Kayla Cappiello has three dietary restrictions.Diagnosed with celiac disease, a lactose intolerance, and a nut allergy, she found a creative outlet in navigating her way through every day recipes and adjusting them to fit her dietary needs. She learned to use this process not only as a way to find inner peace and to accept her body's restrictions, but also as a way to connect with others over what our bodies need most-food. Navigating food can be hard. Kayla likes to keep her recipes fun, bright, and approachable-just like her! She is laid back, enjoys reading a good book, and also appreciates a good cocktail and cooking. She lives just outside New York City with her fiance and their dog, Beans.
