About Me

Vicki Montague

Founder, The Free From Fairy

At around the age of 18 I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It took many years for me to discover that wheat and gluten were causing many of my symptoms. Once I removed them from my diet my bloating significantly reduced and I was able to eat without pain. Fast forward to 2007 when my daughter was born. She entered the world screaming and didn't really stop until she was finally diagnosed with egg and milk protein allergies at the age of 9 months. Being a keen cook and scientist I leapt to the challenge of making food that we could all eat. Then in 2010, she was diagnosed with coeliac disease, a life long autoimmune condition that necessitates a strict gluten free diet. I never wanted her to miss out on anything. I made it my mission to create wholesome food that we would all enjoy together whilst bringing her up to be happy and healthy. I won't lie. It's been hard at times. Understanding what she could eat, how to prevent cross-contamination, how to read food labels, how to manage the kitchen and bake delicious treats...but I've never given up and I'm always learning. Now I'm ready to share everything I've learnt with you.

I have been following Vicki on Free From Fairy for a couple of years now on Facebook. I was so delighted when I saw these courses that she was so generously offering. In Australia we don't have Free From Fairy GF flour so indeed it is very generous that Vicki is imparting her recipe to those living out of the UK. I bought and completed the Gluten Fre Diet Basics on the same day and then on Saturday I bought and completed the Savoury Bakes course all in one evening. So lovely to have Amelia baking along and showing how easy it is for the kids to make her recipes. ! Thank you for all your time and generosity in guiding us into delicious Gluten Free Cooking! These courses are well worth the effort to do and learn that really GF baking is not all that difficult once you know the basics and then to follow through with her delicious recipes. Thank you so much Vicki. X
