celi-yak summer 09 www.celiac.mb.ca celiac notes travelling celiacs janet dalziel s cca president experiences my recent travels in british columbia and alberta demonstrated again what i ve been saying for a while and hearing from others as well people working in the hospitality industry are much better prepared to look after us and our diets than ever before when i asked for bacon and eggs and no toast in a hotel in vancouver they offered me gluten-free bread that they keep on hand at a major hotel one delightful server s response to me was you are my responsibility and i will look after you our b&b in drumheller baked homemade sticky buns for everyone and bought the gf version from kinnickinnik for me with the addition of some extra caramel sauce my plate looked just like everyone else s in a tiny greek restaurant in a small town the owner s wife was sorry that she hadn t known we were coming ahead of time since she often baked gf goodies for her friend and considered herself an expert closer to home in ontario i went to a macdonald s and ordered my burger without a bun the scraggly teenager behind the counter beamed at me and said celiac disease my friend has that hard isn t it every time one of us goes out to eat or travels to a new place that opportunity to educate and raise awareness presents itself and it s working new york buenos aires dublin helsinki and pastries can be leaden dry and crumbly it took more than 40 dozen batches he said my background in organic chemistry definitely helped the work paid off risotteria is a nationally known hub for people with celiac disease visitors frequently arrive at the restaurant straight from the airport suitcases in tow and dinner can seem like a celiac support group as regulars swivel in their chairs to talk about their hunt for food they can eat on a recent tuesday night at mr pace s restaurant a preppy couple asked the people at the next table about the sicilian pizza they were trying from the specials list farther down the packed narrow space diners exchanged guidebooks to gluten-free restaurants and compliments flew around the room about the breadsticks the light beer made from sorghum instead of malted barley and the rich brownies and cookies at the door a leather-jacketed couple discussed menu options and waited impatiently to get in are you going to get the gluten-free pizza the woman asked of course her companion replied you have to understand this is like a chance of a lifetime for me like mr pace a growing number of restaurateurs have decided it s worth catering to the gluten-free crowd chains like outback steakhouse and p f changes now offer dishes without gluten new bakeries and pizzerias have popped up all over new york city and restaurants that were already celiacfriendly have expanded their menus there s vegan at candle 79 fusion food at asia de cuba italian at sambuca greek at gus place and comfort food at peters gourmet diner all gluten-free gluten-averse diners avidly track such sympathetic places with online help from glutenfreerestaurants.org and the tribe of celiac blogs that include in new york gluten freenyc glutenfreenyc.blogspot.com gluten free guide glutenguide.blogspot.com and please don t pass the nuts allergicgirl.blogspot.com aside from safe food they can find a camaraderie that s unusual on new york s jaded dining scene the pleasures of dining out are often denied people who avoid gluten because they are sensitive to it or have celiac disease menus are a source of anxiety and self-consciousness because besides its presence in obvious culprits like bread sauce thickeners pasta and desserts gluten also lurks in soy sauce brewer s yeast bourbon vegetable starch vinegars salad dressings processed cheeses and some spices creating a gluten-free menu is more difficult than say offering vegetarian options at a steakhouse chefs have to master special techniques and follow stringent regulations mr pace said each menu item pizza focaccia breadsticks cakes took six months to develop with the ingredients costing nearly five times as much as conventional ones in buenos aires you have little trouble getting a gluten-free ice cream cone in helsinki you can order a gluten-free big mac at mcdonald s in dublin most menus are clearly marked safe for celiacs i ve definitely seen a spike in business said anthony avellino owner of bistango a 16-year-old italian restaurant in murray hill mr avellino recently added dishes made with tinkyada brown rice pasta and dishes from everybody eats bakery in brooklyn like celiac-safe bruschetta served on gluten-free bread and after-dinner biscotti referenced from the new york times closer to home morden and winkler we have a very good health food store in morden called feelin good the owner advertises gluten free foods all of the time and she has two freezers and shelves full of the different brands continued on page 9 risotteria in greenwich village is a hub for people who are sensitive to gluten it started with a gluten-free cookie a simple step it might seem but gluten a protein in wheat barley and rye gives baked goods elasticity without it cakes breads 8
