Gluten-Free Feasts - by Melanie Persson (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

In Gluten-Free Feasts, Mel Persson (aka The Very Hungry Coeliac) continues her mission to share the foods she loves and help those living gluten-free rediscover their joy of cooking and eating.

Because doing without gluten doesn't mean you have to miss out ... especially when it comes to sharing food with family and friends! From Taco Night to the ultimate Dim Sum spread, Take Out on a Friday to a special Celebration feast, no meal or occasion is off-limits.

​Whether you're hosting a party or cooking for two, Mel serves up over 80 fabulous, flavour-packed recipes that taste just like the 'real deal', cater for every occasion and mood, and which everyone (gluten-intolerant or not) will adore.

About the Author

Melanie Persson (aka The Very Hungry Coeliac) was on MasterChef Australia 2022 and was the first contestant to compete as a gluten-free cook. Since being diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2016, she has worked hard to develop recipes that she used to love, sharing them with the community she's built on Instagram. These are strongly influenced by her experiences living in the UK, Australia, Japan and Italy, as well as her Swedish heritage. Mel is passionate about helping people on gluten-free diets rediscover their joy for food and cooking. Whenever she isn't cooking and sharing recipes, she is working on her research as a PhD candidate in the field of children's literature. Her first book, The Very Hungry Celiac, was published in 2025.
