At least that’s always been my feeling. It’s their proprietary “superfine” brown rice flour grind, which completely eliminates the grittiness of a typical rice bread. They also have a garfava flour (half garbanzo and half fava bean) with no bean-y bitter aftertaste. How do they do that?

We don’t actually use the garfava in the bakery (just a personal bias against bean flours I guess) but we certainly depend on that superfine brown rice flour. It’s California-grown, too, which is nice. Last month we went through over 300 lb. of it. Read the rest of this entry »

By the middle of the day our pretty white tablecloth was covered in blueberry syrup stains, but nobody seemed to mind as they crowded around our table to taste hot belgian quinoa waffles….

So began Eugenie’s entry after the Celiac Disease Foundation Conference at the end of May. She continued….

I was a little star struck when I met the Celiac Chicks (check out their blog: www.celiacchicks.com). I have been reading their blog ….
It was also really great to meet Cameo LeBrun, the founder and president of Crave Bakery in San Francisco. Cameo started Crave in 2003 ….

Oh! So many of my heroes, all in one room! I’m definitely going to the CDF Conference next year if I have to sleep in a hotel for shabbat to do it!

Daniel is someone who’s been reading our blog, the old blog, through an aggegator (whatever that means — Google Reader, it turns out) and it SAVED the old material!

The record starts up in March, which is really where it got interesting anyway. [If, indeed, it ever did.] I’m going to go through and pick out the highlights and add back some pictures and post a few “retro” entries.

Which means, Daniel and others who already read this stuff, you may want to take us off your Google Reader for a little while — it’s going to be deja vu all over again.

May 6th?!? Was I tripping?
