Her amazing mother's influence drew her to food and nutrition at an early age.
Motivated by her love affair with all things food and with no business experience, Pennie established an organic café in Cairns, Far North Queensland. By customer demand, this dream quickly morphed into an exclusively allergy free café. And so began her journey into a whole new food revolution.
At the beginning of this century allergy free foods were rarely commercially available. With very little knowledge of food allergies, Pennie travelled via Asia to India in search of allergy free ingredients. She spent endless hours researching literature on nutrition, food allergies, and compromised immune systems. She experimented with unfamiliar ingredients and developed hundreds of alternative recipes for her customers.
In return, her efforts were highly appreciated by customers worldwide. In a short period of time, her café became the allergy-free destination in North Queensland, Australia. It was selected as Best Café in Town by Lonely Planet guide and featured in Gourmet Traveller and Delicious magazine amongst others. Pennie also appeared on nationwide radio shows on several occasions, providing helpful information on allergy-free cooking.
Pennie, together with her husband, have now established an allergy free take-and-bake packaged food business and continues to serve those with special dietary needs. On her long journey as an allergy-free professional, she met people from diverse backgrounds and cultures with numerous food allergies. And after entertaining their constant demands and operating a successful, unique allergy-free venture in the hospitality industry for many years. Pennie has compiled this book in dedication to all those with grumbly tummies who taught her, inspired her, challenged her, supported her, and encouraged her upon this never-ending search.view less
