not up to date with modern cuisine:
I ordered the book hoping to find some good recipes to use with my candida diet, which has been working really well. I tend not to cook on this diet since most recipes contain some ingredients that are not allowed. The reviews were favorable so I ordered the book.

The Candida Control Cookbook:What you Should Know and What You Should Eat to Manage Yeast Infections:
This book is informative and gives a good idea of what to eat and not to eat. I appreciate the many recipes showing a variety of ways to prepare the limited foods we are allowed to eat during the die off period.
Informative Cookbook:
This is a very informative cookbook. The recipes are the best I have found (and this is the third cookbook I have purchased). I wish I had known about using 100% pure vegetable glycerine as a sweetener months ago! Her recipes make you feel like you are eating "real" food again.
Continuing my story Managing my yeast infection:
It has now been 3 months on the Candida Control Diet and taking Lamisil --- I have my life back! Thank you Gail Burton for writing a cookbook that is realistic and good. It has been my bible over the course of this. I am purchasing CANDIDA, The Silent Epidemic and hope it will help me with figuring out what to do to maintain my healthy lifestyle. 3 CHEERS! for this cookbook!
