About the Book

Easy, delicious recipes and helpful tips to inspire confidence in adults who live with life-threatening allergies.

Not everyone outgrows childhood allergies. When Amanda Orlando learned firsthand that the social and emotional impact of anaphylactic reactions affects adults, she started blogging about it, and EverydayAllergenFree.com was born.

Her new cookbook, Everyone’s Welcome, is for people with anaphylactic allergies to any of the “big eight”: peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, eggs, soy, wheat, fish, shellfish. Most of the recipes are free from all eight allergens, with the rest offering alternatives to suit your particular allergy—and you’ll know whether the recipe is coconut-free, gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan.

Enjoy features such as:

  • A comprehensive list of ingredient substitutes
  • How to avoid cross-contamination
  • A list of allergen-free fridge staples
  • Tips for entertaining, eating out, and travelling
  • A list of trusted name brands
  • Snacks to go and sugar-free foods

Including strategies to deal with allergy anxiety, Everyone’s Welcome is an essential resource for friends and family of those living with severe allergies.

It will take determination, courage and persistence to educate others and instill a sense of empathy and community responsibility to protect the tens of millions of North Americans living with food allergy. With no known cause or cure, this invisible disability is here to stay for the foreseeable future. We should feel compelled, not annoyed, to help those living with life-threatening food allergies.”
