Editorial Review: There are over 28 million people in the United States who suffer from migraine headaches, and there are shockingly few resources available to help them alleviate their pain. While there is still no cure for the migraine headache, research has proven that migraines do have physical causes; triggers for many sufferers include diet, stress, menstruation, and environmental changes. In The Migraine Cookbook, Michele Sharp brings together a wide range of carefully selected recipes—from appetizers and main dishes to comfort-food favorites—each complete with information about the trigger-free quality of the recipe, kitchen pointers for preparation, and cooking and serving tips. With over 100 recipes, eight pages of color photos, and sections that address the specifics of this disorder and provide medical information and resource materials, The Migraine Cookbook will prove to be an indispensable resource for every migraine sufferer.

true gourmet food for migraneurs, 2008-03-23
Easy to follow and elegant recipes that taste good. They do use a bit of garlic, which is a huge trigger for me, but all triggers are listed to the side of the recipe.

Okay if you really like to cook, 2007-01-04
There are several recipes but you really have to motivated to cook, grocery shop etc. I want things more simple. I would save my money.

Almost every single recipe contains at least one trigger!, 2006-12-05
I am following the 1-2-3 Migraine Prevention diet (book "Heal your Headache, Buchholz). My entire lifestyle has changed since I have been on this diet (but have cut my migraines almost 80%!)and it has been extremely challenging to cut out all the migraine dietary triggers, so when I found this Migraine Cookbook, I thought it was going to make things a lot easier. However, I don't think I can eat a single recipe in this book! The author even points many (not all) dietary triggers and still continues to use these ingredients in most/nearly all of her recipes. I am quite disappointed and do NOT recommend this book to others trying on this diet.

Disappointed with content, 2004-12-09
Although the recipes in the book look delicious, so many of them have ingredients that are migraine triggers. If you are trying to restrict all suspected triggers as I am, then you don't want to make things with ANY possible triggers in them. There were some good recipes, but there were a lot that I wouldn't use because they had some items considered triggers.
