People with incurable digestive problems have been helped by the specific carbohydrate diet (SCD), which restricts the use of complex carbohydrates and eliminates refined sugar, grains and starch without compromising taste. Cooking for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet is a very comprehensive cookbook on the topic and has over 100 recipes that will satisfy an entire family and not just those members who are affected.

I have no digestive problems but enjoyed everything I made. With recipes such as Almond Flour Waffles, French Onion Soup, Tomato Bruschetta, Ragu Bolognese, and French Vanilla Ice Cream it’s easy to forget it’s a diet of any kind.

The cookbook starts off my explaining what the SCD is, then lists useful kitchen tools and typical items needed in your pantry before introducing you to some basic recipes to make your own almond milk, yogurt, broth and more. These recipes are also used throughout the cookbook which is great for those who prefer to make these ingredients from scratch or to ensure the ingredients are SCD-approved.
