Episode 42: Behind the Blog: Nicole Hunn of “Gluten Free on a Shoestring” on Gluten-Free Baking, Cookbooks, and Why Flour Matters

On this episode of Gluten-Free Unwrapped, we welcome Nicole Hunn, the mastermind behind Gluten Free on a Shoestring. Nicole is a bestselling cookbook author, prolific recipe creator, blogger, and entrepreneur.

We dive deep into Nicoleโ€™s journey – starting from her early days navigating life as a new mom with a son diagnosed with celiac disease, to leaving her career as a lawyer to start one of the most influential gluten-free blogs in the world.

Nicole shares the personal and practical inspiration behind her cookbooks, her philosophy on creating nostalgic โ€œfavoriteโ€ recipes, and the story of how she created her all-purpose gluten-free flour blend.

In this episode, youโ€™ll hear Nicoleโ€™s expert insights on:

  • How she navigated the early days of gluten-free cooking for her son and turned frustration into a blog and cookbook series.
  • Her best recipe hacks and advice for baking gluten-free with confidence (hint: flour blends matter more than you think.)
  • How changes in blogging, social media, and the digital landscape are shaping the future of recipe creators.
  • Nicoleโ€™s personal reflections, proudest accomplishments, and her goals for the future.
