Hi, I’m Cinde, a foodie and health educator here to help you learn to cook gluten free. We all know it's overwhelming at the beginning, but it does get easier. I'll help you organize your kitchen, and learn what you need to know as quickly, or slowly, as you want.
I've got resources to help you learn what you didn't even know you needed to know, about cooking gluten free. Subscribe and get some of them sent to your inbox and learn what I've got that you need. Our most popular virtual class is Understanding Gluten Free Flour and I'd be delighted if you join the next one. I look forward to meeting you and helping you learn to make gluten free food everyone wants to eat.

Volunteer of the Year
As a health educator I knew living gluten free was more than just recipes so I volunteered with the Calgary Celiac Association. First on the Board of Directors, then I started the first Celiac Kids Meetup in Calgary, and now with the Education Committee. I am a co-presenter for the virtual Celiac 101 Information Night held bi-monthly. There is a lot to learn and a lot to keep up on so finding your community is key. Join or volunteer when and where you can.
Why did I start my blog?
After my friend was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2009, I tried to bake gluten free. From ingredients I’d never heard of to baking that brought me to tears, I learned there was a lot to learn. After finding success I wanted to help everyday cooks learn to cook and bake without so many failures. The blog was born.
The Stomachless Food Photographer
In 2019 Jim had his entire stomach removed because of cancer so we now call him the 'stomachless food photographer'. He now eats most foods but in small amounts. Best of all, he still enjoys taking pretty pictures for the website.
What do you do when you’re not cooking?
I love gardening, sports and the outdoors. When I’m not in the kitchen I like to golf, hike, kayak, ski and play squash. I also love getting away to the family cabin at Moyie Lake, BC. You'll see pictures and videos of all these things in my stories on Instagram and Facebook. Follow me there so the algorithm might send you a tiny fraction of what I post. You might meet our dog Casey over there too.
My Health Care Experience
As a Registered Respiratory Therapist and Certified Respiratory Educator I've been helping people manage conditions like asthma for 30 years. I teach the teachers too, so my passions for food, health and helping people all come together on the blog. I know the health risks of not following a strict gluten free diet and the importance of getting up-to-date information to manage a chronic condition. Bookmark Celiac Canada and visit often for resources, programs and more.
