Lisa Stander-Horel

Lisa Stander-Horel and Tim Horel are the recipe writing and photography team behind the book, Nosh on This: Gluten Free Baking from a Jewish American Kitchen published by The Experiment (2013) and the baking blog, Gluten Free Canteen. Lisa's baking philosophy is pretty simple; baking gluten-free doesn't have to be taste or texture-free and whenever possible, use chocolate.

Lisa comes from a long line of bakers who emigrated from Eastern Europe to America. Over the past decade Lisa has successfully recreated these family recipes into a gluten-free Jewish Baking collection. Covered in gluten-free flour, Lisa can usually be found in the kitchen wielding some sort of spatula while developing and testing new recipes. Rest assured, chocolate will be nearby.

Tim Horel is the photographer for the Gluten Free Canteen blog and willingly shot all the photos for the Book of Nosh, creating a pictorial chronicle of the book's passage from concept (read: many early baking wrecks) to the final version (read: tested recipes that succeeded). He began his photography career taking macro photos of flowers, then children, then dogs, then dogs in Paris, then food in Paris, then gluten-free baked goodies created for the blog. Geek by day and photographer by night, Horel can often be spotted with a lens in one hand and a cookie in the other.

They have been experimenting with gluten-free baking recipe development for over a decade. Their work has been published in Living Without magazine, Salon, Huffington Post, Joy of Kosher, GourmetLive.com, BlogHer Food, and BurdaFood.net/Sweet Dreams magazine (Germany).
