I also work as a sign language interpreter, educator and author. My study of Deaf culture has taken me around the world, where I am always on a quest to find Deaf-owned restaurants. I love making connections between my different worlds, for example in this AFAR story where I share \u003ca href=\"https://www.afar.com/magazine/tips-from-a-sign-language-interpreter-for-overcoming-language-barriers\">tips for communicating across cultures\u003c/a> that I learned from the real experts, Deaf people.

"content": "\u003cp>For the 3 million people in America (myself included) with celiac disease — an autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten — culinary life is a series of intricate leaps, accommodations and back-steps. We peer at labels, know the difference between \"gluten-free\" and \"certified-gluten free\" and keep a dedicated set of dishes and pots at home to avoid contamination by flour dust, crumbs of bread, and bits of pasta indulged in by family members or roommates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, there are regular mishaps — like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/venessawong/people-with-celiac-still-complaining-about-cheerios\">gluten free Cheerios\u003c/a> that weren't, or the news this past February that Chobani had \u003ca href=\"https://www.foodqualitynews.com/Article/2018/02/28/Chobani-recalls-yogurt-because-of-labelling-error\">recalled almost 85,000 cases\u003c/a> of Flip Key Lime Crumble yogurt because they contained gluten, even though the containers were labeled gluten free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, two worrying new studies suggest that accidental gluten exposure, even among celiacs following a gluten-free diet, may be far greater than we ever realized. A February study in the \u003ca href=\"https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/107/2/201/4911450\">American Journal of Clinical Nutrition\u003c/a> looked at gluten exposure detected by two new tests, one for urine and the other for stool. The tests detect peptides of gluten that make it through the digestive tract intact in all of us. (Nobody completely digests gluten, but most individuals don't have an adverse reaction to the undigested molecules).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bmj.com/content/357/bmj.j1892\">Amounts of daily gluten in a regular diet\u003c/a> can soar as high as 7,500 mg on average for women, and 10,000 mg on average for men. For celiacs, the recommended limit for safe consumption of gluten is a mere 10 mg a day — any more than that tiny amount can trigger symptoms and if exposure is ongoing, intestinal damage. That's because in celiac disease, gluten triggers an autoimmune response that damages the intestinal lining and impairs absorption of nutrients. The study, which examined data on individuals from two different clinical programs, found the average amount of gluten consumed on a gluten-free diet was 244 mg (by stool analysis) or 363 mg (by urine analysis).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This study reflects what many celiacs experience in real life,\" explains analytical chemist Jennifer Sealey-Voyksner, one of the study's authors. \"I was diagnosed with celiac in the early 2000s and even on a gluten-free diet, I was still getting sick. I began to actually analyze my own food using mass spectrometry techniques, and I found out that some of the gluten-free pastas I was eating, and even a body wash I was using, contained gluten.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26608460\">study last year\u003c/a>, the urine test for gluten exposure found that an astonishing 45 percent of children and 48 percent of adults on a long-term gluten-free diet were nonetheless being exposed to measurable amounts of gluten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The results go a long way toward explaining the decades of reports showing that somewhere between 30 and 50 percent of patients with celiac disease and on a gluten-free diet still have damaged intestines that have not fully recovered — even in the absence of obvious symptoms. That raises their risk of numerous health problems including infertility, osteoporosis and bone fracture and even lymphoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This analysis rocked me to the core,\" says dietitian Tricia Thompson, who founded \u003ca href=\"https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/\">Gluten Free Watchdog\u003c/a>, a site that offers education, gluten-free food testing, and sometimes wrangles with the FDA or corporations to press for stricter oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the gluten levels reported in this analysis are reasonably accurate and can be corroborated by additional studies,\" says Thompson, \"this raises so many questions — such as, how good is our counseling of celiac sufferers, and how often are they being exposed through cross-contact?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cross contact can start at the farm, where gluten-free crops might be grown adjacent to, or rotated with, gluten-containing crops. It can also occur anywhere down the line in processing, packaging and shipping. When Thompson reported the study on her Facebook page, which has over 17,000 followers, worried comments spooled out, ranging from concerns about airborne gluten from the bakery section of supermarkets, to cross contact from wheat-eating family members, to a report from one woman with a \u003ca href=\"https://www.today.com/health/gluten-sniffing-dogs-help-people-celiac-disease-t112149\">gluten-detection dog\u003c/a> able to reportedly detect down to 1 part per million (the dog alerted her to gluten on her shopping cart). A lament from one person with celiac disease seemed to sum it up: \"There is no safe place in this world for a celiac. It breaks my heart.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If individuals with celiac disease want to know whether their diets are compliant, the bowel and urine tests are now available for home testing from a company called \u003ca href=\"https://glutendetective.com/\">Glutenostics,\u003c/a> without a prescription. It is recommended that a patient work with his or her doctor and a dietitian to interpret results and get subsequent counseling. The urine test, says Glutenostic's managing partner, organic chemist David Winternheimer, is probably not sensitive enough to detect inadvertent exposure to gluten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have to eat 500 mg of gluten, or about two bites of bread, for the urine test to be positive,\" says Winternheimer, \"and most people on a gluten-free diet don't get that much.\" Instead, the urine test is recommended primarily for caregivers and parents who want to be sure their children are adhering to the diet, especially when away from home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stool test, in contrast, requires only 50 mg of gluten (roughly the amount present in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/gluten-detective-consumer-test-kits-for-detecting-gluten-in-stool-and-urine/\">dime-sized bundle of bread crumbs\u003c/a>) and can measure intake accumulating over several days. The stool test is unlikely to catch a low-level, one-off cross contact event, but could be useful for detecting highly contaminated food or ongoing consumption of low levels of hidden gluten. \"If you are concerned that you have been regularly exposed to cross contact from gluten over a period of days,\" says Thompson, \"you may find the stool test useful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winternheimer confirms: \"Patients who are symptomatic and not sure if the cause is gluten, or patients whose blood work still tests positive for gluten exposure, may want to utilize this test.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the stool test is positive, an audit of possible sources of exposure is in order — from other household members to foods or medicines that may contain hidden sources of gluten. \"A dietitian may choose to have patients keep detailed food records,\" says Thompson, \"that can be used alongside the results of stool testing to help determine possible sources of exposure.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Jennifer Sealey-Voyksner, these results point to the fact that a gluten-free diet may just be inadequate as a solitary treatment option for many individuals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I just got 'glutened' yesterday at a restaurant,\" she says. When she ordered a sandwich on gluten-free bread at her regular deli, a new person in the kitchen mistakenly used regular bread. Several bites in, she started to experience symptoms – \"brain fog and some cramps,\" as well as other gastrointestinal distress, she says, knocking her out of commission for another day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm one of the more sensitive folks,\" she says. \"It doesn't take very much gluten for me to show symptoms. There is a great need for more accurate tests to measure gluten in foods, as well as therapeutic drugs, either to work alone or in concert with a gluten-free diet.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

That raises their risk of numerous health problems including infertility, osteoporosis and bone fracture and even lymphoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This analysis rocked me to the core,\" says dietitian Tricia Thompson, who founded \u003ca href=\"https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/\">Gluten Free Watchdog\u003c/a>, a site that offers education, gluten-free food testing, and sometimes wrangles with the FDA or corporations to press for stricter oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the gluten levels reported in this analysis are reasonably accurate and can be corroborated by additional studies,\" says Thompson, \"this raises so many questions — such as, how good is our counseling of celiac sufferers, and how often are they being exposed through cross-contact?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cross contact can start at the farm, where gluten-free crops might be grown adjacent to, or rotated with, gluten-containing crops. It can also occur anywhere down the line in processing, packaging and shipping. When Thompson reported the study on her Facebook page, which has over 17,000 followers, worried comments spooled out, ranging from concerns about airborne gluten from the bakery section of supermarkets, to cross contact from wheat-eating family members, to a report from one woman with a \u003ca href=\"https://www.today.com/health/gluten-sniffing-dogs-help-people-celiac-disease-t112149\">gluten-detection dog\u003c/a> able to reportedly detect down to 1 part per million (the dog alerted her to gluten on her shopping cart). A lament from one person with celiac disease seemed to sum it up: \"There is no safe place in this world for a celiac. It breaks my heart.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If individuals with celiac disease want to know whether their diets are compliant, the bowel and urine tests are now available for home testing from a company called \u003ca href=\"https://glutendetective.com/\">Glutenostics,\u003c/a> without a prescription. It is recommended that a patient work with his or her doctor and a dietitian to interpret results and get subsequent counseling. The urine test, says Glutenostic's managing partner, organic chemist David Winternheimer, is probably not sensitive enough to detect inadvertent exposure to gluten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have to eat 500 mg of gluten, or about two bites of bread, for the urine test to be positive,\" says Winternheimer, \"and most people on a gluten-free diet don't get that much.\" Instead, the urine test is recommended primarily for caregivers and parents who want to be sure their children are adhering to the diet, especially when away from home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stool test, in contrast, requires only 50 mg of gluten (roughly the amount present in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/gluten-detective-consumer-test-kits-for-detecting-gluten-in-stool-and-urine/\">dime-sized bundle of bread crumbs\u003c/a>) and can measure intake accumulating over several days. The stool test is unlikely to catch a low-level, one-off cross contact event, but could be useful for detecting highly contaminated food or ongoing consumption of low levels of hidden gluten. \"If you are concerned that you have been regularly exposed to cross contact from gluten over a period of days,\" says Thompson, \"you may find the stool test useful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winternheimer confirms: \"Patients who are symptomatic and not sure if the cause is gluten, or patients whose blood work still tests positive for gluten exposure, may want to utilize this test.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the stool test is positive, an audit of possible sources of exposure is in order — from other household members to foods or medicines that may contain hidden sources of gluten. \"A dietitian may choose to have patients keep detailed food records,\" says Thompson, \"that can be used alongside the results of stool testing to help determine possible sources of exposure.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Jennifer Sealey-Voyksner, these results point to the fact that a gluten-free diet may just be inadequate as a solitary treatment option for many individuals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I just got 'glutened' yesterday at a restaurant,\" she says. When she ordered a sandwich on gluten-free bread at her regular deli, a new person in the kitchen mistakenly used regular bread. Several bites in, she started to experience symptoms – \"brain fog and some cramps,\" as well as other gastrointestinal distress, she says, knocking her out of commission for another day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm one of the more sensitive folks,\" she says. \"It doesn't take very much gluten for me to show symptoms. There is a great need for more accurate tests to measure gluten in foods, as well as therapeutic drugs, either to work alone or in concert with a gluten-free diet.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Some avoid all grains and legumes as well. Kitava has white rice – that’s the only one that’s permissible because it’s easier for the body to digest – but the Paleo-friendly cauliflower rice is also on offer. Some also avoid vegetables in the nightshade family: tomato, eggplant and peppers. This means that spices like cayenne and paprika can’t be used, either, since they are made of dried peppers. Some also avoid seeds, which can be left off most dishes at Kitava. While Kitava’s menus are clearly marked with what’s vegan and/or vegetarian, there’s a special menu given to those on the AIP diet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122204\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122204\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new.jpg\" alt=\"Kitava Kitchen menu.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kitava Kitchen menu. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s a diet heavy in vegetables and protein; pastured and organic meats and wild fish.

Some avoid all grains and legumes as well. Kitava has white rice – that’s the only one that’s permissible because it’s easier for the body to digest – but the Paleo-friendly cauliflower rice is also on offer. Some also avoid vegetables in the nightshade family: tomato, eggplant and peppers. This means that spices like cayenne and paprika can’t be used, either, since they are made of dried peppers. Some also avoid seeds, which can be left off most dishes at Kitava. While Kitava’s menus are clearly marked with what’s vegan and/or vegetarian, there’s a special menu given to those on the AIP diet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122204\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-122204\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new.jpg\" alt=\"Kitava Kitchen menu.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/11/MG_1231-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kitava Kitchen menu. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s a diet heavy in vegetables and protein; pastured and organic meats and wild fish.

Their immune systems mistake gluten as a dangerous substance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists have known for a while that genetics predisposes some people to celiac. About 30 percent of Americans carry the genes that make them more susceptible to the disease. And yet, only about \u003ca href=\"https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/facts-and-figures/\">one percent of Americans have celiac.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers wondered why not everyone with the risk genes gets the disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer is likely complicated, but one theory has emerged. Perhaps a \"viral infection can serve as a trigger to celiac,\" explains Dr. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mmg.pitt.edu/person/terence-s-dermody\">Terence Dermody,\u003c/a> who chairs the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh, and is an author of \u003ca href=\"http://science.sciencemag.org/content/356/6333/44\">the new study\u003c/a> published in \u003cem>Science\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and a team of collaborators, led by Bana Jabri of the University of Chicago, decided to test this in experimental mice. They had been studying reovirus – a common virus that infects most Americans beginning in childhood, yet isn't considered dangerous. The researchers genetically engineered the mice to be more susceptible to celiac disease. Then they exposed \u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>mice to reovirus. \u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>At the same time they also fed gluten to the mice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It turns out their hunch had been right. The mice developed \"an immunological response against gluten that mimics the features of humans with celiac disease,\" Dermody says. The symptoms of celiac disease include diarrhea and other signs of gastrointestinal distress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's all about the timing,\" Dermody says. The idea is that when the virus and gluten are introduced at the same time, the immune system mistakes the gluten-containing food as dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/scisource_jf4603-8df205712197d898a1e42d6699071878e849c996.jpg\" alt=\"Transmission electron micrograph of a cell infected with reovirus (red).

Perhaps a \"viral infection can serve as a trigger to celiac,\" explains Dr. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mmg.pitt.edu/person/terence-s-dermody\">Terence Dermody,\u003c/a> who chairs the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh, and is an author of \u003ca href=\"http://science.sciencemag.org/content/356/6333/44\">the new study\u003c/a> published in \u003cem>Science\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and a team of collaborators, led by Bana Jabri of the University of Chicago, decided to test this in experimental mice. They had been studying reovirus – a common virus that infects most Americans beginning in childhood, yet isn't considered dangerous. The researchers genetically engineered the mice to be more susceptible to celiac disease. Then they exposed \u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>mice to reovirus. \u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>At the same time they also fed gluten to the mice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It turns out their hunch had been right. The mice developed \"an immunological response against gluten that mimics the features of humans with celiac disease,\" Dermody says. The symptoms of celiac disease include diarrhea and other signs of gastrointestinal distress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's all about the timing,\" Dermody says. The idea is that when the virus and gluten are introduced at the same time, the immune system mistakes the gluten-containing food as dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/scisource_jf4603-8df205712197d898a1e42d6699071878e849c996.jpg\" alt=\"Transmission electron micrograph of a cell infected with reovirus (red).

But all I remember of these two-toned beans is a big mushy pile of flavorless blech. I clearly haven’t had good black-eyed peas in my life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I set out to change these recollections with an updated dish. Now, I like a good, vinegary bean salad. Lentils vinaigrette--hell yes. Homemade white bean salad with tuna--now you’re talking. And what I came up with was a healthier version of black-eyed peas with a few crunchy veggies, and an herbed vinaigrette with plenty of oomph. The great news is that you can make this a day or two in advance, and then just pull it out for your New Year’s Day feast.

But if you want to take the time to start with dried beans, you’ll need 1 cup dried black-eyed peas, soaked in cold water overnight. The next day, drain and rinse the soaked beans. Add to a large saucepan, then add enough water to cover the beans by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender but not mushy, about 45 minutes (the amount of time it takes to boil beans can vary greatly depending on the age and type of bean, so taste as you go). Drain the beans and run under cold water. Let drain, then transfer to a serving bowl.

Being from the south, they are a fairly common legume and make their appearance in plenty of dishes, the most famous being Hoppin John'. But all I remember of these two-toned beans is a big mushy pile of flavorless blech. I clearly haven’t had good black-eyed peas in my life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I set out to change these recollections with an updated dish. Now, I like a good, vinegary bean salad. Lentils vinaigrette--hell yes. Homemade white bean salad with tuna--now you’re talking. And what I came up with was a healthier version of black-eyed peas with a few crunchy veggies, and an herbed vinaigrette with plenty of oomph. The great news is that you can make this a day or two in advance, and then just pull it out for your New Year’s Day feast. Or eat it anytime for lunch or as a side dish for dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_114307\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-114307\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/black-eyed-peas.jpg\" alt=\"Black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed and drained again.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/black-eyed-peas.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/black-eyed-peas-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/black-eyed-peas-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/black-eyed-peas-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/black-eyed-peas-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/black-eyed-peas-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/black-eyed-peas-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/black-eyed-peas-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/black-eyed-peas-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/black-eyed-peas-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed and drained again. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To keep things easy, and make this quickly, I used canned beans. But if you want to take the time to start with dried beans, you’ll need 1 cup dried black-eyed peas, soaked in cold water overnight. The next day, drain and rinse the soaked beans. Add to a large saucepan, then add enough water to cover the beans by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender but not mushy, about 45 minutes (the amount of time it takes to boil beans can vary greatly depending on the age and type of bean, so taste as you go). Drain the beans and run under cold water. Let drain, then transfer to a serving bowl.

"content": "\u003cp>Quite a few years ago, my family and I got tired of serving up yet another turkey dinner at Christmastime. I mean, Thanksgiving and Christmas are barely 4 weeks apart (sometimes more, sometimes less). Who really, truly wants to eat turkey again so soon? So my brother and I took it upon ourselves to come up with the ultimate feast. A once-a-year extravaganza of food we would never normally cook, mostly due to budget and health considerations. Say hello to the roast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, one of the most elaborate things you can bestow upon your dinner party is a glorious roast. From a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2014/12/17/a-holiday-feast-roasted-beef-tenderloin-with-port-shallot-and-mushroom-sauce/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whole beef tenderloin\u003c/a> to a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/12/18/holiday-dinner-main-dish-roast-rack-of-lamb-with-garlic-and-herb-butter/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rack of lamb\u003c/a>, over the years we’ve served them all. I find this elaborate because I don’t normally eat a ton of meat, either regularly or in one sitting. And to serve a roast, you typically need to have quite a few guests to help you devour it (because we certainly don’t want any tiny little morsel of it to go to waste).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, we decided to go classic old-school: prime rib. This feeds both the Texan in me and my brother, and the Brit in my husband. To create the ultimate steakhouse dinner, make this prime rib roast with the jus (a well-seasoned, light gravy) along with the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2016/12/19/a-holiday-christmas-classic-yorkshire-puddings/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yorkshire puddings\u003c/a> and creamed spinach that we added to the menu this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seek out the best quality roast you can find from a reputable butcher. Look for a first cut, 3-bone prime rib which gives you more meat and less fat. That being said, you want to make sure that you get a roast that has nice marbling throughout. If you really want to splurge, be sure to ask for Prime grade beef, rather than Choice which is what most supermarkets carry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_114052\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-114052\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw.jpg\" alt=\"Beef Prime Rib Roast\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beef Prime Rib Roast \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>You can leave the ribs attached to the roast if you like, but to make carving easier once the roast is cooked, ask your butcher (or do it yourself!) ahead of time to cut the ribs off of the roast.

I mean, Thanksgiving and Christmas are barely 4 weeks apart (sometimes more, sometimes less). Who really, truly wants to eat turkey again so soon? So my brother and I took it upon ourselves to come up with the ultimate feast. A once-a-year extravaganza of food we would never normally cook, mostly due to budget and health considerations. Say hello to the roast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, one of the most elaborate things you can bestow upon your dinner party is a glorious roast. From a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2014/12/17/a-holiday-feast-roasted-beef-tenderloin-with-port-shallot-and-mushroom-sauce/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whole beef tenderloin\u003c/a> to a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/12/18/holiday-dinner-main-dish-roast-rack-of-lamb-with-garlic-and-herb-butter/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rack of lamb\u003c/a>, over the years we’ve served them all. I find this elaborate because I don’t normally eat a ton of meat, either regularly or in one sitting. And to serve a roast, you typically need to have quite a few guests to help you devour it (because we certainly don’t want any tiny little morsel of it to go to waste).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, we decided to go classic old-school: prime rib. This feeds both the Texan in me and my brother, and the Brit in my husband. To create the ultimate steakhouse dinner, make this prime rib roast with the jus (a well-seasoned, light gravy) along with the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2016/12/19/a-holiday-christmas-classic-yorkshire-puddings/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yorkshire puddings\u003c/a> and creamed spinach that we added to the menu this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seek out the best quality roast you can find from a reputable butcher. Look for a first cut, 3-bone prime rib which gives you more meat and less fat. That being said, you want to make sure that you get a roast that has nice marbling throughout. If you really want to splurge, be sure to ask for Prime grade beef, rather than Choice which is what most supermarkets carry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_114052\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-114052\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw.jpg\" alt=\"Beef Prime Rib Roast\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beef Prime Rib Roast \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>You can leave the ribs attached to the roast if you like, but to make carving easier once the roast is cooked, ask your butcher (or do it yourself!) ahead of time to cut the ribs off of the roast. Then reserve the bones, and re-attach them to the roast after browning using kitchen string or butcher’s twine. The other advantage of doing this is that it allows you to add the rib bones to the jus when finishing it before serving—another beefy layer of flavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Slow-Roasted Beef Prime Rib Roast\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 6 to 8 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Let the roast stand for about 30 minutes before carving. This “resting” period allows the juices to redistribute and will result in a juicier, more tender roast. The internal temperature of the roast will continue to rise as it rests.

Or do you just love a good meringue?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Light and airy, crispy-chewy, and with two kinds of chocolate—both cocoa and finely chopped bittersweet chocolate—no one will think these cookies are any less extraordinary than their floury friends. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These easy-to-make meringues come together in a snap. Warming the egg whites helps dissolve the sugar, and warm whites actually whip up more fully than cold whites. Be sure to beat the egg white mixture until you get stiff peaks but the mixture remains glossy (over-whipping will result in a dry meringue). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as with anything involving chocolate, choose a good-quality dark cocoa powder and your favorite bittersweet (or even semi-sweet) chocolate for the best results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_104788\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-finish5.jpg\" alt=\"Gluten-Free Chocolate Meringues\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104788\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-finish5.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-finish5-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-finish5-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-finish5-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-finish5-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-finish5-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-finish5-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gluten-Free Chocolate Meringues \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Recipe: Gluten-Free Chocolate Meringues\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 2 dozen meringues\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>4 large egg whites\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 tsp cream of tartar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 tsp kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp vanilla extract\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_104754\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-chop.jpg\" alt=\"Finely chop the bittersweet chocolate.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104754\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-chop.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-chop-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-chop-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-chop-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-chop-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-chop-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-chop-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Finely chop the bittersweet chocolate. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Space 2 racks evenly in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F.

Or do you just love a good meringue?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Light and airy, crispy-chewy, and with two kinds of chocolate—both cocoa and finely chopped bittersweet chocolate—no one will think these cookies are any less extraordinary than their floury friends. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These easy-to-make meringues come together in a snap. Warming the egg whites helps dissolve the sugar, and warm whites actually whip up more fully than cold whites. Be sure to beat the egg white mixture until you get stiff peaks but the mixture remains glossy (over-whipping will result in a dry meringue). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as with anything involving chocolate, choose a good-quality dark cocoa powder and your favorite bittersweet (or even semi-sweet) chocolate for the best results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_104788\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-finish5.jpg\" alt=\"Gluten-Free Chocolate Meringues\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104788\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-finish5.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-finish5-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-finish5-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-finish5-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-finish5-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-finish5-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-finish5-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gluten-Free Chocolate Meringues \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Recipe: Gluten-Free Chocolate Meringues\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 2 dozen meringues\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>4 large egg whites\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 tsp cream of tartar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 tsp kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp vanilla extract\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_104754\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-chop.jpg\" alt=\"Finely chop the bittersweet chocolate.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104754\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-chop.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-chop-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-chop-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-chop-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-chop-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-chop-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/chocolate-meringue-chop-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Finely chop the bittersweet chocolate. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Space 2 racks evenly in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F.

Toasty and chewy, these nutty cookies are perfect for dipping in melted chocolate, and they also just happen to be gluten-free (for anyone looking for gluten-free options out there.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I use almond paste (not marzipan) in these, which you can find in 7 oz tubes in most well-stocked supermarkets. Almond paste is better for baking, and has a little coarser texture and is a little less sweet than its sister almond product, marzipan. Marzipan is smoothly textured, sweeter, and is often used for molding into shapes for candies (like the marzipan mushrooms you can make for your Christmas bûche de Noël) or rolling thinly to cover cakes and the like. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the dough is mixed I like to roll each cookie portion in crushed sliced almonds for a extra crispy texture on the outside.

Toasty and chewy, these nutty cookies are perfect for dipping in melted chocolate, and they also just happen to be gluten-free (for anyone looking for gluten-free options out there.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I use almond paste (not marzipan) in these, which you can find in 7 oz tubes in most well-stocked supermarkets. Almond paste is better for baking, and has a little coarser texture and is a little less sweet than its sister almond product, marzipan. Marzipan is smoothly textured, sweeter, and is often used for molding into shapes for candies (like the marzipan mushrooms you can make for your Christmas bûche de Noël) or rolling thinly to cover cakes and the like. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the dough is mixed I like to roll each cookie portion in crushed sliced almonds for a extra crispy texture on the outside. Plus it’s another way to get even more almonds packed into these little bites of love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can serve them as is, or dip them in the melted chocolate, depending on how fancy you want to get. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_104504\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate.jpg\" alt=\"Get fancy and dip the almond crescents in chocolate.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104504\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/12/crescents-dip-chocolate-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Get fancy and dip the almond crescents in chocolate. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Recipe: Chocolate-Dipped Almond Crescents3>\n\u003c/h3>\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 12 cookies\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>1 cup sliced almonds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>7 ounces almond paste \u003c/li>\n\u003cp>2 ounces almond flour\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>1/3 cup granulated sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 large egg white \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (optional)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Preheat the oven to 375°F.

It’s the oldest and largest g/f bakery with two locations: Oakland’s Temescal District and San Francisco’s Ferry Building. But it all happened by accident. Crane never planned to open a bakery café at all. In 2002, after she was diagnosed with MS and researched what she could do to calm the symptoms of her autoimmune condition, she read about eliminating gluten from her diet. The few g/f products she found at the time were, she remembers, “mass-produced, bland, with a texture that wasn’t right.” Since she had baked a lot with her mother as a little girl, she set about converting some tried-and-true recipes (like biscotti and brownies) to g/f versions to sell at natural food markets. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crane started making her wholesale baked goods in a shared kitchen. When she needed more space and found the Telegraph Avenue location in 2006, it was zoned for retail. She was forced to comply by becoming a retail outlet and Crane and her husband duly installed a counter, but not much else. There was no signage and their door was a heavy, steel contraption. It’s a wonder that her customers managed to find Mariposa, but when they did, they were not shy about offering suggestions of what she should add to her line. “The business stemmed from customer cravings,” says Crane, “including me, too, since I’m a consumer and I have my own cravings.” Mariposa now produces more than 70 items and Crane is always looking to add new things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her multi-grain bread has a complex flavor/texture profile with a blend of flours, plus flax and sunflower seeds. The delightful cream-filled Penguino cupcake contains no known allergens but an intensely fudgy flavor. My family loves Mariposa’s seasonal fruit galette, a dessert elegant enough for company, with its balance of delicate crust, tangy fruit and crunch of sugar sprinkled on top. The Oakland location now has a pleasant café with plenty of seating, while the Ferry Building Bakeshop, added in 2012, is more of a to-go spot. For breakfast, try a bagel, cinnamon roll, Danish or pumpkin muffin.

Founder Laverne Matias started selling his g/f goods three years ago at farmers' markets (he continues at Oakland’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/GrandLakeFarmersMarket\" target=\"_blank\">Grand Lake\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/temescal-farmers-market-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">Temescal\u003c/a> and San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/clement-street-farmers-market-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\">Clement\u003c/a>), then opened this cozy spot in Emeryville last September. Matias, who grew up in Puerto Rico, also baked at home with his mother. He moved to California in 2000 to become a lawyer after he was accepted into Hastings Law School, but changed his mind about that career path. Deciding he wanted something “more human,” he did a stint as head of HR for a large (conventional) baking company, then branched off on his own to develop some healthier recipes. He also studied existential psychology at JFK University and worked for three years as a licensed psychotherapist. But at the moment, his bakery/café is keeping him tuned in to people’s more earthly desires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matias explains his approach: “We don’t use gluten-free flour mixes. We prefer to create unique blends of gluten-free flours to complement each item. I love ancient grains such as teff, millet, sorghum and quinoa. We also use nut flours and meals like almond, coconut and hazelnut.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bacano offers a unique bread called \"Seeds of Joy,\" which contains a complex blend of teff, sorghum and sweet rice flours sprinkled with fennel, caraway and coriander seeds. I keep it in the freezer, and toast to enjoy it with savory spreads like hummus or avocado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was wild about Bacano's \"Monkey Paradise\" muffins—essentially banana bread plus chocolate chips, walnuts and dried cherries—and found their fig scones divine. The De Young Museum serves another of my favorites at Bacano: their grain-free, cranberry date walnut bites, jewel-like orbs that burst with flavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bacano’s cakes feature some unusual flavor combinations, including rosemary with coconut; and orange, almond and pistachio. Since they use all natural ingredients, the classic mauve roses with green foliage on the icing are colored with beet and spinach juice, respectively. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At lunchtime, Bacano’s café offers soups, salads, quiche, pizza and sandwiches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bacanobakery.com\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Bacano Bakery\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1298 65\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/sJSDLO\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nEmeryville, CA 94608\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 250-9751\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sat 8am-3pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/BacanoBakery?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Bacano Bakery\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"http://www.twitter.com/zestbakery\" target=\"_blank\">@BacanoBakery\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"none\" size=\"full\" ids=\"101460,101462,101461,101464,101463,101465\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Zest Bakery\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This family-owned bakery in San Carlos is the only one of the five that does not announce “gluten-free” on its store front, as its scalloped green awning proclaims “organic.” But once you are inside, the baked goods in the inviting cases all sport friendly “Hi, My Name is ____” labels which clearly state that every item is indeed g/f as well as often dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free etc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cynthia Fleischer is the current manager, baker and co-owner. Zest began in 2009 when Fleisher’s brother-in-law, Patrick Luke, who has celiac disease, and his wife Charissa (Cynthia’s sister), started baking g/f creations at home. In 2010, they found this charming storefront in San Carlos and started their retail bakery. After Cynthia was laid off from Genentech, where she worked as a bio-process-technician, she jokes that she “traded one lab for another” and now develops new g/f recipes as well as baking the favorites that have been there since the beginning. One of these is Zest’s petite almond cake, a must-try fluffy cloud of marzipan. Another winner is their Triple Berry muffin, moist and light, with a hint of lemon and a crunchy topping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cynthia Fleischer claims their secret is using a combination of flours and ground seeds for their breads and pastries. When she recently found herself craving something with bacon, she devised the devilishly good bacon maple bourbon muffins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At lunchtime, Zest Bakery offers quiche and made-to-order sandwiches. They also have ice cream sandwiches, ravioli, unbaked pizza and pie crusts in the freezer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.zestbakery.com\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Zest Bakery\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1224 Arroyo Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/hO0xXD\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Carlos, CA 94070\u003cbr>\nPh: (650) 241-ZEST (9378)\u003cbr>\nHours: Tue-Fri 9am-4pm; Sat 8am-4pm; Sun 8am-2pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook:\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/zestbakery?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\"> Zest Bakery\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"http://www.twitter.com/zestbakery\" target=\"_blank\">@zestbakery\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"none\" size=\"full\" ids=\"101470,101471,101469,101472,101468,101467\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Miglet’s\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Katie Taylor started baking gluten-free when her mother, Elaine Taylor was diagnosed with celiac disease. Her mother also happens to be co-founder and president of \u003ca href=\"https://ttff.org\" target=\"_blank\">The Taylor Family Foundation\u003c/a>, which runs summer camps for children with physical and mental challenges. When Katie volunteered at the summer Celiac Camp at Camp Arroyo, her sweet treats were such a big hit with the campers, that their parents encouraged her to begin making g/f birthday cakes. Katie was inspired to expand to a g/f catering business and then in 2010 opened a retail storefront, Miglet’s Cupcake shop, tucked away in the corner of Crossroads shopping center in Danville. (\"Miglet\" was Katie's childhood nickname – a combination of Piglet and Monkey.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you or your kids have a sweet tooth and need to eat g/f, Miglet's cupcakes, cream puffs and donuts should satisfy your cravings. Their cupcakes sport a pompadour of swirled icing and sometimes a surprise in the middle. For example, the most popular variety, vanilla salted caramel cupcakes have additional caramel piped into the center. Besides the usual chocolate and lemon flavors, Miglet’s gets creative with their combinations: strawberry margarita cupcakes with key lime frosting; piña colada donuts with pineapple chunks and toasted coconut; rocky road donuts. Be warned that their donuts sell out quickly, often by noon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also bake a variety of cookies, scones and sweet breads such as pumpkin, lemon poppy seed and banana bread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miglet's small space focuses on baking sweet treats, but they also offer a variety of salads, chicken pot pies, mac and cheese and quiche for lunch in their cold case. And if you live near the “680 Corridor” and can’t always trek out to Oakland or Emeryville, their grocery section carries frozen loaves of Mariposa’s and Bacano’s breads plus \u003ca href=\"http://www.breadsrsly.com\" target=\"_blank\">Bread SRSLY\u003c/a>’s sourdough.

After discovering her own severe gluten intolerance 15 years ago, Heather Hardcastle, chef and co-owner of Flour Craft Bakery, decided to change her career as well as her diet. In 2008, she studied pastry at the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena, which naturally focused on conventional baking recipes and techniques. She then reformulated all the recipes to make them gluten-free. Her professional training is evident in the quality of her breads, pastries and desserts. Hardcastle began her g/f foray by developing a signature granola that she sold at farmers markets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a crowd-funding campaign, she and her husband opened Flour Craft Bakery in 2013. “My goal is making delicious food,” says Hardcastle. “The fact that it is gluten-free is just a bonus.” The menu of breads, brioche, muffins, cookies and cakes changes monthly. For lunch, there’s quiche, quinoa salad, lentil salad and sandwiches on housemade focaccia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I found the blackberry Earl Grey scone light and fluffy, the flourless hazelnut brownie decadent, and the marbled coffee cake with espresso glaze moist and crumbly. But the warm olive focaccia, kissed with olive oil, is one of the best things I’ve ever tasted—period. Even if you don’t have a date in Marin planned, visit Flour Craft. It’s worth the drive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://flourcraftbakery.com\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Flour Craft Bakery\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n702 San Anselmo Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/rgOQWn\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Anselmo, CA 94960\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 453-3100\u003cbr>\nHours: Tue-Sat 7am-4pm; Sun 8am-3pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/flourcraft?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Flour Craft Bakery\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/flourcraft\" target=\"_blank\">@flourcraft\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Additional Resources:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://knowgluten.me/2013/09/13/eat-at-dedicated-gluten-free-restaurant/\" target=\"_blank\">Top Ten Reasons to Eat at a Dedicated Gluten Free Restaurant\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Founder Laverne Matias started selling his g/f goods three years ago at farmers' markets (he continues at Oakland’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/GrandLakeFarmersMarket\" target=\"_blank\">Grand Lake\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/temescal-farmers-market-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">Temescal\u003c/a> and San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/clement-street-farmers-market-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\">Clement\u003c/a>), then opened this cozy spot in Emeryville last September. Matias, who grew up in Puerto Rico, also baked at home with his mother. He moved to California in 2000 to become a lawyer after he was accepted into Hastings Law School, but changed his mind about that career path. Deciding he wanted something “more human,” he did a stint as head of HR for a large (conventional) baking company, then branched off on his own to develop some healthier recipes. He also studied existential psychology at JFK University and worked for three years as a licensed psychotherapist. But at the moment, his bakery/café is keeping him tuned in to people’s more earthly desires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matias explains his approach: “We don’t use gluten-free flour mixes. We prefer to create unique blends of gluten-free flours to complement each item. I love ancient grains such as teff, millet, sorghum and quinoa. We also use nut flours and meals like almond, coconut and hazelnut.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bacano offers a unique bread called \"Seeds of Joy,\" which contains a complex blend of teff, sorghum and sweet rice flours sprinkled with fennel, caraway and coriander seeds. I keep it in the freezer, and toast to enjoy it with savory spreads like hummus or avocado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was wild about Bacano's \"Monkey Paradise\" muffins—essentially banana bread plus chocolate chips, walnuts and dried cherries—and found their fig scones divine. The De Young Museum serves another of my favorites at Bacano: their grain-free, cranberry date walnut bites, jewel-like orbs that burst with flavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bacano’s cakes feature some unusual flavor combinations, including rosemary with coconut; and orange, almond and pistachio. Since they use all natural ingredients, the classic mauve roses with green foliage on the icing are colored with beet and spinach juice, respectively. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At lunchtime, Bacano’s café offers soups, salads, quiche, pizza and sandwiches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bacanobakery.com\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Bacano Bakery\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n1298 65\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/sJSDLO\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nEmeryville, CA 94608\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 250-9751\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sat 8am-3pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/BacanoBakery?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Bacano Bakery\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"http://www.twitter.com/zestbakery\" target=\"_blank\">@BacanoBakery\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Zest began in 2009 when Fleisher’s brother-in-law, Patrick Luke, who has celiac disease, and his wife Charissa (Cynthia’s sister), started baking g/f creations at home. In 2010, they found this charming storefront in San Carlos and started their retail bakery. After Cynthia was laid off from Genentech, where she worked as a bio-process-technician, she jokes that she “traded one lab for another” and now develops new g/f recipes as well as baking the favorites that have been there since the beginning. One of these is Zest’s petite almond cake, a must-try fluffy cloud of marzipan. Another winner is their Triple Berry muffin, moist and light, with a hint of lemon and a crunchy topping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cynthia Fleischer claims their secret is using a combination of flours and ground seeds for their breads and pastries. When she recently found herself craving something with bacon, she devised the devilishly good bacon maple bourbon muffins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At lunchtime, Zest Bakery offers quiche and made-to-order sandwiches.

Her mother also happens to be co-founder and president of \u003ca href=\"https://ttff.org\" target=\"_blank\">The Taylor Family Foundation\u003c/a>, which runs summer camps for children with physical and mental challenges. When Katie volunteered at the summer Celiac Camp at Camp Arroyo, her sweet treats were such a big hit with the campers, that their parents encouraged her to begin making g/f birthday cakes. Katie was inspired to expand to a g/f catering business and then in 2010 opened a retail storefront, Miglet’s Cupcake shop, tucked away in the corner of Crossroads shopping center in Danville. (\"Miglet\" was Katie's childhood nickname – a combination of Piglet and Monkey.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you or your kids have a sweet tooth and need to eat g/f, Miglet's cupcakes, cream puffs and donuts should satisfy your cravings. Their cupcakes sport a pompadour of swirled icing and sometimes a surprise in the middle. For example, the most popular variety, vanilla salted caramel cupcakes have additional caramel piped into the center. Besides the usual chocolate and lemon flavors, Miglet’s gets creative with their combinations: strawberry margarita cupcakes with key lime frosting; piña colada donuts with pineapple chunks and toasted coconut; rocky road donuts. Be warned that their donuts sell out quickly, often by noon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also bake a variety of cookies, scones and sweet breads such as pumpkin, lemon poppy seed and banana bread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miglet's small space focuses on baking sweet treats, but they also offer a variety of salads, chicken pot pies, mac and cheese and quiche for lunch in their cold case. And if you live near the “680 Corridor” and can’t always trek out to Oakland or Emeryville, their grocery section carries frozen loaves of Mariposa’s and Bacano’s breads plus \u003ca href=\"http://www.breadsrsly.com\" target=\"_blank\">Bread SRSLY\u003c/a>’s sourdough.

After discovering her own severe gluten intolerance 15 years ago, Heather Hardcastle, chef and co-owner of Flour Craft Bakery, decided to change her career as well as her diet. In 2008, she studied pastry at the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena, which naturally focused on conventional baking recipes and techniques. She then reformulated all the recipes to make them gluten-free. Her professional training is evident in the quality of her breads, pastries and desserts. Hardcastle began her g/f foray by developing a signature granola that she sold at farmers markets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a crowd-funding campaign, she and her husband opened Flour Craft Bakery in 2013. “My goal is making delicious food,” says Hardcastle. “The fact that it is gluten-free is just a bonus.” The menu of breads, brioche, muffins, cookies and cakes changes monthly. For lunch, there’s quiche, quinoa salad, lentil salad and sandwiches on housemade focaccia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I found the blackberry Earl Grey scone light and fluffy, the flourless hazelnut brownie decadent, and the marbled coffee cake with espresso glaze moist and crumbly. But the warm olive focaccia, kissed with olive oil, is one of the best things I’ve ever tasted—period. Even if you don’t have a date in Marin planned, visit Flour Craft. It’s worth the drive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://flourcraftbakery.com\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Flour Craft Bakery\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n702 San Anselmo Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/rgOQWn\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nSan Anselmo, CA 94960\u003cbr>\nPh: (415) 453-3100\u003cbr>\nHours: Tue-Sat 7am-4pm; Sun 8am-3pm\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/flourcraft?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Flour Craft Bakery\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/flourcraft\" target=\"_blank\">@flourcraft\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The burger (“The Amy”) comes with two patties made from what appeared to be a combination of grains, mushrooms and quinoa (Amy’s didn’t respond to a request for ingredient lists) and comes with traditional fixings: cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and a special sauce. The burger hit all of the right notes: a crispy burger; soft bun; flavorful pickles; lettuce and onion adding a welcome textural contrast; and a satisfyingly tangy sauce. The vegan cheese melted well and added a comforting texture. The patty--the Berliners say they went through over \u003ca href=\"http://sf.eater.com/2015/7/22/9015613/amys-kitchen-drive-thru-fast-food-vegetarian-california\" target=\"_blank\">1,000 versions\u003c/a> of it before they settled on the current recipe.

It sent me into a psychological tailspan: how much does the meat really matter in a fast food burger? When I eat a double-double from In-N-Out, how much of my enjoyment comes from the meat itself--a thin, fairly bland patty from a probably unhappy cow--and how much comes from the accessories: the salty, melted cheese; sweetly acidic ketchup; and crunchy vegetables, topped with a piquant secret sauce?\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_100529\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/09/DSC_0929.jpg\" alt=\"Vegan, gluten-free mac and cheese with tomatoes and green onions.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-100529\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/09/DSC_0929.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/09/DSC_0929-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/09/DSC_0929-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/09/DSC_0929-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/09/DSC_0929-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/09/DSC_0929-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vegan, gluten-free mac and cheese with tomatoes and green onions. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I also tried the vegan and gluten-free mac and cheese with tomatoes and green onion.

The burger (“The Amy”) comes with two patties made from what appeared to be a combination of grains, mushrooms and quinoa (Amy’s didn’t respond to a request for ingredient lists) and comes with traditional fixings: cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and a special sauce. The burger hit all of the right notes: a crispy burger; soft bun; flavorful pickles; lettuce and onion adding a welcome textural contrast; and a satisfyingly tangy sauce. The vegan cheese melted well and added a comforting texture. The patty--the Berliners say they went through over \u003ca href=\"http://sf.eater.com/2015/7/22/9015613/amys-kitchen-drive-thru-fast-food-vegetarian-california\" target=\"_blank\">1,000 versions\u003c/a> of it before they settled on the current recipe.

In fact, this is what led to the creation of Ducks & Dragons. Obese since childhood, he decided to reinvent his diet and lifestyle beginning four-plus years ago, weighing a distressing 400 pounds at the time. \"I used to eat anything -- pizza, fast food, whatever,\" he recalls. \"I didn't know about nutrition.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also didn't exercise and increasingly found that even short walks between buildings at work -- he was then a research engineer for GE Healthcare -- were an ordeal. \"I'd break into a sweat,\" he explains. \"I was wasting so much time because I was waiting for the elevator.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98152\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/baguette.jpg\" alt=\"While it doesn't have the hard crust of most wheat-based breads -- Makram prefers soft exteriors -- his baguette has a soft, pleasing texture enhanced by fine flecks of flax seed and slices and toasts like standard bread.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"512\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98152\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/baguette.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/baguette-400x205.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/baguette-800x410.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/baguette-960x492.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">While it doesn't have the hard crust of most wheat-based breads -- Makram prefers soft exteriors -- his baguette has a soft, pleasing texture enhanced by fine flecks of flax seed and slices and toasts like standard bread. \u003ccite>(Susan Hathaway)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>His personal overhaul involved learning to ride a bicycle for the first time, then expanded to workouts at the gym -- where he met his girlfriend -- and the reconstruction of his diet based on healthy principles. Makram sampled \"all the various diets -- low fat, low calories -- but I didn't like the food,\" he says. \"Eventually, I came across the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/weight-loss/in-depth/low-carb-diet/art-20045831\" target=\"_blank\">low-carb diet\u003c/a> and I adopted that and started seeing results.

Says Makram, \"People would eat it and say, 'Wow, this cannot be healthy!'\" And naturally, people kept urging him to sell his subsequent creations, which later led to a booth at a farmers market. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then he was hooked. \"It's very satisfying and I'm passionate about it,\" he reveals. \"I've see the improvement in people's lives and that has its own rewards. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had two customers who broke into tears after they tried my bread,\" remembers Makram. \"They said, 'We have not had bread in years because everything (non-gluten) out there is horrible.' I've got customers whose kids are celiac and they love it. And a lot of people just buy the bread because it's good bread that's healthier. Because of the ingredients I use, everything is high fiber. There are 12 grams of fiber in the bagels. That's a lot compared to a \u003ca href=\"http://www.beinghealthy.tv/archives/bagels/\" target=\"_blank\">normal bagel\u003c/a>.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tasting Makram's products, it's hard to believe they're gluten-free given the pleasing resemblance to regular breads. His baguettes have an appealing yeasty aroma and airy texture punctuated with ground flaxseed while his Montreal-style bagels -- smaller, sweeter and denser than the New York kind -- include one particularly popular flavor featuring a hit of chile and an abundance of toppings. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98153\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/everything-bagel.jpg\" alt='The most popular bagel flavor at Ducks & Dragons is the \"everything,\" which has just enough chile flakes to perk up the tastebuds and caraway seeds added to the other toppings.' width=\"1000\" height=\"595\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98153\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/everything-bagel.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/everything-bagel-400x238.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/everything-bagel-800x476.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/everything-bagel-960x571.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The most popular bagel flavor at Ducks & Dragons is the \"everything,\" which has just enough chile flakes to perk up the tastebuds and caraway seeds added to the other toppings. \u003ccite>(Susan Hathaway)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The backbone ingredients for Makram's products are \u003ca href=\"http://www.platedwithstyle.com/baking-flours/\" target=\"_blank\">almond, coconut, tapioca and arrowroot flours\u003c/a> along with egg whites, \u003ca href=\"http://www.healthline.com/health/psyllium-health-benefits\" target=\"_blank\">psyllium husks\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://modernistcuisine.com/2013/03/what-is-xanthan-gum/\" target=\"_blank\">xanthan gum\u003c/a> and yeast. With no culinary training and no youthful cooking experience, he had no ground rules to get in the way of his research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of the techniques I use would give a traditional baker a headache. The techniques and proportions are very different from what a traditional baker would use for a similar product,\" he says. His laboriously created process is a secret and defies what bakers believe is possible when making \u003ca href=\"http://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2013/02/low-carb-basics-baking-with-almond-flour.html\" target=\"_blank\">almond flour baked goods\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Determination also helped him refine his recipes, since his go-to mode for many things is not to give up until the goal is reached. Before creating the bakery, this remarkable discipline was seen in many successful outcomes that might have challenged others, like \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1996/04/21/nyregion/proficient-in-english-but-trying-to-lose-their-accents.html\" target=\"_blank\">extinguishing his Egyptian accent\u003c/a> through force of will after arriving with his family in the United States at age 16 and, of course, losing a massive amount of weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also credits his technical background as a useful asset in launching his currently one-man bakery. \"Once an engineer, always an engineer,\" he says. \"That's how I was able to develop this. I looked at it as an engineering problem and I went at it one step at a time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98157\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sesame-bagel.jpg\" alt=\"The sesame bagel has heaps of seeds on top and the shiny exterior that comes from being boiled -- in this case, in honey water, as is done for Montreal-style bagels.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"649\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98157\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sesame-bagel.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sesame-bagel-400x260.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sesame-bagel-800x519.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sesame-bagel-960x623.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The sesame bagel has heaps of seeds on top and the shiny exterior that comes from being boiled -- in this case, in honey water, as is done for Montreal-style bagels. \u003ccite>(courtesy of Ducks & Dragons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>However, when it came to naming his operation, his inspiration was sentimental rather than nerdy. \"Growing up, my dad gave my mom the nickname of Ducky,\" he explains. And his girlfriend, who loves dragons, has also been a caring, involved advocate. \"Baking is a labor of love and these two women supported me through the whole process,\" he reveals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ducks & Dragons carved a more arduous path than many gluten-free bakeries. As Makram notes, \"The non-gluten food market is saturated with people doing sweet (things). When you put sugar in it, it doesn't taste bad anymore. Bread's a lot trickier.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he busily engineers new processes to expand his output to meet demand and contemplates hiring some helpers, it's clear he has achieved his initial objective.

Followers include the miniscule proportion of people actually diagnosed with celiac disease -- the serious autoimmune disorder that can damage the lining of the small intestine after the consumption of the gluten in wheat, barley and rye -- as well as the many more individuals who have decided they want to cut gluten out of their diets for a host of reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Makram himself is one of those who determined that carbohydrates can be problematic when it comes to health. In fact, this is what led to the creation of Ducks & Dragons. Obese since childhood, he decided to reinvent his diet and lifestyle beginning four-plus years ago, weighing a distressing 400 pounds at the time. \"I used to eat anything -- pizza, fast food, whatever,\" he recalls. \"I didn't know about nutrition.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also didn't exercise and increasingly found that even short walks between buildings at work -- he was then a research engineer for GE Healthcare -- were an ordeal. \"I'd break into a sweat,\" he explains. \"I was wasting so much time because I was waiting for the elevator.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98152\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/baguette.jpg\" alt=\"While it doesn't have the hard crust of most wheat-based breads -- Makram prefers soft exteriors -- his baguette has a soft, pleasing texture enhanced by fine flecks of flax seed and slices and toasts like standard bread.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"512\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98152\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/baguette.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/baguette-400x205.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/baguette-800x410.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/baguette-960x492.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">While it doesn't have the hard crust of most wheat-based breads -- Makram prefers soft exteriors -- his baguette has a soft, pleasing texture enhanced by fine flecks of flax seed and slices and toasts like standard bread. \u003ccite>(Susan Hathaway)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>His personal overhaul involved learning to ride a bicycle for the first time, then expanded to workouts at the gym -- where he met his girlfriend -- and the reconstruction of his diet based on healthy principles. Makram sampled \"all the various diets -- low fat, low calories -- but I didn't like the food,\" he says. \"Eventually, I came across the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/weight-loss/in-depth/low-carb-diet/art-20045831\" target=\"_blank\">low-carb diet\u003c/a> and I adopted that and started seeing results.

Says Makram, \"People would eat it and say, 'Wow, this cannot be healthy!'\" And naturally, people kept urging him to sell his subsequent creations, which later led to a booth at a farmers market. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then he was hooked. \"It's very satisfying and I'm passionate about it,\" he reveals. \"I've see the improvement in people's lives and that has its own rewards. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had two customers who broke into tears after they tried my bread,\" remembers Makram. \"They said, 'We have not had bread in years because everything (non-gluten) out there is horrible.' I've got customers whose kids are celiac and they love it. And a lot of people just buy the bread because it's good bread that's healthier. Because of the ingredients I use, everything is high fiber. There are 12 grams of fiber in the bagels. That's a lot compared to a \u003ca href=\"http://www.beinghealthy.tv/archives/bagels/\" target=\"_blank\">normal bagel\u003c/a>.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tasting Makram's products, it's hard to believe they're gluten-free given the pleasing resemblance to regular breads. His baguettes have an appealing yeasty aroma and airy texture punctuated with ground flaxseed while his Montreal-style bagels -- smaller, sweeter and denser than the New York kind -- include one particularly popular flavor featuring a hit of chile and an abundance of toppings. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98153\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/everything-bagel.jpg\" alt='The most popular bagel flavor at Ducks & Dragons is the \"everything,\" which has just enough chile flakes to perk up the tastebuds and caraway seeds added to the other toppings.' width=\"1000\" height=\"595\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98153\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/everything-bagel.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/everything-bagel-400x238.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/everything-bagel-800x476.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/everything-bagel-960x571.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The most popular bagel flavor at Ducks & Dragons is the \"everything,\" which has just enough chile flakes to perk up the tastebuds and caraway seeds added to the other toppings. \u003ccite>(Susan Hathaway)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The backbone ingredients for Makram's products are \u003ca href=\"http://www.platedwithstyle.com/baking-flours/\" target=\"_blank\">almond, coconut, tapioca and arrowroot flours\u003c/a> along with egg whites, \u003ca href=\"http://www.healthline.com/health/psyllium-health-benefits\" target=\"_blank\">psyllium husks\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://modernistcuisine.com/2013/03/what-is-xanthan-gum/\" target=\"_blank\">xanthan gum\u003c/a> and yeast. With no culinary training and no youthful cooking experience, he had no ground rules to get in the way of his research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of the techniques I use would give a traditional baker a headache. The techniques and proportions are very different from what a traditional baker would use for a similar product,\" he says. His laboriously created process is a secret and defies what bakers believe is possible when making \u003ca href=\"http://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2013/02/low-carb-basics-baking-with-almond-flour.html\" target=\"_blank\">almond flour baked goods\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Determination also helped him refine his recipes, since his go-to mode for many things is not to give up until the goal is reached. Before creating the bakery, this remarkable discipline was seen in many successful outcomes that might have challenged others, like \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1996/04/21/nyregion/proficient-in-english-but-trying-to-lose-their-accents.html\" target=\"_blank\">extinguishing his Egyptian accent\u003c/a> through force of will after arriving with his family in the United States at age 16 and, of course, losing a massive amount of weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also credits his technical background as a useful asset in launching his currently one-man bakery. \"Once an engineer, always an engineer,\" he says. \"That's how I was able to develop this. I looked at it as an engineering problem and I went at it one step at a time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98157\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sesame-bagel.jpg\" alt=\"The sesame bagel has heaps of seeds on top and the shiny exterior that comes from being boiled -- in this case, in honey water, as is done for Montreal-style bagels.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"649\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98157\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sesame-bagel.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sesame-bagel-400x260.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sesame-bagel-800x519.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sesame-bagel-960x623.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The sesame bagel has heaps of seeds on top and the shiny exterior that comes from being boiled -- in this case, in honey water, as is done for Montreal-style bagels. \u003ccite>(courtesy of Ducks & Dragons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>However, when it came to naming his operation, his inspiration was sentimental rather than nerdy. \"Growing up, my dad gave my mom the nickname of Ducky,\" he explains. And his girlfriend, who loves dragons, has also been a caring, involved advocate. \"Baking is a labor of love and these two women supported me through the whole process,\" he reveals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ducks & Dragons carved a more arduous path than many gluten-free bakeries. As Makram notes, \"The non-gluten food market is saturated with people doing sweet (things). When you put sugar in it, it doesn't taste bad anymore. Bread's a lot trickier.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he busily engineers new processes to expand his output to meet demand and contemplates hiring some helpers, it's clear he has achieved his initial objective. Future-wise, Makram is also increasing his product line, with non-gluten pizza crust imminent and \"a lot more in store,\" he enthuses. \"I have three-and-a-half years worth of recipes!\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most telling fact is that his baked goods are yummy enough to entice consumers who don't care a fig whether they include gluten or not. Says Makram: \"People like their carbs in the form of bread and bagels but now there's a healthy option and it's delicious. It makes it easier to stick with a healthier lifestyle.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98156\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/Mina-in-bakery.jpg\" alt=\"Ducks & Dragons is located in a commercial kitchen in San Mateo called KitchenTown, which will soon be offering Makram's products a couple of days a week in the cafe that fronts the kitchens.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98156\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/Mina-in-bakery.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/Mina-in-bakery-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/Mina-in-bakery-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/Mina-in-bakery-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ducks & Dragons is located in a commercial kitchen in San Mateo called KitchenTown, which will soon be offering Makram's products a couple of days a week in the cafe that fronts the kitchens. \u003ccite>(Kimberly Sullivan)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
