A self-confessed foodie, she has travelled extensively exploring the culinary delights of six continents including many years spent in Europe where she fell in love with the Mediterranean way of eating. She has not let the need to eat gluten free compromise her ability to enjoy cuisine from around the world but instead has used that as inspiration for her latest cookbook Goodness Me it's Gluten Free PASTA. Vanessa began cooking at an early age, just as soon as she was able to stir a bowl and she has enjoyed putting her own spin on recipes, creating fantastic and imaginative food combinations for family and friends ever since. Vanessa Hudson and her mother Mary Hudson are together the authors of Goodness Me it's Gluten Free. A cookbook focused on gluten free baking that came about due to the families need to eat gluten free because of a Coeliac diagnosis more than 15 years ago, and the subsequent discovery that in fact three quarters of their family were affected with varying degrees of gluten intolerance. They briefly entertained the idea of a lifetime of denial and avoidance of gluten containing foods, but being foodies at heart who loved baking they were not content to simply give up eating the things they had once enjoyed. So they embarked on a quest to create delicious, satisfying, gluten free baked goods that are as much of a joy to cook as they are to eat. Initially they established a company called Goodness Me which made gluten free bread and baking mixes according to a secret family recipe, but over the years they'd developed so many tasty recipes for baked goods they decided that writing a cookbook was the best way to share their secret blends and favourite recipes and the Goodness Me it's Gluten Free Cookbook is the result.показать меньше
