I was disappointed with this book. Much of the information is outdated, and the recipes just weren't that good. Way too many pre-packaged, store bought stuff which is difficult for IC patients to use. She also uses too many items that most IC patients can't eat. I was really looking for a cookbook with from scratch recipes using only ingredients that are generally considered IC-safe. But this isn't it--since you have to go through each recipe and modify it to take out ingredients, whats the point? I do that... more info
A Taste of the Good Life: A Cookbook for an Interstitial Cystitis Diet:
Bought this book for my wife who suffers from IC, and she loves it. She has suffered from inflamations due to eating some of the wrong foods, but that will be a thing of the past because of the recipes found in this book. As a plus, this book arrived quicker than any book I have purchased from ASmazon.com to date. I ordered it on Friday Dec 26 and it was delivered to my post office on the following Sunday Dec 28. I picked it up on Monday. Thanks.
Disappointing:
After reading an up to date version of Larrian Gilespie,MD You Don't Have to Live with Cystitis, I find this cookbook not up to date(10 years old). I am wheat intolerant and dairy intolerant as well am so many recipes are based on these two ingredients.There are many recipes with nuts as well which Larrian says IC people are not tolerant of so it is not of much use to me.
Easy to use:
Easy to follow, but very plain recipes...but if you are on the IC diet already then you will be used to it and enjoy this book.
