Hi, I’m Sara K.— food allergy mom, maker and baker.
“Whatever you love to eat, we can find a way to make it so you and yours can share the experience of enjoying it together.”
When my daughter Cora was 9 months old, she grabbed a waffle loaded with peanut butter off of my breakfast plate and ate it. Within seconds the reaction started: sneezing, coughing, wheezing, hives, crying and struggling to breathe. The next terrifying two hours would forever change our lives.
Thankfully we were already on our way to the pediatrician that morning—for a wellness check in—and she survived this first of several harrowing, life-threatening anaphylactic food allergy experiences.
Today, our family, friends and community help Cora manage severe food allergies to eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame and shellfish. Every day, every meal, every snack, dessert, drink and treat requires consistent and confident vigilance.
We understand the importance of clear communication, taking responsibility and building trust to ensure that foods are safe for anyone who’s living with food allergies.
Kettle Provisions recognizes that solutions for enjoying meals at home or out and about, and especially at celebrations and throughout the holidays can—and must—be unique to each person’s distinct food allergy requirements. While there may be 9 “Top Allergens” there are infinite combinations thereof, and there are many other foods that also provoke allergic responses.
For those who manage food allergies, our goal is to create and customize these go-to assets to serve you and those around your table:
Working pantry
Fool-proof recipe collection
Entertaining practice
Dining out checklist
Communication strategies
We also coach food service providers on safely and inclusively accommodating food allergies using Universal Design Principles.
For more than 14 years, Cora and I have invested our time, energy, creativity and countless hours of trial and error learning how to source and make delicious allergy-friendly foods that are safe, nutritious, gorgeous and mouth-watering despite being free of some of the most common sweet and savory ingredients.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed or looking to spice up your repertoire, we get it and we’ve got you.
Let’s eat!
Sara K.
