Wheat Free Cook or The Ups and downs of Raising a Bipolar Child

Wheat-Free Cook: Gluten-Free Recipes for Everyone

Author: Jacqueline Mallorca

The Wheat–Free Cook is the definitive cookbook on living and eating well without wheat. Veteran food writer Jacqueline Mallorca outlines the differences between wheat allergies and celiac disease, provides lists of resources and a guide to gluten–free grains, and offers tip on how and where to shop for gluten–free ingredients. On top of that, Jacqueline offers recipes for quick, modern gluten–free meals that are sure to appeal to the health–conscious cook, whether gluten–sensitive or not––after all, it's just as easy to thicken a comforting stew with rice four or cornstarch as it is with all–purpose flour, and sautéed chicken breasts taste much better when coated with a mixture of ground hazelnuts and Parmesan than stale breadcrumbs. All the formerly off limits favorites are here, from breakfast treats such as pancakes and muffins, to comforting pasta dishes like macaroni and cheese, and decadent desserts including cookies, cakes, tarts, and pies. With The Wheat–Free Cook, Jacqueline Mallorca proves that there is a world beyond wheat.

The Ups and downs of Raising a Bipolar Child: A Survival Guide for Parents

Author: Judith Lederman

HELP IS HERE

Bipolar disorder has recently been identified as one of the most misunderstood and underdiagnosed conditions affecting children -- and it is dramatically on the rise. The Ups and Downs of Raising a Bipolar Child gives parents the sound advice and expert information they need to cope with this challenging diagnosis, and shows how to provide essential care and support for a bipolar child as well as for the rest of the family.

In the last decade, increasing numbers of children and adolescents have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder (manic depression). Though this disorder was previously thought not to occur before young adulthood, it is now acknowledged to be relatively common and often misdiagnosed. Life with bipolar children can be harrowing, as they can rapidly cycle from uncontrollable exuberance to suicidal depression. This book, written by the parent of a bipolar child with the assistance of a psychiatrist, offers concrete tips on how to handle difficult situations, such as what to tell siblings, dealing with the distress caused by the necessary blood tests, and coping with teens who get into legal trouble. Details about diagnosis, medication, and treatment are briefly covered, but a better source for that information is Demitri and Janice Papolos's The Bipolar Child, which should be in all public libraries. Lederman and Fink's title is not as comprehensive but is also a good purchase for public libraries.-Mary Ann Hughes, Neill P.L., Pullman, WA Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
