Changing Your Diet: Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten free, Dairy Free

Many people are turning to vegetarian, vegan, or raw-vegan diets for health reasons. Others have to quit gluten, soy, or dairy.  Because we make custom tailored recipes, we can easily help you find nutritious and varied foods to eat while avoiding the "unwanted" ingredients.  You will restore the joys of eating to your meals.

In 2010, Chelsea Clinton made news when she hired a vegan caterer for her wedding reception. Her father, the former President, has lost a lot of weight and is enjoying foods without saturated fat or cholesterol.

Scientific research is now starting to pay attention to the power of the anti-oxidants in fruits and vegetables for cancer prevention. There are people who have even reported putting cancer into remission by switching to a raw food diet and increasing fruit and vegetable juices.

So whether you want to go vegan or raw-vegan, or you are already vegan and want to make sure that your nutrient intake is adequate, we can help you reach that goal, teach you how to put together meals that will delight your friends and family and add variety to your diet using a multitude of flavors and textures from around the world.

We work with cancer patients, vegan nursing mothers, raw-foodists and people who are interested in switching to a vegan diet without feeling deprived or nutrient-deficient.

Food allergies

People who are allergic to gluten or dairy often find it difficult to eat in restaurants, at social gatherings, or eating their favorite foods such as desserts, ethnic foods, and of course bread and desserts.

Our expertise in designing custom based recipes will make eating fun again. We make breads, muffins, pancakes, cookies using a variety of flours from rice, garbanzo, soy, millet, spelt, and even coconut flour. We can also make desserts that donʼt have eggs or dairy.

Most importantly, we will teach you how to read labels in grocery store to spot out products that contain gluten and what you can replace them with. You will find that being on a gluten free diet is actually a very healthy way to live. You will effortlessly avoid refined sugars and refined flours. Instead, you will enjoy an abundance of whole grain, fruits, nuts, seeds and colorful vegetables. The secret is in the seasoning and food combining.
