Cooking made healthy and adaptable for all

Vegan and low protein, and Gluten Free cooking

Vegan foods aren’t necessarily low in protein and neither are gluten free. This site mostly uses medical foods but some recipes are vegan also. Gluten Free will normally cut a few grams of protein but not always so I tend to stick to them also. Recipes can be adapted for anyone. I encourage you to use my recipes and videos as a guide and adapt as you see fit. Feel free to contact me if you have questions. Most recipes can be seen on YouTube. I have my site listed under my name Joanna Ball (@rare_chef).
