Welcome to Nyssa’s Kitchen!
A space centered on the simple belief that dairy-free and gluten-free food should be full of flavor, comfort, and joy.
This is a place for crave–worthy recipes that are truly worth the effort, and never feel like a compromise. The kind of food you’re excited to cook, proud to serve, and genuinely satisfied eating – whether you’re cooking for yourself or for a full table.
Delicious and nourishing meals that fit easily into your everyday life.
Because food is meant to be enjoyed.
🌿 Nyssa’s Kitchen is run by Nyssa Tanner, who develops, tests, and photographs every recipe shared here. The site began as a way to reimagine comforting, familiar dishes through a GF & DF lens while honoring the flavors that make them feel special and worth returning to.

👉🏼 You may notice that a small number of recipes on Nyssa’s Kitchen do include dairy (usually cheese). When they do, it’s always optional or easily substituted with a dairy-free alternative, such as a plant-based cheese, so you can make the recipe work for you.
Many recipes also naturally fall into the paleo-friendly or Whole30-compatible categories and are categorized as such in the recipe index.
