Welcome to Emily’s Gluten Free
Hi, I’m Emily, and I believe eating gluten-free shouldn’t hold you back from enjoying the foods you love. My mission is to make gluten-free living simple and delicious through easy-to-follow recipes and helpful tips.
My Coeliac Diagnosis
My story begins with my coeliac disease diagnosis at the age of four. I was constantly tired and could barely get off the sofa to play. After a series of tests, I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2000. A gluten-free diet transformed me back into a healthy, energetic child, but it wasn’t without its challenges—especially when gluten-free food wasn’t as tasty or accessible as it is today.
A Journey of Gluten-Free Cooking
As I got older, I discovered a love for cooking and began experimenting with gluten-free recipes. When I was deciding on my GCSEs in secondary school (Years 10 and 11 in the UK), I knew I wanted to learn a skill I could carry into the real world, and food tech was one of those options. I chose food tech for my last year in Year 11 and IT in Year 10. These subjects helped me build the foundation for what would later become emily’s gluten free.
What started as a hobby soon became a passion for sharing easy, accessible recipes that would help others avoid the struggles my family faced during my early years of diagnosis.
How Emily’s Gluten Free Was Born
In 2013, after being inspired by the film ‘Julie and Julia,’ I decided to put my favourite gluten-free recipes online. With the help of my brothers, we launched "Emily’s GF Recipes" (now emily’s gluten free), offering a growing collection of gluten-free dishes that anyone could try. It started small, but as word spread, the site’s popularity grew. Today, it’s filled with over 180 recipes, from cakes and desserts to main meals.
From Emily’s GF Recipes to Emily’s Gluten Free
In 2021, I rebranded the website to emily's gluten free with fresh colours, a new logo, and a new look. My aim is still the same: to provide simple, delicious recipes that make gluten-free cooking accessible for everyone—whether you’re coeliac yourself or cooking for someone who is.
