‘gluten free grain free – food we love’ book launch…

I have long been a fan of Nambour’s Husk and Honey, and even more so a fan of Tania Hubbard, the heart and soul of this quirky little cafe on Queen Street. I can think of at least one hundred ways to describe Tania; bubbly, dynamic, loving, fun, a little crazy, quirky, beautiful… I think you get the drift.

One of the most amazing things about Tania, is how she has embraced adversity to turn it into an astounding positive, not only for her benefit, but for the benefit of others. While I won’t go into too much detail, Tania has long suffered from gluten and grain intolerances to a point that it severely impacted on her life, but instead of bemoaning the fact, she has turn these intolerances into a educational journey into food and nutrition which not only has been a bonus to her own health, but anyone else that has faced the same obstacles coming to terms with food intolerances and nutritional issues.

First there was Husk and Honey the cafe where she, with the support and help of her husband Eric, have nourished many, many locals and visitors with their honest, soul enriching foods. The cafe doubles up as a laboratory where Tania develops her fabulous (sometimes a little crazy) gluten and grain free concoctions, which go out to eager patrons and always return a thumbs up.

So after a few years of experimentation, you could say that Tania knows a thing or two about gluten and grain free cookery, which has shown itself in the way of a cookbook released just the other week, gluten free grain free – food we love.

I was amongst the many there to support Tania on this special day at the launch of her book and it was such an out pouring of love, that there was barely a dry eye in the house (or on the street as it happens). You see, that is the thing about Tania. She cooks with heart, and soul, and love, and it shows.

The book is a collection of nourishing recipes she has developed in the cafe that are grain free and gluten free, which she shares with her foodie community to help enrich their lives and make living with food intolerances that little bit more bearable.

Food we love includes recipes for a fabulous bread that Tania has developed as well as biscuits, cakes, dips, and delicious meals, and made with, yes, love… her chia seed chocolate cake is a bit of a winner if you ask me 🙂
