Our story

Food should bring joy, not anxiety.

Simply Yummy was born from Dana's own kitchen — a place where every meal is crafted with care, and no one has to sit out at the table.

Our mission

We believe that living with food allergies or intolerances shouldn't mean settling for bland, boring meals. It should mean discovering a whole new world of flavour — safely.

Simply Yummy is a recipe destination built around you. Tell us what you can't eat, and we'll show you everything you can — across eight vibrant world cuisines, from Italian to Japanese to Middle Eastern.

Every recipe is crafted to be naturally delicious, not just "safe". Dana tests each dish in her own kitchen, refining until it's something she'd proudly serve to family and friends.

Safety first

From Dana's kitchen

Hi, I'm Dana. I started Simply Yummy after years of cooking for friends and family with a wide range of food allergies. I got tired of watching people push food around their plates at dinner parties, unsure if something was safe.

I wanted to create a place where the first question isn't "can I eat this?" — because that's already been answered. The only question left is "which one looks most delicious?"

Every recipe on this site has been made in my kitchen, adjusted until it's genuinely good — not just safe. I hope it brings the same joy to your table that it brings to mine.

— Dana
