CHRISTINA GRAY
“ Be Free Cooking is the first cookbook that will help with my ‘dual household’ food preparation. Be Free is a valuable tool for families (and their friends) who are trying to accommodate various dietary needs. This cookbook is on my recommended reading list for my clients.”
Christina Gray is an award-winning photographer and founder of Bella Luna Studios Photography based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. Having no food allergies herself, she often found herself cooking for family and friends that did have them. In an effort to learn more about food allergens and understand how to cook delicious allergen-safe meals, she began a culinary journey. Be Free Cooking is a collection of recipes from that journey. She carefully documented her favorite recipes and converted each one into an allergen-safe version. Her goal is to help people who do not have food allergies be empowered to cook for people who do, while simultaneously enjoying the comfort foods they love.
The Allergen-Aware Cook Traditional and Allergen-Free Cooking
“ Choose the delicious ‘Be’ recipes or their allergen-free versions. Either way, you won’t feel deprived. The ‘Be’ recipes look scrumptious, and the ‘Free’ recipes appear so good that you may find yourself choosing them over the standard versions.”
