About

Welcome to From Lorian’s Kitchen!

I have had a complicated relationship with food for most of my life. My name is Lorian, and over the years I have spent countless hours perfecting recipes that are every bit as flavorful and satisfying as traditional favorites.

For most of my adult life I have been gluten-free and dairy-free diet because it makes me feel better but, I have to avoid meat from four-legged animals, becuase I am truly allergic to red meat. That means many of my meals include poultry and fish proteins, along with plant-based alternatives. My cooking journey has continually evolved as my family’s dietary needs have changed. My daughter was vegan for many years, so I learned how to create holiday meals and everyday dishes without meat, dairy, or eggs. Now that she’s a dairy-free pescatarian, I’ve embraced yet another exciting chapter in the kitchen, discovering new ingredients, techniques, and recipes along the way.

Throughout the years, friends and family have constantly asked for my recipes, especially after seeing the dishes I share on Facebook. Their encouragement inspired me to create From Lorian’s Kitchen—a place where I can share recipes, cooking tips, and ideas with anyone navigating food allergies, food sensitivities, or specialized diets.

My goal is simple: to prove that dietary restrictions don’t have to mean sacrificing flavor. Whether you’re gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, pescatarian, vegan, cooking for someone you love, or simply looking for delicious recipes, I hope you’ll find inspiration here.

I’m a native New Yorker who has happily called Maryland area home for more than 30 years. I share my life with my wonderful family, two cats, and two dogs, and I’m excited to welcome you into my kitchen.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you’ll stay awhile, try a few recipes, and discover that eating differently can still be incredibly delicious.
