Bette Hagman

It is will great sadness I pass on the following news: last friday, Bette Hagman, beloved gluten free cookbook author, died. She was an inspiration and saviour with her six cook books that covered all aspects of gluten free cookery and baking. She saved people from the despair of not being able to eat the foods they grew up with and has inspired so many of us to push the limits of gluten free baking. It was her recipes that first challenged me to try gluten free baking and gave me the confidence to serve the results to friends and family. Without her cook books I wouldn't be the baker I am today. I owe her a unimaginable debt, one that can never be repaid or measured.
