Tara: I'm Tara and I'm mom to Cody who is allergic to eggs, peanuts, dairy, chicken, wheat and now also sesame and sunflower seed.

He was diagnosed as a baby with food allergies, eczema, and asthma. My husband and I also have severe food allergies (fish, shellfish and tree nuts) and I have asthma.

I'm comfortable with, and passionate about, cooking good and nutritious food. And as the daughter of a dietician who worked in the food industry, I felt I had a strong understanding of nutrition and food preparation. Still, I was overwhelmed by the challenge of making meals for my son. I also felt isolated, so I decided to start this blog as a place where parents of kids and anyone with food allergies and intolerances can share stories, information and recipes.

All of my recipes are free of the top 8 allergens (peanut, tree nuts, eggs, dairy, wheat, fish, shellfish and soy). Most are also (or can easily be adapted to be) corn, gluten, sesame-free and vegan.

I believe that allergy-friendly food can and should taste good! Welcome to my adventures in Cooking for Cody!

Cody, my husband, Josh, and I live in Tampa, FL with our German Shepherd, Schatzie.
