My name is Grace Cheetham and my story is like many others. I was diagnosed with allergies/intolerances at a young age and I've spent many years following allergy diets. I remember feeling utterly bewildered when I was initially diagnosed – and full of despair. I would look longingly at foods which I couldn't eat, wishing I could dive into the breads, cakes, biscuits, desserts, creamy sauces, pasta, pizzas and pies. At first my diet was very bland and boring, but over the years I've experimented with different types of ingredients and different ways of cooking them, and created recipes. Passionate about good food and allergy-free living, I've set up this website in order to help people who, like me, found themselves stuck in a situation where they didn't know what to do, or how to cope. I've also written a cookbook which has been published in the UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, as well as in Finland and Brazil. I run cookery classes and a blog (glutendairyfree.co.uk) and I very much hope that they things will provide deliciously easy solutions for many, many people.
My book is called The Best Gluten-Free, Wheat-Free and Dairy-Free Recipes (A Cook's Bible: Gluten-Free, Wheat-Free and Dairy-Free Recipes in the US):
