It’s here, it’s here, HOT DOG (just kidding–we can’t do beef) it’s HEEEERRREEE! Cookbook launch day is upon us and man has April 30 felt like a long time coming.

I’ve given birth three times (about to do it a 4th time, eeek!), and I’m not sure what has felt longer–growing a human being, or producing a cookbook. Both feel agonizingly long, and both feel as if they’ll never come, as well as the excitement and pride you have once it’s here!

I developed the recipes, wrote every inch of the book and took the photography all in less than six months–while raising three kids. Talk about a whirlwind! (And, before you can say: “how did she do it?” well, my mom literally moved in for a month to take care of my kids so I could make the deadline. Bless her!)  I’ll be showing off recipe pics from the cookbook throughout this post. Get ready to get hungry. 

Let’s get onto all the questions you may have about this soon to be beloved cookbook of yours!

Why Did I write “An Allergy Mom’s Lifesaving Instant Pot Cookbook?

I wrote it for all of the newly diagnosed that have no idea what to feed their family.

I wrote it for the veteran allergy mom who’s sick of all of her recipes.

I wrote it for the busy allergy parent that needs an easy weeknight meal.

I wrote it for those with eosinophilic esophagitis like my oldest son.

I wrote it for those who have to give up foods, but still want crave-worthy foods.

I wrote it for the allergy family that still likes to entertain and wants dishes they’ll be proud to serve to non-allergy friends and family.

I wrote it because I wish I had one like it when we were starting out! I seriously would tear up looking at other mom’s shopping carts full of food while I wandered the grocery store wondering “WHAT IN THE HECK DO I FEED MY FAMILY!???”

I centered it around dinner, because that can be the hardest meal of the day. It’s when everyone is tired, hungry and wants to sit down to a satisfying meal. It’s when usually everyone is home, so you’re having to cook to the lowest common denominator. This will be your new dinner bible!

instant-pot-cookbook-for-food-allergies

What is included in “An Allergy Mom’s Lifesaving Instant Pot Cookbook”?

This cookbook has 60 recipes, all top-8-free (meaning free of: wheat/gluten, dairy, egg, soy, fish, shellfish, peanut and tree nuts). It includes:

  • 25 main dishes
  • 15 side dishes
  • 15 soups
  • 5 desserts

Throughout, I tried to include all of the classics likes a Sunday roast, chili lime tacos (for Taco Tuesday!), comfort foods like Creamy Italian Pasta as well as some meat-free options (hi Quinoa Nachos!) and plenty of variety so you can cook from this again and again.

best-cookbook-to-buy-if-you-have-food-allergies

Are there hard to find ingredients in “An Allergy Mom’s Lifesaving Instant Pot Cookbook”?

I don’t think so! I hate it when you have to special order a food, or when you live in a smaller town that doesn’t have a Whole Foods (like we do now). I tried to stick to regular ingredients, whole foods and easy-to-find things like gluten-free pasta which are even accessible at regular box stores like Wal-Mart. 

an-allergy-moms-lifesaving-instant-pot-cookbook-no-red-meat-chili

Do you have to have an instant pot for this allergy-friendly cookbook?

Yes. At least an electric pressure cooker. It’s OK if it’s off brand. I have two versions of the Instant Pot brand, and have noticed that even among the Instant Pot brand, different models vary. I prefer this model. I find it’s less likely to scorch and is easier to use. 

If you’re an advanced cook, I’m sure you could figure out how to make the recipes into slow cooker versions, but all recipes have only been tested, calibrated and timed according to pressure cooking methods. And, why would you want a roast to take 6-8 hours, when it can be done in one???

best-cookbook-to-buy-if-you-have-EOE

I love it! What can I do to support this cookbook for food allergies?

Please tag me when you make recipes you love from it on social media. Please rate it on Amazon. And please, give a copy to the new allergy mom in your life. I have honestly prayed from the beginning that it would be a tool and a help and would reach all of the people who truly need it. Your word of mouth does so much!

top-8-free-instant-pot-cookbook-by-allergy-awesomeness

What if I don’t have all eight of the top-8-allergies? Can I swap things out?

This is so simple! If you don’t have wheat/gluten allergies, swap out regular pasta. If you can do dairy, go ahead and use regular cream cheese and milk. All of the recipes should be able to withstand you swapping in regular ingredients so you don’t have to purchase things you don’t normally buy.

    Yet again another amazing recipe from your cookbook. I made creamy Italian chicken and pasta. But I just made it in a saucepan on the stovetop and it turned out so delicious. My whole family loved it. Thank you Meg

    Hello,
    I have the hardest allergies…
    Soy, dairy, egg, shellfish, white potato and tomato.
    What do you recommend substituting for the potato and tomato in the recipes?

      Hi Yvette. Those are hard! My cookbook is completely free of soy, dairy, egg and shellfish. If I were you, I’d substitute parsnip or cauliflower for when there are recipes that call for potato in my cookbook. For recipes that call for tomato, I don’t feel there is a good substitute and I would just not make those. I would think there would still be plenty of good recipes for you. Good luck!

    Congrats on your book- can’t imagine writing a book with small children and expecting another!! I would try the Peach Cobbler, because I loved my mother’s when I was a child, but haven’t had one since going GF. Your recipes are always delicious, so I would try that first. After all, who says dessert can’t be the first course? Not I!

When you or your child have that many allergies it seems like you are drowning in a world of “no” it’s good to have recipes that are a definite “yes”. Plus, you help with all odd substitutions we have to learn to make. I might have to go buy an instant pot now, lol. Thank you.

    The Creamy Italian Chicken Pasta sounds amazing. I miss being able to eat stuff like that since my son was diagnosed with EOE.

    Megan you should be so proud of your accomplishments! I’m excited to try the orange chicken since Chinese restaurants a kind of off limits for my allergic family. I got an insta pot for my birthday but haven’t quite mastered it yet. I’m looking for some other well tested crowd pleasers.

    God bless you and your growing family,
