Jillian had been a vegetarian for 10 years when she began to experience strong cravings for seafood. Eventually, she gave in and tried eating some and it proved to be delicious. It turned out that she had become gluten-sensitive and the seafood cravings were her body's way of trying to get more of the vitamins and minerals her system was no longer absorbing properly. Since then, she has become intensely interested in nutrients and increasingly baffled by the "food" industry.
Jillian not only has a flare for writing but also works at perfecting it, never settling for the easy phrase. Considering how many food blogs there are, she still manages to come up with a variety of intriguing subjects on a topic of great import to her, with her food allergies. Jillian's interview with the owner of a gelato shop in Ottawa South is excellent: a strong intro, not putting herself into the story more than necessary, and asking smart questions of the subject that led to strong answers. – Peggy Berkowitz
