Our Story
Caroline was a middle schooler when she was diagnosed with celiac disease and her friend Paloma showed her how to make gluten-free cheez-its. They were so good we decided to teach GF cooking online so kids with celiac don’t have to miss out on eating delicious food! Our favorite part of teaching is talking with the kids about shared gluten-free experiences in their everyday lives.

Kids & Parents love us
I could tell how much the kids in class (many of whom had celiac) appreciated being able to make and eat delicious food that wouldn’t make them sick. I’m something of a misanthrope, even under the best circumstances, but I thoroughly enjoyed getting to meet such impressively creative, talented people."

Sharing The Luck
Writer and photographer Paloma Raffle captures the joy and vibrancy of children’s lives around the world in this stunning illustrated children’s book. For ten months, Paloma and her family traveled through 72 villages across 25 countries over 6 continents, and in each place visited children in their homes, schools and communities. Sharing The Luck describes these children’s countries, homes and lives and shares their remarkable stories. This book is full of joy, wonder and struggles — from two thirteen-year-old nuns who will live their lives in a Bhutanese monastery, to the Kenyan middle schooler who has to watch out for elephants and lions on her walk to school every day.
