NOTE FROM ALICE BAST
NFCA Executive Director What's for dinner? For many of us with celiac disease, this simple question can be a perplexing one. We delight in the fact that all it takes to remain healthy is that we adhere to a gluten-free diet for life. In actuality, it takes some practice to learn to read labels, find good sources of gluten-free food that is tasty, and to develop those recipes that will make our families happy and well-nourished. This month, the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) is taking a step to advance the art of gluten-free cooking and demonstrate that a gluten-free menu can be delicious and fun to prepare. On March 2nd, NFCA will hold a Gluten-Free Cooking Spree at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) in New York City. This event pairs New York City doctors with celebrity chefs from The Big Apple in a competition to develop and prepare the most scrumptious gluten-free dishes. Our goal is to heighten the chef’s awareness of the gluten-free diet and engage doctors more closely in the world of celiac disease. Heidi Collins, Co-Anchor of CNN Newsroom and NFCA national spokesperson, will host the event that will feature gluten-free hors d’ouerves and desserts, wine and Redbridge beer from Anheuser-Busch, a new entry in the gluten-free beer marketplace. The Gluten-Free Cooking Spree is part of the NFCA National Awareness Campaign. Our over-arching goal is to gain a prompt and correct diagnosis of celiac disease for the three million Americans who suffer. In the process, we aim to “reclaim health and restore lives.” To learn more about the NFCA Gluten-Free Cooking Spree and to register to attend, check the NFCA website at www.celiaccentral.org. BON APPETIT! |
