New York Times recently featured an article on gluten-free eating.
Erin McKenna, owner of BabyCakes vegan dessert restaurants in New York and Los Angeles is quoted. McKenna has multiple food sensitivities and was forced to give up wheat in 2002. Unfortunately, it also forced her to give up taste.
“They were heavy and dry and just not good,” McKenna said of the gluten-free pastries she tried. So she opened up her own bakery that became a hit among New Yorkers and nationwide with the help of a few celebrity fans like Pamela Anderson and Jason Schwartzman who passed along the word to the media.
McKenna has published two cookbooks with recipes from the bakery, including her latest, BabyCakes Covers the Classics, which features vegan versions of donuts, Girl Scout Cookies and more.
According to the Center for Celiac Research at the University of Maryland, about 6% of the population has sensitivities to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.
