When she was diagnosed with IBS in 2009 Becky Excell started creating free-from versions of all her favourite recipes and sharing them on a blog. Fast forward 10 years and she now has over a million followers across all her channels, has appeared on TV, written 5 cookbooks, and won a number of awards.
Meanwhile, Samantha Smith is a food lover, self-taught baker and home cook. Since being diagnosed with type one diabetes over 20 years ago at the age of 12 then more recently as cealiac, she has experimented with recipes that taste great whilst maintaining balanced blood sugars. In 2022, she appeared on the BBC One as a finalist in a nationwide competition run by Fortnum & Mason to find a recipe to celebrate Her late Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Becky and Sam will be coming together on the 1st December to talk about what it’s like navigating a season that is so focused on food and to offer there advice on cooking delicious free from party food. There will be welcome drink on arrival, lots of food and a few festive tunes.
