My Blog

Welcome to my blog! I’m a passionate pastry chef dedicated to spreading joy through the art of cooking. My journey has been profoundly shaped by my experience with Schwannomatosis, a rare neurofibromatosis disorder that presents daily challenges, including chronic pain and sensitivities to gluten and food latex. Through this space, I aim to share both the struggles of living with a chronic illness and the joys that come from creating delicious, allergy-friendly recipes. Join me as I explore the intersection of health and culinary creativity, inspiring others to embrace their own journeys in the kitchen while finding joy in every bite.
