hi! i'm ren, she/her. i was diagnosed with coeliac disease just over a year ago, as a full-on adult with well-established eating habits... cue total lifestyle overhaul.

the last meal i made was spaghetti bolognese, the sauce from scratch. i don't tend to do much baking... i have basically zero experience beyond watching people; i can make meringues and that's about it. i'm interested in all sorts of recipes!! this is why i'm here, to learn from people who are more approachable than your average recipe blog/book :-)

for myself, i prefer to cook/am best at cooking things that aren't so much substitutes for wheat etc but which simply don't rely on that element. because of allergies i can't eat most meat, so my diet is largely vegetarian. i love to do creative things with vegetables, especially along the lines of middle eastern food. my party trick is that i can make a perfect cheese omelette.

i will probably mostly be a lurker/commenter as i don't have any baking recipes of my own to contribute, but i am definitely here to talk all sorts of Special Dietary Requirements, and also happy to chat spoonie lifestyle over DMs or whatever :-)
