Animal-Based Treats (Carnivores Crave Cookies Too!) with Kristeva Dowling! 976
Description
Kristeva Dowling is a Canadian entrepreneur, small farmer, and founder of Tallow & Crumb, an animal-based baking company built around a simple idea: carnivores crave cookies too.
She created the company while trying to solve her own struggle with sugar cravings without turning to ultra-processed “keto” products. The result was a baking mix built with nutrient-dense ingredients such as whole milk powder, collagen, and gelatin rather than modern fillers and gums.
Kristeva also runs Stolen Harvest Meadery, an Alberta craft meadery producing small-batch meads made from local honey, wild fruit, and botanicals. Her work focuses on capturing the “taste of Alberta” through traditional fermentation and regional ingredients.
With a master’s degree in social Anthropology, Kristeva brings a broader perspective to conversations about food, agriculture, and health. She is also the author of Chicken Poop for the Soul: In Search of Food Sovereignty, a book exploring the cultural, economic, and political forces shaping modern food systems. Her work sits at the intersection of ancestral nutrition, small-scale agriculture, and building real food businesses outside industrial supply chains.
