ABOUT

I'm Catherine, I am 20 years old and a junior in college attending Tufts University in Boston, MA.

I am studying Human Factors Engineering and Architectural Studies.

​

I am a proud food lover and photographer and have found a passion with creating recipes and photographing them! My recipes are based on classic dishes and centered around whole ingredients and produce. I love sharing my passion for cooking-- something that I've had my whole life. On top of my love for food and cooking, I have food allergies to dairy, eggs, peanuts, and tree nuts. Learning how to cook at an early age was very empowering for me because it allowed me to not feel left out despite my dietary restrictions. Thus, my passion sparked as a result of my desire to not let my allergies define my life. 

​

Cooking has become a way for me to advocate for allergy friendly and healthy eating. Publishing my cookbook, Cook It Up, in 2018 was such a milestone, showing that this passion of mine is something real that I can share with the world and use to spread awareness for food allergies. My goal is to show that food allergies don't have to limit your creativity in the kitchen and cooking healthy recipes with whole foods makes navigating food allergies easier.

I'm so glad you are here and I hope you enjoy my recipes!
