Extraordinary Folks in Food- Elana Amsterdam

I’m really excited to share a new weekly series on Extraordinary Folks in Food.  These are people I know or have read and think that they make great contributions to the food world.  I’ve sent a list of questions to each and they have chosen which ones to answer.  I’ve shared their answers below so you can get to know them a little better.

This week I’d like to share with you Elana Amsterdam who writes the food blog Elana’s Pantry.  She has also written two cookbooks, The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook and Gluten-Free Cupcakes: 50 Irresistible Recipes Made with Almond and Coconut Flour due out in April of this year.  We love the recipes in her first book and can’t wait for the second.

Come back at the end of the week for a twist on one of her recipes and a chance to win an autographed copy of The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook.
