Nicole Cogan is the founder of the incredibly popular food and wellness blog Nobread.com. Cogan and her blog have been featured in Buzzfeed, Tasting Table, Well + Good, the Wall Street Journal, and many other publications. Focussing on the best gluten-free products and recipes around as well as travel hacks, health and wellness tips and all other elements of the NOBREAD life, Cogan is now followed by more 215k followers on Instagram. She is also a TV host for CBS’s This is LA, and has appeared on NBC’s New York Live and The Dr. Oz Show.
Before her successful career in food and media, Cogan worked in Equity Sales at J.P. Morgan. She began her blog in 2009 out of personal need whilst working in her Wall Street job and discovering her gluten allergy and later her Celiac Disease diagnosis. Taking clients out to eat proved incredibly difficult, so she took it upon herself to change how restaurants catered to her allergy and other dietary restrictions by keeping a record of their accommodations and gluten-free options. After creating her first dining guide whilst living in New York City, she has now made popular NOBREAD dining guides for San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, DC and London. Her popular blog and Instagram has helped hundreds of thousands of followers with advice from how to navigate the menus at their own local eateries to the best gluten-free snacks.
