Cookbook author Cybele Pascal is a working mom with a food-allergic family. Instead of letting an allergy-free lifestyle defeat her, she has risen up to deliciously take on the challenge. She has mastered allergy-free cooking and shares her yummy 30-minute meals in her cookbook Allergy-Free and Easy Cooking. Though her cookbook is free of gluten, wheat, eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, and sesame, it isn't a vegan-only book. However, Pascal offers a vegan recipe section and there are vegan-friendly recipes peppered throughout the book. One of the most common questions for people with a gluten allergy is, "What can I substitute for regular flour?" Pascal answers with her own gluten-free flour mix.
