When Dr. Lucy Gibney found out her son had severe food allergies she discovered two things: there was a growing market of gluten-free and vegan treats, and, most of them weren’t very good. Thinking she would fare better in her own kitchen, Lucy got to work with the goal of making something that managed to meet special dietary considerations and surpass taste tests. But it wasn’t easy. At all. “I worked at recipes for weeks, just trying to make something good for us to eat at home,” admits Lucy.
More than a few recipes later, Lucy has grown her at-home tinkering into a baking powerhouse – selling treats that prove ‘a modified diet doesn’t have to be a limited diet’ at retailers coast-to-coast. And while we didn’t get to try samples of her certified gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO treats (feel free to ask for our address if you need it, Lucy) Lucy’s press, which includes Women’s Health, Food Network Magazine, Real Simple and O, The Oprah Magazine, earns her a dedicated spot on our grocery list.
