Claire Donovan is a molecular biologist, former biological laboratory analyst, and the founder of Gluten Free Feast. She holds a degree in Molecular Biology and Genetics from Boğaziçi University (Istanbul, Turkey). Her scientific background gives her a unique, evidence-based approach to gluten-free recipe development — understanding the molecular structure of gluten and how alternatives behave at a food science level. Every recipe on Gluten Free Feast is tested in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen and developed to be safe for coeliac disease and gluten sensitivity.
