Scared Wheatless is a humourous book of recipes on the serious subject of healthy eating. The author, Mary Jo Eustace, has been in the culinary world for over 20 years. She's been a TV host, a chef, the author of multiple cookbooks and a memoir on her very public divorce with Dean McDermott. She's also a mother of two; a daughter with alopecia who needs a restricted diet and a son who thinks healthy food is the pits. Not one to be brought down by a setback, Mary Jo found out everything she could about gluten-free recipes, autoimmune disease and food allergies to help her daughter, herself, and all her friends who were struggling every day to eat food that actually made them feel good after eating it. For many of us, the idea of cutting out gluten or living without soy or dairy is the beginning of a nightmare and the end of eating anything that resembles a good-tasting meal. The secret, though, is that gluten-free doesn't have to mean boring and gross. Mary Jo has recipe tested each delectable dish in this new book to make sure it's not only healthy but tastes great! In Scared Wheatless Mary Jo talks candidly about her divorce, her family's health, tricking her son into eating healthy recipes, and provides comprehensive details on how to finally make your food pantry work for you. Tips, twists and experiments offer plenty of substitutions for different tastes and different dietary restrictions.
