“The Instagram account The Gutless Foodie will be kept alive and open since I know her posts and stories inspire a lot of people and many of her followers frequently come back for her recipes and the published content continues to serve as a source of inspiration for many,” her husband added in the Instagram post.
“I also know she loved the direct interaction with her followers and she always found it important to try and respond to anyone who contacted her. She also greatly enjoyed meeting her followers throughout the years at different events and during our various travels. Her ‘Foofoo’ recipes contributed to spicing up the almost 20 years I got to have her as the love of my life and partner,” he posted and wrapped up his post with a picture of the chef.

I'm just an ordinary follower, and she always made me smile. She showed courage and authenticity as she dealt with all the challenges in her life.

I've followed Natasha's page since 2017 and truly admired her gumption and compassion, the way she brought recipes to life, and the smiles on the faces of all those around her. She gave me a sense of community during the early days on the gram. May she continue to cook up a storm wherever she is. Love and strength to the family".
A third posted, "This is heartbreaking. For a follower who met her just once many years ago, she always seemed so brave and full of life, sharing her loves and struggles equally on her page. Nothing anyone says can make a difference at this point, but do know that there are hundreds of lives she touched, and all of us have her and her family in our thoughts".
