I offer gluten-free baked goods for sale each week on Wednesday on a first-come first-serve basis. All of the baked goods are gluten-free, some are also dairy-free and egg-free, and are baked in small batches by me.
My next gluten-free baking day is Wednesday, March 10, 2010.
If you are interested in purchasing gluten-free baked goods, please contact me via email (janice@realfoodmadeeasy.ca) or on Twitter (@toots11) to let me know what you would like, and to arrange drop-off or pick-up. I also bake custom orders, so if you are craving something specific, give me an email with your request.
My kitchen is not an exclusively gluten-free kitchen, but I do take extra efforts to minimize cross-contamination and ensure a safe food-product.
- Wednesdays are designated as gluten-free baking days. No gluten-based food is baked or prepared on those days, and all equipment and surfaces are rigorously cleaned in advance. If I am baking special orders on days other than Wednesday, I also set the kitchen up for gluten-free only foods.
- I use separate baking pans, measuring cups, and mixing implements for baking gluten-free goods. These do not come in contact with any flours or ingredients that might contain gluten.
- All gluten-free flours are stored in sealed containers to avoid any cross contamination.
- I maintain designated “gluten-free” containers of common baking ingredients such as yeast, baking soda and baking powder, to minimize the risk of cross contamination.
While I take every effort to minimize cross contamination, I cannot guarantee that all traces of gluten will be eliminated, therefore, if you have severe gluten intolerences or have severe celiac symptoms, and you wish to have gluten-free baked goods, you can always contact me about options for producing baked goods in your own kitchen.
