From Mandy:

I am a teacher and local business owner (La Nef Chocolate). I'm a chocolatier with a major sweet tooth. I've been dealing with an issue with inflammation of my joints since 2018. After my osteopath suggested an elimination diet to target the cause, I found that a gluten-free diet has been a game-changer. I've been gluten-free since 2019 (and our chocolate production has been gluten-free since 2023). I've been experimenting with eliminating other inflammatory foods since then (dairy, nightshades, refined sugars, soy, eggs, peanuts). I've tried a bunch of anti-inflammatory recipes and found that many of them are labor-intensive, use hard-to-find specialty ingredients, and then end up being disappointing. The recipes I'm sharing are relatively simple and delicious.
