Welcome, I’m so
glad you’re here!


My name is Jennifer Shun. I’m not a chef and I never went to culinary school. I love food, family meals and entertaining; and I'll admit my best memories are around the dinner table.

On Mother’s Day 2016, my daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. In an instant, something as simple as dinner seemed insurmountable.

In the months that followed, I read everything I could on diabetes. Then I went back into the kitchen and began to cook. Inspiration flowed, as I stirred and sautéed, and something beautiful began to form.

It’s from that place that I hope this resource will make your life a little easier … if not only a little more flavorful.

From my heart and hands, enjoy.
