This will be held at the world famous Le Carrousel du Louvre, more commonly known as The Pyramid near the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.
First time authors Vanessa & Mary Hudson are understandably thrilled with their win saying “It’s an honour, especially knowing we were up against established publishers. To have our cookbook recognised for its quality and from the French no less, who most people would consider an authority on food, is fantastic.”
Goodness Me it’s Gluten Free focuses on baking which is often the most difficult to make delicious and Gluten Free. The cookbook is packed full of the authors pre-diagnosis favourites such as bread, pastry, cakes, cookies, muffins & more. Their catch phrase is “Gluten free food that tastes so good your friends will want to know what your secret is”. Each recipe is accompanied with a photo by co-author and freelance photographer Vanessa Hudson.
