Hi Everyone! I'm Catherine and I have severe food allergies. Advocating for food allergies is one of my passions and through publishing Cook It Up, I was able to share my allergy friendly recipes with everyone! It is important to educate everyone about the importance of food allergies to spread awareness and understanding.
I hope you enjoy my recipes, blog posts, and videos!
Cook It Up is an allergy friendly cookbook with all of my original recipes, now I want to share more recipes through my blog. I hope you enjoy!

INSPIRATION
I was inspired to write Cook It Up because of how much cooking safe food impacted my childhood. I always look forward to trying new things and cooking with my family. When I became interested in creating my own recipes, my mind was always flowing with new ideas for something to make. I noticed as far as cookbooks went, there were never many teen authors, especially with allergy cookbooks. I wanted to change that and be able to provide easy, delicious, allergy friendly recipes for people like me.
COOK IT UP
Cooking has always been very important in my family. It is a way for us to all connect and have nice social time together. Ever since I was little I have cooked allergy friendly meals with my family because I am not able to eat at restaurants often. Over the years making recipes has been a way for me to share my love of cooking with the world. Cooking has always been a part of my life and using it to advocate for food allergies has been amazing.
