What You Need To Know About Allergens And How To Cook Without Them
Do you know what the top 9 allergens are? Do you know the "new kid on the block" on the list? Did you know kids can grow out of allergies? Do you know which ones they tend to grow out of and which ones will probably stay with them for life?
Elizabeth Pecoraro joins the TYT show to discuss living with allergens, what people should know about how to live with them and how to cook without them. Her new cookbook is called The Allergy-Friendly Cookbook, available now and features 60 delicious recipes, all without the top 9 allergens.
Elizabeth is a New York-based mom of two children with allergies. She shares her stories of how they discovered her kids' allergies, what they did about them and how she learned how to cook healthy foods for them and finally, how she decided to share them through her cookbook.
Elizabeth is also a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). Currently, Elizabeth owns a private practice, Eating Healthy 4 Life, LLC, in Westchester, NY where she sees patients (adults and children), both with and without food allergies. Elizabeth received her Bachelor’s Degree in Business from Binghamton University and her Master’s Degree in Nutrition and Physiology from Columbia University.
