Tapioca Pear Cake Allergy Friendly, Gluten-Free, Five Ingredients
This recipe grew out of my recent meeting of Jenny Sprague, whose blog is Multiple Food Allergy Help . Her food allergic child, who also has cancer, is on a low-foods diet as they try to figure out what foods he can eat. She explained this to me over dinner (dinner at The Strand courtesy […]
