Small animal vet practicing in the UK.
Probably going to be a bit of an unpopular post but I'm going to leave this link here. In short, there are absolutely zero benefits to feeding raw, and can lead to dietary deficiencies.
In addition, there was a study done looking at bacteria in commercially available raw foods, and around 50% of them contained bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter, all of which can become quite serious if not treated urgently and are also transmissible to humans.
If you still really want to feed home cooked food, then I'd recommend this book. It's aimed at vets and veterinary nutritionists, so has a lot of detail in it about macro/micronutrients and various requirements in common diseases, but it does have some good recipes in it for people who choose to make their own. I think it's chapter six (I have the older edition).
Great book for the coffee table.
The Sacred Heart: An Atlas of the Body Seen Through Invasive Surgery
It seems your dog has food allergies and you have found ingredients to which he does not react. Good job! Now the important thing is to feed a complete and balanced diet. I would recommend going to petdiets.com. This site is run by Dr. Rebecca Remillard, who (literally) wrote the book on small animal nutrition. You give her all the details of your dog's needs and she will send you a recipe for your dog that will meet all of his nutritional needs. It costs $25. You can prepare these diets at home and freeze portions.

Testing for food allergies is more of a process of elimination with feeding trial diets using novel proteins. Here is the text I was thinking of that is pretty damn comprehensive:

I'd recommend looking up the book The Sacred Heart: The Body Seen Through Invasive Surgery. Great pictures in there. Beautifully shot too.

Hey all! It's kinda crazy... but the book is live and available on Amazon. You can get it here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1546625984
To be honest, I'm still working out how to do promotions. But the book will be worth it and I hope you'll pick yourself up a copy. I may do a separate post, but let's see if this helps.
