Join Chef Martha and her literal Celiac sister Cindy in the Allergy Dragon’s Lair as they discuss their lives. Chef Martha also invites special guests from the specialty diet and allergy community to share their life experiences in the Lair. We hope to raise awareness of specialty diets and food allergies by sharing our personal stories with everyone. Allergy Dragon believes we are more than the foods we can’t eat, and we all deserve a delicious seat at the table. About the Host: Martha Morgan is a Specialty Diet & Allergy Chef and the creator of Allergy Dragon. Chef Martha started cooking in restaurants with her first job at 16; in 2014, she switched to institutional food service in a healthcare setting, and she officially launched Allergy Dragon in 2019. Chef Martha has now been cooking professionally for over 30 years. In 2003, she became a reluctant food allergy chef due to her youngest 1st anaphylactic reaction at 9 months old to strawberries, and their allergy list has now grown to over 30 food allergies. Finally, in 2009, Martha became a gluten-free chef due to her and two of her children’s Celiac disease diagnoses. Martha has made it her mission to advocate for Food Allergies and Celiac disease and share her belief that everyone deserves to eat delicious food. Chef Martha created Allergy Dragon to help bridge the gap between safe and delicious food.

  • Chef Martha Morgan Is April's Yes, Chef In-Residence! - Allergy Dragons' Lair Podcast EP8
    Apr 7 2026

    It’s an allergy friends-take-over in this Allergy Dragon’s Lair podcast episode. My local allergy friend Zoë Slaughter takes over this episode to interview me! Zoë, who is the food-allergic individual behind the blog & website Invisibly Allergic. Has a life-threatening peanut allergy causing anaphylaxis. She is cross-contact-reactive and airborne-reactive to peanuts.

    So, of course, she is the perfect person to take over this episode and ask me all about my April Chef-in-Residence at the Northeast regional library here in Louisville, Kentucky.

    If you are a food-reactive individual considering attending a free-to-the-public Chef-in-Residence program, what questions would you have? I understand the concerns of those with food allergies. Take the time to listen and share this episode to learn more about my plans for this April and the Yes, Chef in-residence program I am running. Did Zoë cover all of your questions, or do you have more? Please comment below or message me your questions.


    Denaturing the word I couldn’t say! Denaturing changes the structure of food proteins through heat, pH (e.g., using bleach), or processing. This alters how the immune system recognizes them, usually reducing allergic reactions by destroying structural binding sites (epitopes). However, denaturation can sometimes expose new sites, triggering different or new immune responses. Simply put, denaturation is a useful tool for reducing the risk of allergic reactions in some people, but it is not a cure-all, as some proteins remain allergenic even after structural alteration.

  • Is Worry Free Food Possible For People With Allergies? Allergy Dragon's Lair Podcast EP 7
    Mar 29 2026

    In this Season 4 Episode 7 of Allergy Dragon’s Lair Podcast, I am joined by Anthony Winston III, President of Worry Free Food, and Allergy Dad. Anthony speaks about how he and his wife Erin’s journey began with food allergies, and how Worry Free Food was born out of desperation.
    Having children with severe food allergies is challenging to say the least. More often than not, there are limited or, at times, no safe food options. Even worse than this is being given food that servers have verified as safe, only to end up in the hospital. The worry and anxiety that surrounds parents, and people living with food allergies 24-7, Anthony’s Family knows all too well. Simply put, they wanted to create a brand that lets people with certain food allergies eat yummy food just like everyone else, worry free!

  • Invisibly Allergic: A Memoir by Zoë Slaughter / Allergy Dragon's Lair Podcast
    Mar 8 2026

    In this Allergy Friends Episode, I am joined in the lair with my local food allergy BFF Zoë Slaughter, who is about to release her upcoming memoir, adding author to her list of achievements. You may know Zoë as the person behind the Invisibly Allergic website and blog. She is also my co-host and co-creator of our in-person, free monthly allergy & autoimmune meetup in Louisville, Kentucky.

    Invisibly Allergic: A Memoir by Zoë Slaughter is set to be available for purchase worldwide on March 10th, 2026, marking a major milestone in her journey. So, of course, we had to have a chat all about her debut publishing achievement. This book is for anyone navigating food allergies or supporting someone who is. Zoë also speaks to how she feels this book helps fill the gap in allergy publications for teens and adults living with food allergies.

    More about Zoë Slaughter: the food-allergic individual behind the blog & website Invisibly Allergic. She has a life-threatening peanut allergy causing anaphylaxis. She is cross-contact reactive & airborne reactive to peanuts. Zoë has lived with her life-threatening peanut allergy since the age of 2, and now, in her thirties, she is thriving. She also has eczema, autoimmune-related food sensitivities, and quite a few other environmental & chemical allergies.
