On the bookshelf: Cooking for Isaiah: Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Recipes for Easy Delicious Meal. A second cookbook is in the works, and a digital gluten-free food & lifestyle magazine called Easy Eats will launch in the fall.
Why we’re fans: As a published cookbook author and former editor in chief of Every Day with Rachael Ray, Silvana has a lot of clout in the food industry. But she also is just a mom looking for good food to feed her kids. Her Mini Mac & Cheese Cakes were a hit among all age groups at Appetite for Awareness 2010, and recipes for important foods like birthday cake ensure that gluten-free families don’t miss out on life’s little (or big) celebrations.

Silvana’s Story: My now 14-year old son Isaiah was diagnosed as gluten intolerant 4 years ago, which changed the direction of our lives forever, like so many other families.
According to Silvana: The most unexpected part of going gluten-free was that Isaiah was open to trying so many new foods, which expanded his whole eating experience beyond his classic white foods diet.
A taste of Silvana’s Kitchen:
- My Gluten-Free Sandwich Breadventure
- Gluten-Free Chocolate-Coated Marshmallow-Topped Vanilla Cupcakes
- Gluten-Free Sticky Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes with Maple Icing

I had the pleasure of meeting and “hanging out” with Silvana at the GFAF Expo earlier this month. We had a great time and much in common to share.
Her jalapeno popper waffles were the talk of the Expo for sure. 
Silvana’s also very open and gracious about sharing her experiences with a teenager eating on his own/making his own choices. I think those are important discussions to have, so I thank her for those posts as well as her recipes!
