WHY BEND GLUTEN FREE?
Recently, I watched a show called Ugly Delicious with Chef David Chang. At one point, it poked fun at fortune cookies. People would break them open and read the planted fortunes inside. They were humorous and clever. One read, “Gluten free? Go f*#^ yourself.” I laughed at the time, but couldn't stop thinking about that quip for days. Why? Because I and many of the 18 million others in the U.S. with gluten intolerance, would LOVE to eat a good Chinese meal, if only we could find one reliably GF. Gluten-free Chinese doesn't have to be an oxymoron. I admire and applaud chefs like Chang who pride themselves in creating authentic dishes, but if your mom or child was celiac would you cling to tradition? If so, you would sadly discover your loved one standing at the stove making poached eggs. This blog exists because nobody should end up lonely and disappointed in the kitchen, while the rest of the gang eats heartily in the dining room.
