Founder story

Meet Tatiana Bakharevskaya

I was born in Moscow, Russia, and now live in Berkshire, UK. I created this platform from my own experience of living with severe food allergies and dietary restrictions. My husband is lactose intolerant, and I also went through a period when I had to avoid both lactose and gluten, so I understand how difficult it can be to find safe, delicious meals that still feel comforting and familiar.

Around 2.4 million adults in the UK have a clinically confirmed food allergy, while many more experience adverse reactions to food without a formal diagnosis. Yet traditional recipe platforms rarely combine reliable allergen filtering with practical adaptations of the familiar dishes people grew up with.

Food has always been at the heart of my family traditions. Through this project, I’m bringing together the rich flavours of Eastern European and British cuisine with my passion for technology and AI to make allergen-aware cooking simpler, safer, and more enjoyable. My goal is to help people cook with confidence and make everyday food choices a little easier.
