When my second daughter was 3 months old and her colic symptoms seemed to be getting worse not better we began to suspect food sensitivities. I am grateful to have never had to consider ‘free from’ food before except for the odd dinner guest with an allergy or two so this was absolutely new to me. I was breastfeeding so my diet was affecting her and I decided to give up dairy, egg and soya. Over the next 12 weeks this was the constant and I tried many things until finally doing a total elimination diet (post on this to follow!)

During this process we discovered my husband’s eczema is aggravated by egg.

So here I am, a passionate cook and foodie facing the challenge of a child with multiple food sensitivities and a husband with an egg sensitivity. Join me on the journey of learning to cook and eat great food that’s allergy friendly!
