About The Allergy Chef™
Hey! I’m Kathlena, The Allergy Chef ™, and I have more than 200 food allergies and intolerances. I can’t drink most water, have life-threatening allergies, and contact & airborne allergies as well. On top of that I also have chemical and environmental issues, which is why you’ll see me in my life-saving respirator often. Here’s a bit more about me, but you can read Our Story if you want the long version 🙂
We’ve been a food allergy family for almost 20 years, and have walked a mile (or more) in your shoes. From difficulty nailing down a diagnosis to understanding food choices in grocery stores- we’ve been there. One of our big struggles early on was learning what no one was talking about: HOW food is made, shared equipment, and all of the small details you’ll need to know to keep your kids safe (especially if they cannot tolerate trace amounts of allergens).
We also struggled to make sure our kids were always included, so advocating on their behalf became second nature. We were blessed to have a school that was happy to work with us, but we know not everyone else has it so easy.
Personally, I’ve struggled with the pitfalls of having to be completely and truly corn free. Walking into a grocery store and seeing biodegradable bags everywhere… going to the farmer’s market only to see them handling everything with disposable gloves… Learning the very hard ropes of corn free living is perhaps the greatest struggle we’ve had to endure.
For me, being given 30 days to live was a welcomed rock bottom. To know that my suffering would be over sooner than later was almost a relief. We made sure the kids had the most amazing 30 days, and then… I survived. We proceed with such great caution, but that’s when I personally really learned HOW to thrive with such a complicated diagnosis. I was able to provide that for the kids easily (even though they each had a different diagnosis) but mine… it was just so BIG.
Never tell me what I can’t do. It’s something most people don’t realize about me (oh the funny stories I could tell). When I’d hear people say you can’t have XYZ free-from, it lit a fire under me. I was determined to prove to the world that we can have our cake and eat it too.
We started a bakery that’s had thousands of people without food allergies fall in love with our treats. We did a nationwide tour to hep people all over the US with food allergies see that there’s so much safe and delicious food to eat.
We’ve published cookbooks and so much more: all to show you that this diagnosis does NOT define you, and it certainly will not prevent you from living an awesome life. We want you to see that you can have just about anything your heart and tummy desires (though, some elbow grease may be required).
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a contract?
There’s no long term contract involved, though, there is a terms of service if that counts. When you join RAISE, you pay a monthly membership fee (or yearly for recipes only), and you can cancel at any time. Canceling is as easy as logging into your account and clicking a few buttons, or sending us an email and we’ll take care of it for you.
Do you have resources for picky eaters?
Not many. Whilst there are a few resources that can help in this area, that’s not the main focal point of RAISE. However, I will say, in some cases, what looks like picky eating is actually a sign of an allergy. It was in the case of Kid Two, so never force-feed kids 🙂
Are there cake recipes?
Yes!! There are several cake recipes that meet different dietary needs. ALL of our cake recipes are gluten free, dairy free, egg free, vegan, sesame free, peanut free, tree nut free, soy free, and more. Each cake then eliminates specific ingredients to make sure that even those with less-common allergies have something to choose from. The good news is, they’re all delicious.
Do you make individualized recipes just for me?
No, but you can use the Advanced Recipe Search for customized results tailored to your needs. You can also bookmark several custom search results for easy access, and use the favorite feature too.
When joining RAISE, we ask that you fill out our New Member Form, which makes us aware of your needs. As we develop new recipes, we keep the needs of all of our members in mind. For example, back in the day when RAISE was new, we had someone join who could have garlic but not onion. It’s thanks to them that we have SO many newer recipes with different allium combinations (or no alliums at all).
Are the recipes kid friendly?
Yes, for the most part. You fill find recipes that are geared towards foodies at heart here on RAISE. However, most of the recipes are easy to make, don’t require loads of specialized tools, and are enjoyed by all members of the family.
I’m not gluten free. Is RAISE for me?
Yes! In fact, we have an exchange rate article just for you. We’ve reverse tested our recipes, and the great news is, for those who can have wheat, the recipes still work very well.
Once you’ve reversed a few recipes, you’ll see how easy it is, and will love the tasty foods you make here on RAISE.
When using wheat in our recipes, you may need to adjust your mixing times and baking times a bit to account for gluten.
I’m not egg free. Is RAISE for me?
Absolutely! We have an substitution/exchange rate article for you. We’ve reverse tested our recipes, and the great news is, you can use eggs in our recipes, and they still work very well.
Once you’ve reversed a few recipes, you’ll see how easy it is, and will love the tasty foods you make here on RAISE.
