“The way I came up with my recipe was that I read the rules with my mom. We thought a little, jotted down some ideas, and came up with one we liked,” says Ingrid. “And now I know for real that my mom and I make a really great cooking pair. The salmon recipe was my great-grandfather’s recipe. But the salad recipe is mine. It’s gluten-free, which is important, because I have celiac disease. But I think anyone would like it.”
