I have loved cooking since I was a child. I've been making homemade food forever and have become very comfortable in the kitchen. When I was in my early 20s, I discovered I was lactose intolerant. My eating and cooking habits had to adapt to this new limitation, and, for many years, the impact on my life was minimal. This all changed when, in May 2011, I discovered I had become severely sensitive to some of my favourite foods - garlic, soy, chicken eggs, wheat, gluten, spelt, and dairy (whey, casein) .
With this discovery, I realized I had to start getting creative with my recipes. I have been exploring food with my new diet restrictions since May and have had some wonderful dishes and some epic failures. This blog will be a place for me to share some of the best-tasting recipes I have collected, as well as some things to avoid! Most of these recipes are adaptations of other dishes; I will acknowledge the true authors for every dish.
I hope that friends and family can use these recipes and not feel panic when having to make dishes "Jathina friendly". Cooking and baking are still incredibly rewarding for me. I hope you feel the same after trying some of these tried and true recipes. Bon appetit!
