In my twenties I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, but the battle had begun long before as a child. My diet changed in time once doctors discovered more information about the disease. In the 90's I began my culinary career, which helped with my writing recipes. I tweaked dishes that I had already been cooking professionally for many years for my personal use. In time, I've met many people who could benefit from these recipes so this book was born. I hope you enjoy these recipes. They have made my family and I happy for many years. Sincerely, Chef Tess Jones
