I've watched a few episodes of Alternative Chef Kitchen now and have thoroughly enjoyed them all. One of the things I find with my customers is that they all have such varied food allergies. Alternative Chef Kitchen addresses this by showing us a series of different ways to make the same thing which I find really refreshing. Keep up the great work team. I can't wait to see the next episode!

I am so glad that I stumbled across The Alternative Kitchen e-book on Instagram and had the opportunity to contact Lisa and check out her online program " Your Alternative Kitchen".After battling my own gut health issues and desperately searching for as many recipes as I could to help with my food intolerances and dietary choices, The Alternative Kitchen proved to be a great help. I was overwhelmed at having to cut certain foods out of my diet and trying to find replacements but I learned how to break this down through using the modules in the Your Alternative Kitchen e-course. I had never thought about the various roles each food plays eg: colour, texture, taste and what foods could replace these roles but I am now able to use this method when cooking at home.Thanks Lisa for a new insight into alternative cooking - the possibilities are endless and I don't have to go without now that I have learned about creativity in the kitchen!Sammy - Thermomix Consultant in Adelaide SA.Holly Gardner
"While the Alternative Kitchen's cook book may not be specifically geared towards food allergy families, we have found it to be incredibly helpful in our home. The information at the beginning of the book makes understanding alternative diets, whether it's from allergies, lifestyle or choice, easier to understand. The recipes are also easy to understand and have become staples in our house! One of our favorites is the Creamy Avocado Mayo. It's heavenly!"

In my practice I see a large number of individuals with food intolerances who often find it challenging to source alternative options to what they used to enjoy. To have a cooking show and recipe book that helps cater to these individuals is very exciting. They will be able to feel less alone and hopefully be able to absorb some passion and knowledge from these resources to increase their quality of life.
