About

Hey y'all!!

I'm Lyn Corinne Liner, the 'one-woman show' writer, recipe developer, and photographer behind A Sprinkling of Cayenne blog, and the creator of the Trinity Roux™.

I started A Sprinkling of Cayenne in 2016 to share my journey of transforming the beloved Cajun and Creole dishes of my native South Louisiana culture into gluten free versions that are just as authentic as the originals. 

Today, hundreds of recipes later, I am still passionate about updating South Louisiana cuisine classics into modern counterparts that keep this cherished culture alive and well for those of us who cannot tolerate wheat gluten. 

Who I Am

I am a mixed-race Creole with a bona fide Cajun mom. New Orleans is my birthplace, and I grew up nearby, eating red beans on Mondays, living off of stews all week, and fishing and trawling at my family's camp down in Buras on the weekends. 

Living deep within the Cajun culture is all that I know and love. So, when I found out that I was gluten intolerant in 2010, I immediately went to work figuring out how I was going to keep gumbos and etouffees a part of my daily life. And, I haven't stopped since, y'all!! 

I spent a lot of time and effort creating my grain and gluten free Trinity Roux™, which eliminates the need for traditional oil-and-flour roux. It's super special to me, and the numerous years that I spent developing it from nothing to what blog reader Jon S. says, "This Trinity Roux recipe is outstanding, and tastes like the original flour roux, if not better, without that heavy flour taste, it's lighter and just as fulfilling… 5-star blue ribbon," have been the most joyous, fulfilling years of my life.
