Hi! I’m Leonor.
Nothing makes me happier than indulging in a chocolate dessert. Anything with chocolate is attractive and irresistible to me—but honestly, I love all desserts.
I spent 10 years as a professional baker and cake designer in Germany, creating elaborate traditional desserts for celebrations and special occasions. Then everything changed when I was diagnosed with multiple food intolerances—gluten, dairy, and refined sugar were suddenly off-limits.
I had two choices: give up the desserts I loved, or completely revolutionise my approach to baking. I chose the latter.
What began as a personal health necessity became my greatest professional breakthrough. I discovered functional baking—using nutrient-dense ingredients that actually support your body instead of working against it. I was sceptical at first (would it actually taste good?), but after countless tests and refinements, I created desserts that are indistinguishable from traditional versions in taste and texture, yet leave you feeling energised instead of guilty.
That “devastating” diagnosis? It became the best thing that ever happened to my baking career.
Today, as a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and functional baker, I help others transform their favourite desserts into functional treats—without sacrificing the beauty, taste, or joy that makes desserts special.
All my desserts are gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free. Many are vegan, and all my recipes are easily adaptable for people managing diabetes. I teach you exactly how to do this in my Functional Desserts Masterclass.
My mission? To help everyone with food restrictions—or anyone following a special diet—learn how to transform or create recipes adapted to their individual health needs, so they can keep enjoying delicious desserts without compromising their health, just like I did.
I wish you all a sweet, happy day!
Leonor
