The Gluten-Free Italian Cookbook
Author Mary Capone teaches us fine classic Italian dishes from her roots in the Italian Countryside. Upon reading The Gluten-Free Italian Cookbook, I felt a sense of warmth from the author as she opened her heart and the doors to her “world”—her past, her family, and her heritage. Mary grew up in New York in […]

Gluten-Free Bread Companies—An Overview
There is certainly no lack of options when it comes to gluten-free breads. Gluten-free for years, I’m lucky to have had the opportunity to try so many of them. The market is now full of gluten-free bread companies, offering breads, buns, rolls, and so much more, some of which are made to be nutrient-rich and […]
Crunchmaster Gluten Free Crackers
These Multi-Seed Crackers have crunch, flavor, and perfectly accompany any slice of cheese or dip and are great simply plain. The Roasted Garlic was not unlike a garlic cracker I used to eat prior to being diagnosed with celiac disease. The Sweet Onion was light but the crunch was perfect with the flavor. The plain […]

When you’re celiac, there are certain essentials you must arm yourself with. The Essential Gluten-Free Restaurant Guide, in its latest (fifth) edition, is one of those items you need if you’re on the gluten-free diet, especially if you like to eat out now and then or do any travelling. I love to cook and highly […]
Grace Island Specialty Foods Bakes Cheese Crisps
Grace Island Specialty Foods has a variety of gluten-free Baked Cheese Crisps. Each has a different flavor not due to just spices, but to the unique cheese selection in each cracker. These crackers are paper-thin, oval in shape, and each flavor offers its own recipe, often with sesame seeds added. We liked these crackers but […]

CheeCha Potato Puffs – Gluten Free
Four boxes arrived at both my Florida and L.A. studios full of a new product I had yet to come across: CheeCha Potato Puffs. Before tasting anything I wanted to be sure of the product’s adherence to gluten-free standards. I was immediately assured that the four products are all manufactured on a dedicated GF line […]
Chēbē – Gluten Free Company
Already a household name in the GF community Chēbē bread products again crossed my path and my staffed testing kitchens. We tested and nibbled on a variety of their products, and we have only positive things to share. It’s hard to choose a favorite, yet. I’d say I really took a liking to the […]

Katie Chalmers has achieved this with her unique picture book, Mommy, What Is Celiac Disease? After a child’s celiac diagnosis is made, there comes the inevitable talk when Mommy, Daddy, or both […]
Mr. Krispers Baked Rice Krisps
One of my favorites is Mr. Krispers Baked Rice Krisps. These little, flat, oval chips currently come in four flavors, Sour Cream & Onion, Nacho, Sea Salt & Pepper, and Barbeque. They are very light. In fact, 35 chips have only 120 calories—perfect for anyone watching their calories. The chips are made with brown rice […]
Kozy Shack Puddings
I was sent three products from Kozy Shack, Chocolate Mint, Chocolate Hazelnut, and Tapioca pudding—all gluten-free. The Tapioca and Chocolate Mint are sweetened with Splenda and the Hazelnut with sugar and natural flavors. The products with the Splenda left us with an aftertaste in our mouths after the first spoonful. They were creamy as a […]

Bionaturae (bee-oh-na-too-ray) is a family-owned organic company located in Italy. It translates to mean “organic nature.” We’ve tested their gluten-free pasta as well as their spreads, organic tomato sauce (in glass jars), balsamic vinegars, olive oils, and nectars. Each product we tested conveyed life an Italian organic farm. The products are pure. You simply taste […]

Biscottis, coffeecakes, tea loaves, brownies, and squares—all hand-crafted in a dedicated GF facility. All items are readily available to consumers online as well as wholesale. The storefront is the […]
Food Company Review: simplyrice™
Simplyrice™ rice crisps are gluten-free snacks with a kick. Each flavor is really a taste to be experienced. I love organic brown jasmine rice and this is the base for simply rice crackers. They have only four ingredients and all are 100% organic, according to the company: brown jasmine rice, sunflower oil, sea salt, and […]
Smart Treat – A Terrific Gluten-Free Company
(I am not paid or given any incentive to write one way or the other. What you are about to read is from me to you, my honest opinion.) Each Gluten-Free bite was unique, wholesome and had our taste buds asking for more. My Florida field testers and I had quite a reaction to the […]
