About
Amanda Orlando
Hello reader, I'm Amanda! I’m a thought leader within the food allergy community, sharing new ideas and thoughtful perspectives. My goal is to inspire confidence in my readers.
I have a mindful and holistic approach to managing food allergies with confidence, connecting food, body, and mind. Sharing bright and bountiful recipes using whole food ingredients inspires readers to be creative with the foods they can have, instead of focusing on what is off-limits. Anxiety and the emotional side of living with food allergy is another big focus here. I share my own personal experiences and strategies for managing food and allergic reaction anxiety and PTSD.
My writing focuses primarily on the teenage and adult allergy experience, but not exclusively. When I started blogging I did it out of frustration with not being able to find other bloggers that were writing about what I was dealing with emotionally and socially as an adult with allergies. The resources at the time were mainly educational and institutional, and I desired something more.
I live with multiple anaphylactic food allergies. I've lived with this immune disease since birth, so I have a wealth of experience to share with my readers.
I am the author and photographer of Easy Allergy-Free (2022, Rockridge Press), Everyone's Welcome (2019, Touchwood Editions), and Allergen-Free Desserts (2015, Skyhorse publishing) cookbooks. I previously blogged under the name "Amanda's Recipes". I’m located in Toronto, Canada.
I welcome guest writers and partnership opportunities with like-minded brands.
