Here is the cookbook for the person who must adhere to an ulcer diet, but who would still like to enjoy the delights of gourmet cooking and eating. No longer need the ulcer dieter endure the monotony of traditional ulcer-diet cooking. No longer need the one who cooks for an ulcer dieter prepare separate meals for the other members of the family. Everybody can - and will - enjoy these outstanding recipes. For over ten years, Toni Bruyere has met the challenge of evolving exciting menus for a food-conscious French husband with an ulcer. Her friend Sidney Robey, formerly an editorial associate with "Family Circle" magazine, attended Cordon Bleu classes in France. Combining first-hand experience with their knowledge of nutrition and cooking, the two women decided to write a practical and realistic guide to prove that ulcer-diet cooking can be appetizing and imaginative. The authors have developed and tested over 250 recipes covering all menu categories but utilizing only the permitted ulcer-diet foods. They offer concrete suggestions about special cooking equipment and ways in which cooking techniques can be altered to meet the demands of ulcer dieting. Their book has won the endorsement of two physicians, who also have contributed valuable introductory material about the ulcer patient and the general nature of ulcers. The ulcer dieter may have to give up spices, but there is no necessity to forgo variety. With this book at hand, anyone "with an ulcer in the house" can look forward to meals that will appease the most delicate stomach, please the most discriminating gourmet, and appeal to the entire family.
