I was recently diagnosed with a syndrome called PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) which is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. The medicine that I’m required to take makes it to where I can’t eat gluten.

I already loved cooking but never considered it as a career choice, until now. Becoming gluten free pushed me to come up with my own culinary ideas! While my mom and I were cooking in the kitchen, I came up with this homemade buttery marinara recipe. I made it for my grandfather, who for some reason hates garlic, and he immediately fell in love with it! Since that day I am motivated to continue on my culinary journey.
