Boston Gluten-Free Cooking Spree a Delicious Success
On September 13, 2008 the NFCA hosted the Boston Gluten-Free Cooking Spree at the Back Bay Events Center. It was a fantastic and light-hearted event that celebrated how fast awareness about celiac disease is spreading! We welcomed people who have been eating gluten-free for years, those that have been newly diagnosed, their friends, family and those just wanting to learn more about the disease. The food was incredible and showcased how delicious eating gluten-free can be!
