Let me show you how making it fresh, & the way you want it, is much easier than you think.
Gusto, like many businesses, evolved from a need in my own life. I was a mom with a struggle to make dinners.
I had a child with a sensitivity to gluten & a longing for his favorite comfort foods (naan was most definitely one!)
As a pastry chef of nearly two decades, & the more important career of mother, I felt compelled to try & deliver.
“A pastry chef? No problem for you!” they said. “It’ll be easy for you” they said!
Clueless, but determined, I navigated a new way to feed my son, myself and many others over the years.
The trials were done, repeatedly. Now I hand over this labor of love to you. Impress family, friends and yourself. You got this!
About me: I love what I do!
I'm a graduate of The Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts & a certified holistic chef. I love healthy food, & sweet treats.
For 12 years I had the honor of owning a wedding cake business - Aeyra Cakes.
I opened a chocolate business in 2012 & won two International awards for my Dolce Vita: White chocolate, raspberry, lemon & toasted almond.
I love cookbooks & wrote an Italian one, Desserts with Gusto.
I bought a Nikon DSLR many years ago & enjoy styling & capturing my creations.
And lastly, figuring out the nuances of gluten free flours & their finicky nature has been a journey of passion.
Bake with gusto, friends!
