Culinary Creativity Cover

Culinary Creativity features:

  • Over 110 recipes from breakfast to dessert without gluten, dairy, soy, cane sugar, nightshades, or baker’s yeast (105 recipes can also be corn-free)
  • 32 adorable Japanese-inspired bento lunches created from yesterday’s meals
  • Nutritional information for each recipe
  • Hard cover with a lay flat binding (stays open and flat on the counter top for easy recipe following.)

Dawn became determined to cook delicious gluten-free and dairy-free foods when both she and her baby needed to be on a special diet. At first the diet felt restrictive. But Dawn soon realized there were many delicious foods available, so she began to re-create her favorite foods with new ingredients.

Dawn’s lifelong passion for art found expression in her new-found love of cooking when she adopted the Japanese tradition of creating whimsical bento lunches for her daughters each morning.

Now her kids have fun lunches, her husband enjoys great dinners, and Dawn eats homemade ice cream every night.

Life is delicious.
