I’m Cybele Pascal and I’m the mother of a food allergic family. My son Lennon was diagnosed with severe dairy and soy allergies in 2001, and our life in the kitchen was forever changed.

In 2001, there were no cookbooks that eliminated all top 8 allergens responsible for 90% of food allergies. Nobody had written it. But those were the recipes I needed, so I wrote the book myself.  I spent about two years creating the recipes that eventually became The Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook.
