Her young son, Jacob, was allergic to many common food ingredients, so she wanted to create puddings for him that were free of dairy, nuts and sugar. In July 2010, she appeared on the TV show Dragon’s Den, and secured £65,000 of angel investment. Now her company, Kirsty's Freedom, supplies every major supermarket in the UK.
