ABOUT THE AUTHOR

“COOKING UP KINDNESS”
A Registered Psychologist in Vancouver, Canada, I’m Dr. Theresa Nicassio, a possibilitarian and out-of-the-box psychologist, mom, radio show host, author, and wellness educator who is simply doing what I can to help the world be a kinder, healthier, and more sustainable place.
Everything changed after I gave birth…
Instead of enjoying motherhood as the active woman I had been prior pregnancy, life became a nightmare of disability and chronic pain.
It never even occurred to me in over twelve years that my health problems could be related to food sensitivities and autoimmune dysfunction. During that time, my greatest fear was that my daughters would be left motherless before they graduated high school.
I hope that my story and resource book for living with food allergies and other dietary restrictions can be a source of hope for you and offer you the tools that I wished had been available for me and my family during those darkest of times in my life.

REVIEWS OF YUM
“Refreshingly free of politics and polemics, Nicassio’s book strictly focuses on the food, offering thoughtful and practical recipes… Kid- and family-friendly … as well as inventive riffs…all of which are simple and ingenious….Even carnivores will find dishes … hard to resist.”
