting to the average person, but I can assure you that this is one of the most interesting and absorbing books ever to address the titled topics.Witness:in the middle of a work week, I began reading the book at about 11:30 p.m. and read it straight through.I couldn't put it down until I finished at nearly 3:00 a.m.
Inspired by Luke's work, I have gone on line to look up more information about gluten-free diets and related topics and have found a wealth of valuable information.However, the language I used to talk my grandson's family into attempting this new lifestyle came straight from the book reviewed here.
An invaluable resource.A "must" read for anyone dealing with a person who on "the autism scale."Thank you and bravo, Luke, Jacqui and Marilyn Le Breton.You have made a very necessary contribution with this publication.

Cooking for Two (Healthy Exchanges Cookbook) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love cooking! But I don't like fast food, ready sauces, and dressings or canned food. Of course occasionally I use them but not in every dish. Cooking for Two should be a healthy cookbook but unfortunately its not. Almost every recipe contains `Kraft' sauces or salad dressings and half-and-half should be a common item in your refrigerator. Most of the recipes contained canned vegetable instead of fresh. I can't say that recipes are not good but be honest I haven't cooked one yet and I am cooking every day. If someone looking for a really healthy cook book, which inspires even your husband to look into your kitchen cupboard and experiment a dinner, go for this one: Weight Watchers Great Cooking Every Day. It's not a cooking for two but it is a way healthier and definitely more interesting.

Cooking for David: A Culinary Dialysis Cookbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With my husband's diagnosis of renal failure, dialysis, and future transplant also came the nastiest diet restrictions imaginable. I was losing my mind trying to keep track of sodium, phosphorous, potassium, carbs, and protein while cooking for him - until I got this book. I've been carryiing it around with me constantly since I got it a few weeks ago. It does a much better job of explaining the diet restrictions than any dietician we talked to. The recipes are easy and use mostly common ingredients. My only complaint with the recipes is that there are few grab 'n' go, crock pot, or sack lunch options. (My husband's renal failure hasn't caused our children to slow down - yet, and he's still working.) I wish we had been handed this book the day he left the hospital so we wouldn't have been so terrified of eating for the first few weeks after he was diagnosed. I haven't tried all the recipes yet, but the ones I've made so far are like "real food" and much more satisfying than the white rice and canned peaches we were limiting ourselves to initally. I especially appreciated the breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu options that were given.
