Rie’s Kitchen

We are delighted to have Rie’s Kitchen as an exhibitor at our gluten-free expo in Melbourne.

For many years, Marie has provided friends with jams, sauces and relishes, made from her own garden or with produce donated by friends. In 2006, Marie established her business “Rie’s Kitchen” launching an online shop, Youtube Channel and blog.

The hobby has now grown, and Marie has expanded to provide cooking demonstrations at a range of community events and festivals including the Portarlington Mussel festival, Prahran market, libraries and local neighbourhood houses. “I always said when I grow up I want to be Maggie Beer, and when I turned 40, my girlfriend Jenny asked how old do you need to be to be grown up?”

Rie’s Kitchen focusses on locally produced products. Marie personally knows the grower of all her main ingredients. In 2008 Marie was diagnosed with Coeliac’s disease. For a “foodie” this diagnosis was at first devastating. Now all Rie’s Kitchen products and recipes are gluten free.

Since her diagnosis, Rie has worked to develop gluten-free recipes that are as close to “normal” as possible. Rie is currently finalising her new cookbook – “Journeys” following on from her first “Origins”. On YouTube, Rie’s Kitchen has over 80 recipes and videos showing you the tricks to have perfect results everytime!
