Rewriting the Rules: Aran Goyoaga on Gluten Free Baking and Photography

This week on Kitchen Tape, Rose and Crystal sit down with Aran Goyoaga, the James Beard Award–winning creator of Cannelle et Vanille and author of multiple groundbreaking gluten-free baking books, including The Art of Gluten-Free Bread. We talk about building technical authority in a space once dismissed as niche, how Aran’s work has reshaped expectations around gluten-free bread and pastry, and what it means to evolve from blogger to bestselling author while holding onto craft. We also cover Aran's evolution, workflow and recommended practices for someone who wants to photogragh their own books. The conversation moves through innovation, testing, photography, and the discipline required to make alternative baking feel both rigorous and deeply nourishing.
