Allergy Dragon's Lair Podcast
Join Chef Martha and her literal Celiac sister Cindy in the Allergy Dragon’s Lair as they discuss their lives. Chef Martha also invites special guests from the specialty diet and allergy community to share their life experiences in the Lair. We hope to raise awareness of specialty diets and food allergies by sharing our personal stories with everyone. Allergy Dragon believes we are more than the foods we can’t eat, and we all deserve a delicious seat at the table. About the Host: Martha Morgan is a Specialty Diet & Allergy Chef and the creator of Allergy Dragon. Chef Martha started cooking in restaurants with her first job at 16; in 2014, she switched to institutional food service in a healthcare setting, and she officially launched Allergy Dragon in 2019. Chef Martha has now been cooking professionally for over 30 years. In 2003, she became a reluctant food allergy chef due to her youngest 1st anaphylactic reaction at 9 months old to strawberries, and their allergy list has now grown to over 30 food allergies. Finally, in 2009, Martha became a gluten-free chef due to her and two of her children’s Celiac disease diagnoses. Martha has made it her mission to advocate for Food Allergies and Celiac disease and share her belief that everyone deserves to eat delicious food. Chef Martha created Allergy Dragon to help bridge the gap between safe and delicious food.
