Helen’s Gluten-Free Culinary Journey
Welcome to Recipes of Me!
About Helen Tois: Hi there! I’m Helen Tois, a 45-year-old home chef, gluten-free recipe developer, and the heart behind Recipes of Me. What started as a blog sharing my love for global flavors has evolved into a trusted resource for gluten-free cooking.
Here, you’ll find easy, flavorful gluten-free recipes that celebrate the comfort of American classics, the vibrancy of Australian cuisine, and the bold spices of African dishes—without the gluten, but never without the joy.
About Helen Tois: My Story: Why Gluten-Free?
Eight years ago, I began this blog to prove that great food doesn’t need to be complicated. I faced a new challenge: recreating my favorite dishes safely, without compromising taste or texture.
After countless kitchen experiments (and a few failed loaves of bread!), I mastered the art of gluten-free cooking. Now, I’m passionate about helping others navigate this lifestyle with stress-free recipes, smart ingredient swaps, and foolproof tips—because no one should miss out on delicious food.
