Ahern, Shauna James

Shauna James Ahern has loved food all her lie. In May 2005, she was diagnosed with celiac disease, a fate that she embraced joyfully. Immediately after going gluten-free, she started a food blog, glutenfreegirl.com, where she shares stories, photographs, and recipes. Her Web site won best Food blog with a Theme in 2006 and receives thousands of hits a day. She is considered one of the most authoritative sources on gluten-free living on the Internet. She lives in Seattle with her husband, Daniel Ahern, a professional chef. She doesn't miss gluten at all.
