'Yes, I'm gluten and wheat free. Yes, it's an allergy. Yes, coeliac
disease... No, I don't want a salad! If that sounds familiar, and
you too want to munch into breaded chicken or enjoy gooey Mac &
cheese, then I'm here to show you that, yes, you can make ANYTHING
gluten free.' Megan McKenna, Celebrity MasterChef finalist,
singer-songwriter, highly engaged influencer, coeliac and home
cook, invites you into her gluten-free kitchen. Regularly sharing

messaged to ask: 'Can you make that gluten-free?' And now Megan is

everything from scratch by her mum and soon learnt how to manage

the way, but Megan's resilience, relaxed kitchen vibe and
