FROM A SISTER-FRIEND she’s known since age 15 and others adopted along the way, Shauna James Ahern learned to be herself, and unafraid. Those traits, combined with her exceptional culinary creativity, put the Gluten-Free Girl at the center of a sisterhood (and a brotherhood) of passionate cooks who follow a gluten-free diet but don’t compromise their palates. Read her story in the TSP Galleries, which we’re reprising after seeing news that Shauna will be teaching food writing online this fall; we wanted to make sure all you food-mad sisters knew. See you in class?

Shauna James Ahern
L ITTLE BEAN, AKA LUCY MARIE AHERN, TURNS 1 TODAY. No, she technically isn’t our sister, but her mama, Gluten-Free Girl Shauna James Ahern is, as you may recall from the profile TSP ran on her. Go check out how mama and papa (The Chef) are celebrating a miraculous year of medical dramas, triumphs, and the biggest love (which comes in small packages), and give Little Bean our love, won’t you? She’s delicious, and you can get to know her here. (Photo by the amazing photographer Clare Barboza.)

First time here? Here's the idea: TSP is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in-friendship or in-feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: 
As the suffix of its name suggests, 
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.
