Acerca de mí
After receiving my Master's Degree, I worked in healthcare for 15 years. I then moved into high tech where I had a great sales career for over 20 years. But, I always felt like something was missing from my life.
After being diagnosed with numerous food intolerances, I began to devote all of my free time to creating delicious recipes that excluded the common allergens. I also became a certified Nutrition Educator.
When I got laid off from my full-time sales job this past April, it was the perfect opportunity for me to return to my true passions...nutrition and cooking. I now provide nutritional counseling and cooking instruction with a specialization in working with people who have food intolerances and allergies.
Influencias de Cocina
I first learned to cook when I married at age 18. I used Betty Crocker's Cookbook for 2 (I still have it 40 years later) to figure out how to plan a meal, what foods went together, and learn to cook from scratch. My skills improved and evoled as I mastered recipes from the classics:The Joy of Cooking and Julia Child along with a host of other fabulous books.
Now I enjoy preparing a wide variety of food from my collection of favorite French, Indian, Thai, Italian, Vegetarian, and Mexican recipes....all adapted to be allergy-friendly.

I've got client meetings both today and tomorrow in the late afternoon/early evening (your time) , but I'm wide open on Wednesday. Will that work? - 08 de Junio de 2009I'm in Eastern Mass, so I'm 3 hours later than you are. Tonight, Monday evening would be very good.

- 04 de Junio de 2009Hi Sharon, I will definitely look at your website. And, just yesterday, I was telling somebody I'd love a recipe fror gluten, dairy, egg, soy free sourdough bread. Does your recipe exclude ALL of those things?? If so, I'm excited!! Regarding my baked products, I,too, have had bakeries asking me to produce my products, but cannot figure out how to avoid cross contamination.
Is there a time we could talk "live" next week? I think we're moving in very similar directions and could possibly help each other out in our quest!
I can be reached at 408-507-7037 - 04 de Junio de 2009Wonderful website, great services being offered!! I couldn't email you directly, though...maybe a glitch on my side?? I went to school in Boston, my kids both live in that area now (Cambridge, Danvers), and I'll be coming to the Cape for my dtr's wedding on 6-21. Again, I'd love to chat with you personally; I'm hoping we could do a "trade" for each others' cookbooks :)
- 04 de Junio de 2009Hello Bonnie, Thanks for friending me! It's nice to find another multiple allergen cook/baker. I have also written a book in PDF format, gluten, dairy, egg, soy free sourdough baking book. I sell it on my website. I teach classes in traditional cooking techniques like lacto fermented foods and sourdough baking. When I removed the foods I was sensitive to I was able to fully heal from 2 decades of health challenges. I have started to get calls from various parts of the country to purchase my bread so I am researching how to legally do that. Please look at my website if you haven't already www.food-medicine.com and please let me know what your book is like. Keep in touch, Sharon.1 reply
