The BRM line has many options for the gluten-free cook and baker including Rice flours, Tapioca, Almond, Corn, etc.

Recently I purchased a bag of BRM corn flour. When I got it home I noticed that it did not have a gluten-free statement on the package so I contacted the company. According to their representative, BRM has two separate manufacturing facilities – one for traditional processing and another dedicated to gluten-free processing.

It is important if you are purchasing BRM that the package contain the BRM symbol for gluten-free – that symbol will only appear on packages processed in the dedicated facility – the symbol is a red circle with a chaff of wheat in the middle and a slash mark through it to indicate ‘no wheat’.

If there is no symbol then the grain was processed in the traditional facility and cannot be considered gluten-free.

When I was in culinary school (2010) nuts.com was one of the few sites I could get product for modifications to my culinary and baking recipes to create gluten-free options. The products were great and the company has come a long way to understanding and making considerations for the needs of Celiac guests!

Super beautiful Saturday evening in Cleveland, The Summer Solstice. Heading to the Cleveland Museum of Art Solstice Celebration we stopped first for dinner at Michelangelo’s in Little Italy. While I was not sure what to expect since I will typically call ahead and find out the details of their gluten-free awareness I was pleasantly surprised to find that they are very accommodating. Our server explained that they have gluten-free pasta and lots of sauces to have with it but since I do not typically eat pasta I was more interested in the Entree Offerings. I was not disappointed. The gluten-free options offered included two fish items, duck and tenderloin. The evenings specials included a Mushroom Risotto and a Cioppino – both of which might have appealed to me but which I forgot to inquire about – next time! Our server recommended either the Duck or the Tenderloin coupled with a risotto on the side and I opted for the duck! It was perfectly prepared and totally yummy! She also recommended the Arneis wine which was amazing and which I had never had before. The restaurant was packed – including a huge private party in one of the dining rooms so service was a bit bogged down but our server was attentive and gracious and extremely helpful. (6/14)

Cassandra Fears whips up lovely caramels, marshmallows, sponges and truffles in her kitchen then hand dips them one at a time for sweetly exquisite treats! The chocolate she uses in the manufacture of her candies is gluten-free and the above items listed include only pure sugars, creams, and flavorings.

Note to the wary! Cassandra does produce – in the same kitchen – brownies and other baked goods that are not gluten-free so (currently) this is a shared equipment facility.
