However, due to my own health journey I had to rethink food, and it prompted me to create recipes that are gluten free, delicious and healthy. Now I have been able to carry this food philosophy through to a beautiful collection of recipes that are perfect for Christmas and will be enjoyed by everyone.” Here she shares her recipe for a gorgeous gluten free Christmas turkey with chive, cranberry and pistachio stuffing.
