General Travel Information

New guide available for food-allergic travellers

Travellers with food allergies or sensitivities can now obtain a new guide to safer eating while abroad.

Let's Eat Out! Allergy Free Passport provides information on the world of eating out for people who may have concerns about having a bad reaction to a meal.

Let's Eat Out! gives a full range of information about cuisines, ingredients, preparations, what questions to ask and how to ask and communicate about food requirements, order allergy-free menu items and enjoy allergy-free meals anywhere in the world.

The book addresses seven popular cuisines: American, Chinese, French, Indian, Italian, Mexican and Thai, and gives people the tools to enjoy each cuisine anywhere in the world while avoiding 10 of the most prevalent allergens – gluten, peanuts, soy, eggs, dairy, wheat, nuts, corn, fish and shellfish.

It covers more than 175 specific menu items, 200 breakfast and beverage suggestions, 130 snack and light meal ideas, and 50 global airlines. Also included are 300 questions to ask and how to say them in the specific language, plus hundreds of tips from chefs and culinary experts, medical and nutritional experts and long-term sufferers of various food allergies with extensive experience in dining out throughout the world.

Of course, there is a lot more to access than just ramps and roll-in showers. Attitudinal access is just as important as physical access. To that end, this book also contains comments from innkeepers regarding their own attitudes about access. These comments help readers get a real feel for the personality of the individual properties (and the innkeepers).

Let's Eat Out! Allergy Free Passport retails for US$24.95. For purchasing info, visit www.glutenfreepassport.com.
