Grain Free Living is the labour of love of just one person. My name is Janelle and I am a 40 year old web developer (very handy, that) with two small children, one of whom has food sensitivities and a husband with severe life threatening crohn's disease. Well, at least it was life threatening before we removed all grains from our diet.  He has been in so-called "remission" for several years now.

I have been cooking grain free for almost 8 years and through necessity have got rather good at it!  I am not a natural cook though, so most of my recipes are thrown together with minimal fuss and bother (and often one handed while I carry a clingy baby).

My husband reacts badly to all grains and dairy, my daughter does not tolerate high salicylate foods.  This is why I have been forced to move away from the typical dependancy on almond meal as it is very high salicylate. 

They love cake and I like to bake. Ergo: lots of cake recipes!

The majority of these recipes are from my own personal experiments in the kitchen, occasionally I post a recipe from another source or contributed by a reader.

I have a computer in the kitchen and type faster than I write, its more secure to keep recipes online than on a home hard-drive, and that is basically how this website was born.  It has since grown into an international resource for those living grain-free, with over 1000 hits a day, and growing every month. 

I have spent many years researching and learning about grain-free living and food intolerances in general and I am pleased to be able to pass that knowledge on to others.
