Joel and Mary Schaefer, professional chefs who both live with food allergies and intolerances, wrote At Home with Your Allergy Chefs: Cooking Up Gluten-Free and Allergy-Friendly Meals Everyone Will Enjoy to make the journey to delicious meals with purpose easy and accessible. The book is a treasure for those with food allergies or sensitivities, including those with celiac disease and on gluten-free and vegan diets.
The Schaefers began their journey in food allergies at Walt Disney World(R) Resort. Joel was the culinary development and special dietary needs manager, responsible for developing the food allergy and special diets program for Disney properties worldwide and Disney Cruise Line, which is known as the gold standard in the food service industry. With Mary's role as pastry chef, she worked with Joel on developing amazingly safe and delicious desserts that helped bring Disney's reputation for serving people with food allergies to the next level.
The Schaefers believe that recipes modified to accommodate food allergies don't have to compromise taste. All you have to do is turn the pages in their book to have your favorite meals come true.
