My culinary mission throughout the years has always been to create uncompromisingly delicious food that just happens to be allergen friendly.
While selfishly it means that nearly everything I make is
- free of gluten, dairy, soy
- devoid of overly refined sugar
- organic whenever possible
… the recipes herein are by no means sub-standard knockoffs … these are the real deal!

The incredible aroma emanating from this is unmistakably delicious … If you’ve ever made authentic wine-braised beef you know exactly what I mean!
Approaching each recipe as a specialty dish gives me the inspiration I need to make food that creates memories and keeps us wanting more, the fact that it’s allergen friendly is just a plus (an important one of course, but still not the main attraction).
With this motivation in mind, I find myself constantly looking for my culinary identity in the cuisines that are unfamiliar to me. Even as a proud Canadian, this culinary exploration always gives me a sense of greater responsibility to respect the traditions and heritage of the country I am learning about through food.
Hopefully you will find some of that sense of adventure in the recipes below … happy cooking!
