“Cooking allergen-friendly is not about being accommodating. It is about being inclusive, hospitable, and human. I entered the hospitality industry as a techie who wanted to help innovate because I loved food, and I had a lot to learn from the industry’s leaders before I could accomplish anything useful. Chefs Joel and Mary took me under their wing from the moment we met, teaching me the true meaning of “cooking from the heart” and inspiring me with their never-ending creativity and passion for finding new ways to make people happy through food. Sure, you can get recipes anywhere, but when you cook with Chefs Joel and Mary’s guidance, the results will be incomparably nourishing, inclusive for all your guests, and delicious (no matter who’s eating). You will not be able to help but smile a little more in the kitchen while you do your “choppy chops” and mise en place.”
