Get to know Leah!

The summer before my junior year of high school, I watched every episode of Chopped on Netflix.

While I had always enjoyed cooking, this show completely transformed the way I viewed it. Cooking became

more than just a hobby—it became an outlet for creativity and a chance to experiment with how different flavors

and textures come together  to create something truly special. My family happily volunteered to be my taste-testers,

and that season of life profoundly shaped the way I approach cooking today.

​

When my mom and I discovered we had gluten intolerances, it added a new challenge to the mix:

could I create gluten-free meals that didn’t sacrifice taste, texture, or creativity? Over time,

through trial and error, I’ve refined my skills. (Feel free to ask my family—they’ll back me up!)

​

Cooking has become my favorite way to express creativity and show love to those around me. Many of

my recipes are inspired by the people I share life with and my desire to make them feel cared for. As I often 

tell my husband, food is my love language, and every dish I create is truly made with love. This passion led

to the creation of Leah x Gluten Free—a space to document recipes that are crafted with care and free from gluten.

Thank you for being here. I hope you can taste the love in every recipe!
