I have always had a passion for food and cooking growing up because my mum, who is an amazing cook, taught me how to create delicious food. It wasn’t until four years ago when I was diagnosed with the thyroid autoimmune disease Hashimoto’s that I fell in love with clean cooking. Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition which often comes with a lot of other issues such as food sensitivities and gut related problems. This was more or less the beginning of my food journey to heal my gut and regain complete health and control over my own life. In summer 2016 I sought the advice of a holistic hormonal specialist to help me find some answers. Unfortunately there is no recognized cure for these issues, but there is hope. One piece of advice she gave me was to leave gluten and dairy out of my diet. I started intensive research into thyroid disease and other conditions related to food diet and nutrition and learned how important it is to know where food comes from and what we put into our bodies.
With my culinary background I began experimenting with foods such as vegetables, fruit, healthy fats in the form of coconut, olive, avocados, nuts and seeds, grass-fed/pastured/organic meat and eggs. All the recipes I create are unprocessed, free from gluten, dairy and refined sugar. Here and there I also use gluten free grains and legumes that my stomach does not hate me for such as (brown rice, chickpeas and quinoa).
