Paperback Cafe

This weekend the SGFA hosted a completely gluten free buffet dinner at the Paperback Cafe, a delicious restaurant offering gluten free food in Old Saybrook, CT. We were served pesto pasta, a tasty garden salad, and scrumptious Chicken Parmesan, all of which was gluten free. They also served prosciutto like appetizers which were great. The Paperback Cafe is an excellent restaurant that all Celiacs should try. On their normal menu they serve an array of gluten free foods including pan pizza and apple French Toast for breakfast.

Bread!!??

Having trouble finding a good gluten free bread?
Most Glutino bread products are great, whether they are bagels, English muffins, bread, or pizza crusts. However, as many of us know, these can certainly rack up a huge bill. It's much cheaper to bake your own bread. I use the Pamela's bread mix. It's easy to
bake and it's flavorful, nutritious, fluffy, and delicious. After baking, I cut it into slices and freeze it. When I want a slice, I take one out of the freezer and throw it in the toaster. (All gluten free bread should be kept frozen until eaten and toasted before eating, or it crumbles horribly.)

I tend to stay away from the rice breads because they are very dense.
