The latest winner of the “Next Food Network Star” may use traditional bread products on her show, but her personal preference seems to be gluten-free. In a blog post last May, Aarti Sequiera wrote that she “broke up” with gluten after she discovered that the baked goods she loved so much were actually causing a rash. [For the latest research on the connection between psoriasis and gluten intolerance, click here.]

Since then, Sequeira has continued to reference her gluten-free diet, including this recipe for salmon cakes using ground up gluten-free pretzels.

Despite her gluten avoidance off-screen, Sequeira still includes gluten in her on-screen dishes. But, as Gluten Freeville points out, the recipes can be easily adapted using gluten-free alternatives.
