Every Last Bite: A Deliciously Clean Approach to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet with Over 150 Grain-Free, Dairy-Free & Allergy-Friendly Recipes

Just received this book and am amazed at the number and variety of recipes - the book is 350 pages - and organization! I found the author after trying one of her recipes on Pinterest, which became a family favorite. I went on her blog and found lots of others I wanted to try, and gambled on buying the book. And this might just be my new favorite cook book ever! Where have you been, and why haven’t I heard of you before? I had been searching for Paleo recipes because my toddler has bad wheat and dairy allergies and Paleo usually satisfies the requirements. I’ve been buying and returning a lot of Paleo cook books, for one read or another. if this book was tagged for Paleo it would be a LOT more popular for sure. But back to the book. It has recipes for sauces, appetizers, mains and sides AND baked goods. Delicious comfort meals with flavors from around the world. It also has recipe indexes, with pictures, for which ones freeze well, as well as the overall one. There’s also an index for diet and allergens! Whaaaat? The freezer index is especially useful to me since I am a busy mom trying to serve my family healthy AND delicious meals, without giving my son an anaphylaxis. I mean THANK YOU for making my life easier! I am so happy I can almost cry. I am going to freeze, so, many, meals! Sometimes it pays to do research. Sometimes buying and trying that one more thing on Amazon after returning the last dud really pays off. I cannot say enough about this book. Thank you thank you, Ms. Sturdy!!!

I really like the recipes in this cookbook. They are fun and delicious and work great with my diet.

I would give this cookbook 10 stars. I’m loving the recipes, the layout, the pictures. Everything I have made has been delicious. They are simple uncomplicated recipes, but so yummy you feel fancy. Easy enough for weeknight meals but delicious enough for a weekend dinner with friends! I plan to buy for my friends that are moms. We eat grain free but not dairy free so easy to augment. Every recipe has a picture, which makes it fun to meal plan! Thank you Carmen! Fantastic cookbook! ❤️😍

This book is what I’ve always wanted cook books to have - picture of every recipe, recipe index in pictures, delicious, healthy, easy, quick recipes with ingredients that most of us have on hand, especially people who did Whole30. My meal prepping is now much more exiting,delicious and healthy! Quality of the book it self is amazing. Thick pages with bright pictures. Text is easy to read. Recipes are marked with special diet they compliant with and what alterations you can do to make it compliant for any other special diet. And it has index of special diets and allergens for each recipe. Would highly recommend this book!

I bought this after an awful flare. I thought that diet could fix my UC. I had followed the diet for almost a year, but needed more flavor. Unfortunately the diet did not fix my UC, but the recipes were delicious and gave me a variety of new meals options. I'm glad I added this to my collection.

Purchased this cookbook when my son was diagnosed with Crohn’s to support the SCD. Turns out the recipes are delish and straightforward for the whole family!

Highly recommend this book for anyone who is new to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. SCD was recommended by my daughter’s pediatric GI doctor and I had never heard of it. We’ve only had this book for 2 weeks and already used at least a dozen of the recipes - it’s been my favorite resource of all the ones I’ve found. All the recipes are well written and delicious. I’m a competent cook, but the author also includes plenty of hints and tips to help newer cooks have success with the recipes. Everyone in the family can enjoy these foods - they’re not “too weird”, which helps when you’re cooking one special diet in a large family. Other times, I use the author’s flavorings across multiple versions, such as the other night when I made Spicy [Cauliflower] Rice and Celery Root Tortillas for my SCD child, and “spicy brown rice” with corn tortillas for the rest of the family, but the same SCD fillings for everyone. Lastly, experiencing how Carmen uses SCD ingredients is helping me adapt other family favorites recipes to be “SCD legal”. The first week on SCD felt completely overwhelming. The bright prose and photos in this book was a little gift of, “You can do this: it’s going to be ok.” If you have a new diagnosis in the family, gift yourself with this recipe book.

I make at least one dish a week from this amazing cook book…And I don’t even like to cook! Such great variety and easy to follow. Highly recommend!

This is one of my favourite books and I frequently plan the weekly meals from it. Bit too many ingredients but so tasty and you would never know they are SCD. In face I cooked a three course meal for friends without any complex carbs or lactose or sugar and they loved it. Highly recommend.

Very easy recipes to follow , LOTS of variety in recipes and most ingredients I’d say are easy to find . I love this cook books down to earth approach on which materials and appliances needed to cook no need for expensive gadgets either.

After cooking many recipes from Carmens blog I was very excited about this cookbook and she did not disappoint!!! I’ve had it for about a month now and have cooked about 10 or more of the recipes, all of which have been so tasty!!! So many unique healthy recipes, lots of substitution options for many different diet types. Love all the little tips throughout the book and the photo index is amazing!!! It also has the recipe for the most amazing grain free banana nut muffins I’ve ever had (photo attached!) A must buy!!!!

I live in the UK, so just to point out that the recipes use US cup measurements however you can either convert to grams or just buy Cup measures from Lakeland/ Amazon. The book is awesome... Great photos and so far every recipe I have made has turned out really well and super tasty too!

I absolutely love this book! I have been following Carmens account for a long time on Instagram and was so excited she created a cook book with all her tasty and incredible recipes!!
