“Let’s Eat Out! …is a visa of sorts, giving diners with allergies access to a full range of information about major restaurant cuisines, ingredients and preparations. Building their book around the 10 most common food allergies, authors Kim Koeller and Robert La France instruct and anticipate, arming diners with a checklist of menu considerations…Thorough and comprehensive, the book might do well in the hands of operators as well. It gives an important overview of the seriousness of allergies- and how common allergens are in many foods, even those that don’t immediately seem suspect.”
—Jamie Popp, Senior Editor, Restaurants and Institutions Magazine

“A well researched and interesting book allowing the reader to get good background knowledge about the cuisines, the different cultures and the ingredients used. The breakdown of each dish gives the reader the opportunity to see where any hidden allergy foods may be or what questions they need to ask in the restaurant to ensure that their meals are safe to eat.”
—Tariq Z.

“I know that many people and restaurant staff will be benefiting from your book.”
—Lisa A.

“Congratulations and how exciting! I am so glad the industry and public are getting exposure to this beautiful, well written and important book.”
—Paula C.

“We haven’t had Mexican, Chinese, or Italian out in over two years. I thought these types of restaurants were no longer an option for someone with celiac. Thank you!”
—Stacy M.

“Today was my first client lunch out since my dx. I figure if Kim Koeller can eat out 80% of the time, I can do so 10% of the time at least. She even has way more food reactions besides gluten. She listed them all in the book and I'm like what does she eat anyway? But she seems to do fine and prefers non chains too so her book is my 'gluten free bible'. I wish I'd known about this book a month ago....oh well. Guess we're all different which is what makes each of us special.”
—Celiac.com forum participant

“Thank you so much for all of your great work. Dining out with specialized diets is a challenge, to say the least. Your work makes it so much easier.”
—Lorraine B

“I have found your book very useful when eating at restaurants in my area. Thank you.”
—Doris M.

“Thanks so much for writing this book. I am forever grateful! I carry it in my travel case daily, it is a great reference for eating in the city.”
—Roselyn S.

“Your support is a god-send. We hope to have the trip of a lifetime, and are very pleased to know that you had such a pleasant experience with the food in Russia.”
—Phyllis W.

“Never in my wildest dreams did I think as much progress would be made in educating others about our diet. I am sure your book will help restaurants and they need all the help they can get. My sincere congratulations for your hard work and wonderful book.”
—Jane T.

“The book is a delight to read. I especially like the non-English communications provided, since this is an issue when eating in almost any authentic ethnic restaurant. Having a book like this is a valuable addition for not only those of us with dietary issues, but for our friends and families, who are often completely perplexed at how we can go out to eat in certain restaurants and need to totally avoid other places.”
—Mary O.

“You have researched so much about the gluten free diet and eating out. I have enjoyed your book and I am very impressed.”
—Jane T.

“There truly is such a need for books and information like yours, and we are grateful to have your support so we can continue to serve our customers.”
—Emily S.

“Your new book is fascinating. It will help to change the social conscience of our population and significantly impact lives. A young woman once commented that waiters often rolled their eyes because of her diet constraints. She said she’d rather not bother dining out. This is absurd considering over three million Americans suffer from celiac / coeliac disease.”
—Matthew M.

“I would just like to say thank you to Robert and Kim for this brilliant book. This book has been great in teaching me to have the confidence to go out and eat out again without fear of becoming ill.”
—Rachel S.
