Histamine Intolerance The Cookbook: Delicious recipes for people on low histamine diets (Cookbooks)

Hurrah - a low histamine cookbook. Ever since I read Dr Joneja’s excellent Beginner’s Guide to Histamine Intolerance I have been wishing that she had gone on to illustrate her diet suggestions with some recipes – and here they are. Well, not Dr Joneja’s although they come with her blessing – but from Michelle Berriedale-Johnson whose gluten and dairy free recipes I have been using for years.A nice selection of easy to follow and super-tasty recipes ranging from soups to baking. Includes not only a simple introduction and a comprehensive table of what you can and can’t eat, but sneaky ways to enable you to eat chocolate brownies (normally banned on low histamine diets) and give zing to your salads when you can’t use vinegar or lemon juice!Highly recommended.

I bought 4 low histamine cookbooks to see which was best for vegetarians. This one scores in the top/middle - interestingly it says some legumes are allowed and is not anti-flour - which makes things much easier for vegetarians. The lists are based on a mix of SIGHI and the author’s own recommendations. Some of the recipes seem a little odd - not the most appetising sounding combinations but, there’s lots of them to pick from! Will be interested to see how it works compared to the stricter guidelines.

I have used this book to gain understanding of histamine intolerance and to know what foods to avoid. There are a good choice of recipes which have clear instructions. It is very readable and difficult to understand jargon is at a minimum . It is definitely going to help me to find a way of eating which does reduce my histamine sensitivity.

This book contradicts the histamine safe foods that I have read, so sadly of no use too me.

It's OK but could have worked this out for myself
