Welcome to A Nourishing Plate
The destination for Flexible dairy free recipes
Have food allergies or dietary restrictions?
Then you likely have felt overwhelmed and isolated.
If you’ve ever felt like “why me?”, I get it.
I found out about my dairy allergy when I was 29, so it was a whole new learning curve in the kitchen.
The recipes I found not only lacked flavor but many times, they didn’t turn out and I didn’t know how to fix them to make them taste better.
But that’s a thing of the past now. And the truth?
My constraints were good for my creativity and resourcefulness. AKA they forced me to become a better cook, which over time made me more confident in the kitchen.
Following a recipe doesn’t make you a better cook, improved cooking skills come from making cooking a habit and using your senses to guide you.
As Samin Nosrat says, “Cooking is all about using your senses – especially common sense”.
Confidence in the kitchen starts from making small changes based on how something tastes, looks, and smells, which is something a recipe can’t tell you.
The recipes on A Nourishing Plate are meant to be used as a guide or starting point of inspiration for your next meal.
How can you make a small change based on what you have on hand or to fit your preferred tastes or dietary needs?
My website is a place for home cooks who want to be more confident in the kitchen (regardless of how you eat), but feel overwhelmed and don’t know where or how to start.
