My daughter and I continue to avoid gluten, sugar and dairy and I can say with certainty that changing our diets has completely changed our lives. We’re also enjoying food as much – or more – than we ever have, proving that you don’t have to compromise flavour for health benefits. She once said to me: “mom if people knew how good the right foods can make them feel, they’d never go back to their old ways of eating”, which perfectly sums up my mission through Herbs N Honey:

To open your eyes to the ways foods can help (and hinder) our bodies and teach you to prepare them in a way that tastes – and makes you feel – so great you won’t ever want to go back.

I left my corporate job in 2019 and began hosting online cooking classes during the early months of the pandemic. It was a lemons-out-of-lemonade situation at the time, but one that helped me realize just how perfect a medium Zoom is for cooking classes – and the rest, as they say, is history.
