Fresh Banter with Michelle Berriedale-Johnson who for me and many others has been our guiding light on all things ‘free from’. 

• Michelle became interested in dairy free cooking when both her partner and son had dairy intolerances
• She set up a very early ‘free from' business in the late 80s making dairy free ice cream and meals.
• She created a newsletter for health professionals, then for people with intolerance themselves,
• Next she launched a magazine, a lot of the information from this and a subsequent website is now available HERE
• She created what are now the Free From Awards

Michelle struggled to think of a time when she has stepped outside her comfort zone, not a surprise to me as she is incredibly confident and happy to ‘ have a go’ at lots of things. 

There is no doubt that she has been pivotal in encouraging many of the producers and manufacturers of free from products in the UK today – to have a go themselves or to constantly strive to improve products they make.
