About Three Squares
I’m Riki Shore. I started Three Squares in April, 2011 to share how I keep meals healthy, affordable, delicious, and gluten-free. I designed the site, take most of the photos, and write all the posts, except when noted otherwise.
Before starting Three Squares, I graduated from the French Pastry School and worked at Charlie Trotter’s in Chicago. After deciding that restaurant work was too challenging for a mother of a young daughter, I decided to focus on food writing.
Since finishing culinary school, I’ve spent time in Los Angeles and Durham, North Carolina. Six months ago, I moved with my family to Fife, Scotland, a beautiful area of rolling farmland and the historic town of St Andrews (golf, anyone?).
I continue to be inspired by and learn from the work of professional chefs, and I enjoy teaching other home cooks how to elevate their daily cooking while still keeping it healthy and affordable. Since moving to the UK I’ve learned a lot about British cuts of meat and traditional preparations from the likes of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Yolam Ottolenghi, the folks at The Ginger Pig and The British Larder.
You can find more of my recipes on Robb Wolf, Crossfit Monrovia Nutrition pages, and my Gluten-Free Dining Out Guide on the Patch. I’ve also guest-posted on Nom Nom Paleo.

Great to hear from you! I met my husband in Rockport, Maine. What a beautiful place. We’re in NC, getting ready to move to Scotland this summer. Grand for sure. Take care!
Hi Rikki,
Just read your post that you’re moving to Scotland – I’m an American (originally from Boston) and have lived outside of Glasgow for the last 13 years. So I have plenty of experience of an American learning to live here – so please get in touch if you have any questions or just need to gripe (yes it is true there are no electrical outlets allowed in bathrooms – nuts!)
Best of luck with your move and feel free to get in touch!

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for reaching out. I’m going to save your email address and send you some questions privately as they arise. Right now my mind is spinning!
