I’m Katarina Cermelj (Kat for short) and I’m the recipe developer, writer, photographer and food science nerd behind
The Loopy Whisk. I’m so excited that you’re here!
I founded The Loopy Whisk in late 2016, just before starting my PhD in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Oxford.
I’ve always loved food and baking in particular – but then in 2015, I had to eliminate gluten and dairy from my diet due to a whole host of health issues. And I encountered the question that all people with dietary requirements have to ask themselves at one time or another: what do I eat now?!
That was the beginning of my allergy friendly baking experiments.
My initial results were rather dismal but over time and with the help in my scientific background (and a good deal of stubbornness), I managed to develop allergy friendly recipes that are basically indistinguishable from their “regular” equivalents (and, importantly, that are also incredibly easy to make).
