The Autoimmune Protocol Baking Book
Wendi Washington-Hunt
Over 20% of people have an autoimmune condition. Many have found relief on the autoimmune protocol diet (AIP). However, that comes at the cost of sacrificing the treats they love. What’s a baker to do when standard baking ingredients such as grains, gluten, dairy, sugar, eggs, and nuts are off the table? With The Autoimmune Protocol Baking Book, baked goods are back on the table. All without compromising taste or your health. Readers can have baking and AIP too!
The Autoimmune Protocol Baking Book is a gorgeous cookbook featuring 100 recipes for all things baked from cookies and cake, to bread and biscuits, to crackers, crumbles, and crisps! Written by beloved AIP baking blogger Wendi Washington-Hunt of Wendi’s AIP Kitchen, each recipe is created and tested to be AIP compliant from start to finish . No more trying to adapt recipes that yield iffy results or aren’t fully AIP compliant. Readers can create the treats such as sugar cookies, pumpkin pie, blueberry muffins (and many others!) that they thought were gone forever as well as new sweet and savory favorites.
