I am a pastry chef at Malia Mediterranean Bistro in Battle Creek, Michigan.  I am passionate about making delicious desserts free of bleached flour, white sugar, corn syrup, and hydrogenated oils.  I use only whole food ingredients in my desserts at home and in the restaurant.  My recent fascination is the raw food movement, you can create surprisingly tasty desserts using no sugar, butter, or dairy products.

I want to use this blog to educate people about their food and show how healthy food is delicious and integrity of ingredients is of the utmost importance.
