Elaine Skiadas is a food photographer and recipe developer, who studies communication at a Californian university and loves drawing, painting and running. She loves good food but has an allergy to nuts, eggs and dairy, so has used her creative skills to formulate suitable recipes tase great. Rather than see her allergies as a disadvantage, she loves to be forced to think outside the box to help people eat tasty food, with or without restrictive eating rules.
A recent survey was alarming, when young children were asked where food came from. They thought strange things like potatoes grew on trees? Of course this is not always the case, but teaching children to cook not only keeps them healthy, but gives them skills for life so as adults, they won’t be slaves to the ready-meal industry or fast food restaurants. Visit NHS dietitian Sandra Hood to cover calcium, protein etc.
