About Lucie

How I got started with the Cookbooks...

In 2012, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and my food life had to change. I learned to cook food a different way trying to make it taste great. In 2017 I published my first cookbook Gluten and Gluten Free Cooking in Perfect Harmony. In July 2018 my second cookbook Gluten and Gluten Free Cooking in Perfect Harmony Take 2 was published.  My last cookbook was published early 2020, cookbook Gluten and Gluten Free Cooking in Perfect Harmony Take 3.  Each cookbook has 70 recipes in them that include breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, potpourri and alcoholic beverages. That is 210 different recipes!  All the recipes are written gluten free, traditionally or how to make both at the same time. It’s perfect for multi food diverse families. Just a healthier way of eating. These cookbooks were created to help others with food allergies have an easier food journey.  

How I got started with The Bella Series...

The Bella series books were created to send a positive message to children so they feel good about themselves. The books are Bella From the Farm, Bella Goes to the Spa and Bella's Wish. The books are about a fun, loving Labrador named Bella who encounters difficult situations but finds a positive solution in the end.  

How I got started with Painting...

A few years ago I had an operation and was told I couldn't do anything for a few weeks.  I had been painting with paint by number kits for a few years.  One of my friends suggested I try to freehand paint something.  So I went online and learned how to paint some flowers.  Since then I have created so many interesting paintings.  I hope you enjoy my painting gallery.
