This "classic" cookbook’s third edition (1997) includes more than 450 recipes
for the PKU diet, plus many practical tips for managing the diet. It is as
useful today as it was in 1989 when it was first published, and remains a
family favorite.
Much more than a cookbook, Low Protein Cookery for Phenylketonuria (PKU)
is a practical and easy-to-use guide for those who must maintain a
protein-restricted diet for treatment of PKU or similar inherited diseases of
protein metabolism. This third edition of Low Protein Cookery for PKU appeared
exactly twenty years after the original 1977 publication and includes the
450-plus recipes and the hints from the 1988 second edition that were used and
enjoyed by families for nearly a decade.
Low Protein Cookery for PKU offers recipes that appeal to a wide range
of ages, suit a wide range of individual diet requirements, and facilitate
integration of the diet into normal family eating routines. Many of the recipes
are suitable for the entire family; others include instructions for adapting
the recipe to suit the needs of family members not on the diet, or are
accompanied by recipes for the preparation of similar non-diet items. The
recipes provide gram weights when appropriate, for greater accuracy in
preparing the recipes and in maintaining the diet.
