Turtle Soup: Recipes for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet from an SCD Mom

Love this cookbook for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet! It has quite a few yummy recipes that anyone can eat, not just people on the SCD.

I really appreciate the recipes in this book for their ease and simplicity. You don’t have to be a chef or a mad scientist to make SCD compliant foods. I have made things for my family and extended family that were surprisingly yummy! You will not feel deprived at all when eating these foods, and they are tasty!!! The banana muffins are the bomb dot com!

A few good recipes in here for those who follow the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, but nothing particularly noteworthy. It's sort of like "Hey man, dinner was relatively decent tonight, I'm glad we ate that," as opposed to "Ohmygodohmygodohmygod that was amazing and we should TOTALLY eat that again very very soon." But if you're looking for easy, edible things to make that fall under the SCD category, try some Turtle Soup (which is misleading, because there is not a recipe for turtle soup, which was extremely disappointing).

I didn't want to do the SPCDiet. Seriously, I like all the foods that are bad for me. So I looked over the 'dirt' diet (yes, that is what I call it, as in "I can eat dirt and if I am good they will let me have sticks and stones"...much later) Well, these recipes have helped me cope with this diet and I can even think of it as a lifestyle (did I just say that?). Good luck.

My daughter has been on the SCD for two years. She loves the Turtle Soup recipes and uses it daily. I bought this cookbook to prepare food for her, and discovered that many of the recipes are not only delicious but remind me of how my grandmother cooked. I now make SCD meals for myself! I also love the personal aspect that this mom shared in creating this cookbook for her daughter.

This book is amazing for SCD recipes! My 10 year old can pick any recipie and make it almost totally on her own! Easy to use and read, kid friendly recipes. So glad I found this!

I did not see the book because it was a requested gift item by my daughter. She used it for IBS symptoms.

A good recipe book for those following the SCDiet (specific carbohydrate diet) for digestive issues. Thin cookbook so doesn't take up much shelf room, and even though there are no photos, the recipes are easy to read and follow.

I just got this book and made a batch of " Chewy Monster Cookies" (page 48). They are great....good flavour and nice and chewy. The book was worth buying just for the cookie recipe...can't wait to try some of the other recipes. The book also includes a fewother desserts as well as muffins, salads and sauces, soups and main dishes. It is a small book, only 69 pages.

Realistic recipes that follow SCD. The book is all recipes, so if you already understand the diet, this book is perfect. Many recipes include baking or variations of sweets, and I`d prefer more main course ideas, but good to have on hand.
