Recipe book for babies with CMP and egg allergy?

My 9-month-old DS is allergic to CMP and egg. He has been on Aptamil Pepti for 3 months and weaning has been slow and cautious, but he is now on 3 solid meals a day.
Annabel Karmel depresses me because all her recipes call for dairy and egg as well as other stuff such as tomato and citrus which I am wary about introducing before he's one.
Can anyone recommend a recipe book or website where I can find allergy-friendly recipes for finger food and/or puree?
Am being rather precious and paranoid about my son's eating but want to make him nice nutritious things....

Search for PigInTheKitchen - it's a great website for DF, GF, EF & nut free too. Just continue to take weaning carefully, keep a diary and try to relax, it will become habit and therefore easier to deal with.

We have similar issues with dairy, egg and soya. DE now 10th months and eating lord but I did find the first few months a nightmare. I like the new baby led weaning cookbook and find many of the recipes more adaptable than annabel Karmel - especially ideas for what to put on toast and porridge bars that we make with oatly and put blueberries on top!

Sorry, but what's CMP?
I live with a coeliac, and have taught a lot of children with allergies and intolerances for years so sympathise. Blow Annabel Karmel. She can't be real, she must be a robot or CGI!

I have a DS who reacted to cows milk when I started him on solids and I'm currently dairy and egg free myself, in an attempt to improve my breast fed DD's eczema. I've found the following two books useful, both are on amazon.
"The Organic Baby and Toddler Cook Book" (by organic they seem to really mean vegan)
"Optimum Nutrition for Babies and Young Children"

hwhite6, thanks for the recommendation of PigInTheKitchen - I'm struggling myself to find things which are gluten, dairy, egg, nut and soya free (!) and that site looks fab. :)

Thanks so much for all these ideas -- will definitely check them out!
