Useful allergy and cooking resources
My family and I are constantly inspired by creative professional cooks and by family bakers who share their recipes online. In addition, the support, advice, and updates from allergy-focused publications, nonprofit organizations, counselors, and families living with food allergies themselves are invaluable---for peace of mind, solidarity, and balance. Last, but not least, are those health professionals and allergy researchers who try to understand how allergies develop and how to treat, prevent, or even (one day) cure them. |
