I just came down to earth after reading Gluten-Free Girl by Shauna James Ahern. Her conversational style made me feel that she is an old friend. Her passion, respect and joy of good food is simpatico as I have written two recipe books myself.
It was a privilege to read the measures she took to heal herself from many years of undiagnosed celiac disease and how she turned her condition around to an uplifting experience. She helped herself along with so many who need this information, which she infuses with her genuine enthusiasm for both healing and good food!
While I am unable to shop in small markets to purchase the highest quality of any given item, reading of her association with vendors and her sniff-and-taste experiences redirected me to the delight and romance of excellent food. I cannot utter enough complimentary adjectives to explain how her creative gift of expression absorbed and transported me to another delightful dimension.
Her enthusiasm is contagious. I will be preparing her well-written, inspiring recipes immediately. My first choice is Chilled Millet Salad with Jicama and Mango. Yum!
I plan to reread Gluten-Free Girl for food preparation as well as for pure pleasure. For me food is love, and I feel her love for the reader on every page!
