As the name suggests, it's all about delicious food, a perfect seasonal mixture of virtuous and indulgent, that everyone can enjoy because the recipes are either gluten-free, wheat-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free or a combination of all of them! There's a few meaty recipes in there but overall it's a great resource for veggies and vegans too.
After becoming seriously ill in her early twenties with complications from undiagnosed food allergies, passionate food lover Pippa began to look for ways she could adjust to her new way of life without compromising her enjoyment of food and eating.
Always a keen writer, Pippa began a food blog, also called The Intolerant Gourmet, as she explored this new terrain of allergy-friendly cooking and discovered there were many like her, daunted by what seemed to be a bland, unpalatable and unexciting but necessary way to eat. Pippa’s zest and passion changed all that!
Pippa’s revolutionary and deservedly popular approach to indulgent, exciting and sumptuous allergy-friendly cooking has won her many fans and resulted in her first cookbook, The Intolerant Gourmet, being published last year. It even made it into The Times Top 40 Cookbooks of The Year for 2012.
In this episode of Book Ends, Pippa shares the journey of The Intolerant Gourmet with me, from the proposal and agent-hunting stage, through to production and finally publication. She also shares her writing (and cooking!) routine. There are many wonderful nuggets of inspiration in this conversation, I really hope you enjoy it. If you've ever wanted to write a cookbook, make sure you catch this episode!
