Gluten-Free Girl Visits Chicagoland
People with celiac disease or those who just like to try new foods, can enjoy an evening of gluten-free food with a well-known blogger, Gluten-Free Girl.
Celiac disease, an inherited autoimmune disorder, may have been the best thing to happen to Shauna James Ahern.
Once she was diagnosed and forced to change her lifestyle and how she ate, she found love for seasonal foods, scratch cooking, living life with no regrets – and a man.
Ahern shares her journey in her debut book, “Gluten-Free Girl: How I Found the Food That Loves Me Back…And How You Can Too” (Wiley, 288 pages, $24.95), which hit shelves Oct. 12 , timed appropriately to coincide with Celiac Awareness Month and a cross-country book tour.
She will be in Evanston for a book signing at BooCoo Cafe & Cultural Center on Nov. 1 from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.
The Balanced Kitchen, the gluten-free, vegan restaurant mentioned in the post on October 29, will cater the event. All of the snacks will be organic, gluten-free and vegan.
