About
I love food and eating all kinds of it. But in 2008, I discovered my body doesn’t like gluten, cow dairy, pork, or beef. My blog is dedicated to creating amazingly delicious, healthy food that just happens to be gluten free and easy to whip up. All the recipes are personally tested by me and do not compromise on taste.
I’m an entrepreneur who sold my first business and moved to Scottsdale, Arizona for a year or so with my loving husband D, who is also my prime taste tester and dishwasher. We’re back in Toronto now, which is the diverse city we call home. Both of my parents’ families are restauranteurs so I guess you could say cooking is in my genes. I’ve travelled quite a bit and eaten all sorts of stuff from all over the place so my recipes tend to be globally inspired but mostly they’re just great tasting gluten free eats that will keep you looking and feeling gorgeous. xo
that’s me being surprised by one of the 10 courses in a traditional kaiseki dinner in kyoto
Awesome website Vanessa!
My wife is allergic to wheat and eggs and dairy, so i cook her a lot of gluten free stuff. Really tasty looking recipes on your website here!
I am guessing you moved on from the designer apron business?
Take care!
Greg
Thanks Greg – it’so nice to hear from you
I love that you and your wife try new recipes all the time, would love it if you end up trying one of mine 
Keep me posted and feel free to send any great ones over to me to try!
I am having trouble finding the kind of kale you recommend. Any suggestions about finding lacinato kale, or would the kind I find at my regular grocery store be okay?
Hi Pam, I found mine at my local produce stand in Kensington Market in Toronto. It’s of Italan origin so maybe try your local European market or Whole Foods Market. It also goes by the name of dinosaur kale or Tuscan kale. Not sure what type of kale you get at your local store, and I haven’t tried with other kale varieties but if you do try it, please let me know how it is. Would love to learn more options about cooking with kale
hope this helps!
So glad I found your blog; this looks great!
Thanks Lisa!
Have decided to go Gluten Free Ness so going to start practicing some of your recipes!!!
