the story of us <3

What do you do when, as a chef and baker, you suddenly find out you can no longer eat most of the food you’ve enjoyed all your life? 

When Ross was diagnosed with Celiac disease in the height of summer 2025, we both held our breath about what that meant.

The changes that would be necessary to his lifestyle, the impact of years of not knowing, what it meant for the future.

What came after was a goal to have all the things he loved without any of the consequences.

We started working on a recipe

Originally, the bake at home gluten-free bread wasn’t cutting it

So we started with pasta which was something we knew we couldn’t (I really couldn’t) live without.

This was fairly simple for us to replicate just from the nature of pasta itself – no one needs spaghetti to rise and puff up – but we missed bread.

Sandwiches, toast, buns, anything yeasted and fluffy. We found ourselves back to bread in September.

Months of trials began in our small apartment kitchen

leaving the telltale signs of a good baking day when you could still see the tapioca starch fingerprints on the counter and smell the distinct scent of blooming yeast still hanging in the air.

I’ll be honest... most initial trials weren’t fantastic.

But after many small loaves, gummy loaves, and sad loaves, we –

like Goldilocks found the recipe that was just right by the end of November of that year. 

But then it sat ...

and we didn’t touch the recipe for 3 months.

When we came back to it, to try and get even closer to the regular sandwich loaf that we missed, it was a failure :(

Unwilling to accept defeat,

Ross tweaked the recipe a final time in February and it was perfect. 

So perfect, we fooled our families. 

And from there, we realized we couldn't keep it a secret.

With our time in restaurants behind us and schooling in marketing and accounting to push us forward

We knew we had a foundation to grow this simple idea into something that could be enjoyed by all.

Being ones to know firsthand that ordering GF can leave you with poor alternatives to the real deal (who seriously wants celery instead of crostini?)

We strive to bridge the gap in the GF space so you aren't left grieving the foods you miss.

We're so excited to have you along the journey <3
