On this episode of Food Allergy Talk, I welcome Amy Graves, author of The Hidden Consumer: Uncovering the power of health-conscious buyers. Amy is allergic to mold, grass, birch, pet dander... as well as foods, including both corn and soy.
When discovering her allergies she was living in MN but due to not being able to buy food in grocery stores had to move to CA.
Her journey of discovering her allergies was complicated. At the time corn was not tested for and she had to figure it out on her own for over 2 years.
Today we are going to learn about Amy’s story, and how her journey with food allergies let to her book, The Hidden Consumer: Uncovering the Power of Health-Conscious Buyers.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
