A local food-lover who is also gluten and lactose intolerant has put her passion for cooking into a unique concept, designing a cookbook that is dedicated to delicious recipes for those living with specific dietary requirements.
Paula Hovey was diagnosed with Chron’s Disease three years ago and following a food intolerance test at Kissun Clinics, she discovered that she was allergic to gluten, wheat, lactose, tomato and tea.
Paula spent many years in discomfort and although she now has to adhere to a strict diet, she is much happier.
“Tomatoes were the hardest!” she laughed.
“I loved Italian food and have had to accept that I will never enjoy it again, but I am so grateful for my diagnosis because my life has changed so much – I can finally sleep through the night!”
When cooking at a local retreat, Paula was inspired and motivated by other attendees to follow her dreams and create her own cookbook, filling it with delicious recipes that she has tweaked and improved over the years to accommodate her diet.
“Going out to dinner can be hard work when you have intolerances,” said Paula.
“I am so proud to share this book with heaps of recipes that you will want to share with your family, that are enjoyable for all and easy to make.”
From popcorn chicken with bang bang sauce, slow cooked brisket and gooey brownie with home-made ice-cream – all 48 pages of recipes are winners.
Paula’s cookbook is entitled PJ’s Food Diary’s Gluten and Lactose Free – For Pains in the Arse Like Me!
She will be holding a launch party at Whisper Bar on Saturday 12th November at 12pm.
