Christina Gray is an award-winning photographerand founder of Bella Luna Studios Photographybased out of the San Francisco Bay Area. Having nofood allergies herself, she often found herself cookingfor family and friends that had them. In an effortto learn more about food allergens and understandhow to cook delicious allergen-safe meals, she begana culinary journey. Be Free Cooking is a collection ofrecipes from that journey. She carefully documentedher favorite recipes and converted each one into anallergen-safe version. Be Free Cooking is a collection of 40 traditional recipes, along with 40 allergen-free counterparts. Christina highlights eight allergens in her cookbook: gluten, wheat, dairy, casein, egg, nut, corn, and soy.
