This blog is where I keep workarounds for cooking and living with Alpha-gal syndrome.

I spent over 15 years working as a line cook in kitchens, cooking privately for clients with complex dietary restrictions, and studying plants.

After developing AGS, I had to adapt to my allergy and rethink how I cooked and stocked a kitchen. I'm documenting it so people with AGS or caretakers of people with AGS don't have to do so much work to feed themselves safely and can, instead, focus on enjoying food. 

I am not a medical professional, and my mission is only just to make cooking and eating more accessible for our community. There are other sites with information about symptoms, diagnosis, etc. Actual doctors are agreat resource, even if many of them are still learning about this condition.

Here you’ll find:

  • Recipes that work on a weeknight

  • Ingredient and pantry guides

  • Herbal preparations that bring variety and flavor to your meals

  • Tips and tricks for the kitchen and beyond.
