Hi, I’m Cinde, a foodie and health educator here to help you learn to cook gluten free. It's overwhelming at the beginning, but I guarantee 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. I have volunteered with the Calgary Celiac Association for many years. First on the Board of Directors, I started the first Celiac Kids Meetup and now I help on the Education Committee. I co-present for the virtual Celiac 101 Information Night and I'm learning all the time.
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 learning about flour and finding success, I knew I could help you learn faster. The blog was born.
The Stomachless Food Photographer
In 2019 Jim had his entire stomach removed because of cancer and now he is the 'stomachless food photographer'. He eats most foods, not too spicy, and 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 like 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'll meet our dog Casey 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. 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 keeping up-to-date with medical research and changes in practise. Bookmark Celiac Canada and visit often for resources, programs and more. Or look for similar organizations in your country.
