If healthy baking has left you frustrated, here is why
You have probably tried at least one of these.
The recipe said healthy. The cake came out dense and dry.
You followed every step and it still failed. You do not know what went wrong, so you cannot fix it next time.
You swapped one ingredient and the texture fell apart.
Sugar for a sweetener, wheat flour for almond flour. Nobody told you the ratios, so the result was a guess.
You keep buying expensive ingredients and throwing batches away.
After a few failures you go back to the old recipe, because at least that one works.
You eat a traditional dessert and feel bloated, tired or guilty.
You are tired of choosing between enjoying a dessert and feeling well afterwards.
You are doing all of this alone.
When a recipe fails at nine in the evening there is nobody to ask, and the next attempt is another guess.
None of this is your fault. You were taught to follow recipes, not to understand them. That is what changes here.
What changes for you inside the program
You rescue your family recipes.
You pick up your grandmother's cake and know which swaps keep it moist, hold it together and keep the taste you remember.
You eat dessert and feel well afterwards.
No sugar crash, no bloating, no guilt, because you choose ingredients that nourish you and you know how to make them work.
You bake for everyone at the table.
Coeliac disease, diabetes, lactose intolerance, a vegan diet. You know what to use for each one, and they ask for seconds.
You never bake alone again.
Every month you bring your questions, your photos and your failures to a live session with Leonor and leave with answers.
You create your own desserts.
By the end you are not adapting recipes any more. You are writing them, with templates that work every time.
Made with what you learn here

You will get the most out of this program if
- You love desserts and you want to keep eating them without feeling unwell afterwards.
- You or someone you cook for has a food sensitivity, intolerance or restriction.
- You have tried gluten-free, dairy-free or sugar-free baking and the results disappointed you.
- You want to understand what you are doing in the kitchen, not just follow steps.
- You want someone experienced to ask when things go wrong.
It is probably not for you if
- You believe a dessert only tastes good with white sugar, white flour and butter.
- You are not curious about what is actually inside your dessert.
- You are looking for a quick fix. This is a method you learn once and keep for life.
- You think feeling good means giving up dessert. Here, dessert stays.

Who will be answering your questions every month
I'm Leonor Capristano. For more than ten years I worked as a professional baker and cake designer. Then food intolerances changed what I could eat, and every dessert I loved became a problem.
I spent three years studying nutrition and became an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, because I wanted to understand, not guess. Today I bake desserts that are gluten-free, dairy-free and refined-sugar-free, and they taste the way desserts should.
I built this program so you can do the same. And I added a full year of live sessions because I remember exactly how it feels to stand in the kitchen with a failed cake and nobody to ask.

Questions you may still have
Do these desserts actually taste good?
Yes. Every recipe in the program was tested on people who eat traditional desserts, including Leonor's own family. You learn how to adjust sweetness, texture and flavour until the result tastes the way you expect a dessert to taste.
Are functional desserts really healthy?
They are made with whole ingredients, without refined sugar, gluten or dairy, and you learn what each ingredient does in your body. You will still eat them in sensible portions, but you will not get the crash or the bloating you get from the traditional version.
I have coeliac disease, diabetes or allergies. Can I use these recipes?
Yes. Every recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free and refined-sugar-free, and Module 3 teaches you how each ingredient behaves so you can adapt for your specific needs. If you have a medical condition, keep following your doctor's advice.
Is it difficult to make functional desserts?
No. It is different, not harder. Once you know the swaps and the ratios, which is exactly what the program teaches, a functional cake takes the same time as a traditional one.
Are the ingredients hard to find or expensive?
Most of them are in any supermarket today: oats, almonds, coconut, dates, cocoa, eggs. You will learn which ones are worth buying and which ones you can skip, so you stop wasting money on products you do not need.
Do I need baking experience?
No. Module 1 starts with the basics: tools, pans, temperatures and portions. If you have never baked, you start there. If you are experienced, you will move faster and get more out of Modules 4 and 5.
When are the live sessions?
There is one live Q&A session and one cook-along session every month, on Zoom. The day and time are announced inside the student community, and every session is recorded.
What if I cannot attend a live session?
You send your question in advance, Leonor answers it in the session, and you watch the recording whenever it suits you. You lose nothing.
How long do I have access?
The lessons, PDFs and bonuses are yours for life. The live mentorship (monthly sessions, cook-alongs, feedback, community and direct messages) lasts 12 months from the day you join.
How do I get feedback on my own recipes?
You post a photo or the recipe in the student community or send it to Leonor directly, and you get specific notes on what to change. You can also bring it to the next live session.
How does the payment plan work?
You can pay €299 once, or 4 monthly payments of €87.50 (total €350). You get full access from the first payment.
What if it is not for me?
You have 14 days to try the program. If it is not what you need, write to support@leonors.com and you get a full refund. No forms, no questions.
