Leah Drumheller

The summer before my junior year of high school, I watched every episode of Chopped on Netflix—and something in me clicked. I’d always liked cooking, but that show opened my eyes to the creativity behind it. Suddenly, food became more than a hobby; it was a playground of flavors, textures, and ideas. My family happily became my taste-testers, and that season of experimenting shaped the way I cook today.

​

Everything shifted again when my mom and I discovered we had gluten intolerances. It became a new kind of challenge: could I create gluten-free meals that never felt like a compromise? Through trial, error, and plenty of kitchen messes, I refined my approach. (And yes—my family will absolutely confirm that the results were worth it.)

​

Cooking is now my favorite way to express creativity and to care for the people I love. Many of my recipes are inspired by the people closest to me, and my goal is always the same: make them feel seen, supported, and nourished. As I tell my husband, food is my love language—and every dish is truly made with love.

​

That heart is what inspired me to create Leah x Gluten Free: a place to share the recipes I craft with intention, joy, and a whole lot of flavor—always gluten-free, and never boring.

​

Thank you for being here.

 

I hope you can taste the love in every recipe.
