I’ve cooked so many things from Danielle Walker’s first cookbook, Against All Grain, and they’ve all been so stellar.  If you have her other cookbooks, tell me which recipes are your favorites?  Now that P tolerates everything but dairy and peanuts, I find myself cooking from allergy cookbooks far less often.  That said, Danielle is SCD so many of her recipes are fodmaps friendly so I may be more likely to invest.  Maybe I should rent it from the library first…but if you have an opinion one way or the other please share!
