Foods Matter, May, 2008:
"Food, Travel and
Culture" by Loretta Jay.
Before food restrictions became
part of Loretta Jay’s family’s life, she researched vacation
destinations and planned daytrips. Now much of her pre-travel homework
consists of learning the types of food and mode of cooking indigenous to
a region. Even though she and her family don’t eat in restaurants, she
still wants her family to experience the culture of the land they are
visiting – including the food. She explains how she does it.

New Haven Register, September 20, 2007:
"Sad Goodbye to Gluten-Free Gourmet",
by Loretta Jay.
I never met Bette Hagman.
Nonetheless, I mourn her death on August 17th in Seattle.
Bette made a significant impact on my ability to give my children
choices – to let them fit in with their friends. Bette was a
pioneer. Because of her, my kids eat pretzels, bagels, pancakes, pizza,
muffins and more. It may not sound like much, but for those of us with
celiac disease and some food allergies, it is a lot.
