The "I Can Eat That!" pizza crusts were a big hit with the teens. The kids topped them with pasta sauce, two kinds of cheese, and baked 'em in toaster ovens right there. Adults enjoyed the samples, too. Kapcakes was another popular table, as was Crave. Crave will have pumpkin pies in stores next month! I know what I'll be serving on Thanksgiving. The lunch, catered by the San Francisco Soup Co. (they also have restaurants, and understand GF!), was the best yet, I thought. There was a LOT of food. No one went home hungry. On Sep 18, 2006, at 2:08 PM, seamaiden399 wrote:Er, so did anyone eat or try any new GF products at the conferencethat tasted good?

I ate more cookies and grain-y things in

one day than I eat in months. The snickerdoodles were the best but I didn’t

get the flyer that went with them. I don’t do dairy so there were things

that looked really good that I did not try. The Crave brownies and pumpkin pie

were fabulous. ’s Gone Crackers are a regular of mine. The Kinni….

Breads really were good. I Can Eat That Bread was also quite good. The almond

cookies were good as well.

Thanks for sharing that, Debbie! I LOVE Crave's brownies. Never heard of Kapcakes, though. I am excited to get an I Can Eat That pizza, still haven't made it over to Pizza Rustica which is now serving them - They don't deliver to my neighborhood even though I'm only a mile away :-( I will definitely look into the SF Soup Co - I am always trying to figure out where I can eat that's not a big chain.

[Guest guest]

Yeah, some. Unfortunately for me,

the vast majority if things there were sweets, and I’m not really big on

them. But there were some really cool chips & stuff – there was

a SUPER yummy wasabi-like rice chip, and Amy’s has a GF pizza!!!! I

almost cried when I saw that.

For the most part I didn’t try all

that much though, because, like I said, I’m not big on sweets…

I even tried to force myself to try stuff while it was right in front of me,

but alas…

I bet you want the names of stuff

too. On the rice chips, I don’t know the name because I already

threw away the bag, but it starts with an “M”, is one word &

they have it at Rainbow Grocery.

Rice Works Sweet Chili Brown Rice Crisps

are yummy too!

Also, by the by, San Francisco Soup

Company (www.sfsoupco.com) has 30

different GF soups – they catered the event.

They have a BUNCH of stores – though

I hope that doesn’t detract you from patronizing their chain. I think wherever

we can we should give them positive reinforcement – i.e.: buy their stuff!

The lunch sounds fabulous! Thanks for the tip on San Francisco Soup

Co- I'll put them on my gluten free radar! Is Kapcakes a local GF

company? I couldn't seem to find any info about them online.. Crave

Pumpkin pie, huh? Sounds great! Thank you for the reply.

San Francisco Soup Co. is a Mom and Pop outfit (Mom has baby #4 on the way, and was working along with her husband all day Saturday). I stopped by in the afternoon to thank them for the yummy soup & salad lunch ("I Can Eat That!" supplied the foccacia). They have 10 restaurants in the Bay Area and they *get* GF. I plan to visit their East Palo Alto restaurant very soon. Here's their web site:http://www.sfsoupco.com/ Confession: I'm not a celiac (although I do carry the HLA-DQ2 gene). My 16-year-old daughter was diagnosed at 20 months, so I've cooked GF and dined GF for 14 years. As many of you know, there are a LOT more products available now. I think "I Can Eat That!" pizza crusts rival any pizza parlor crusts, and Crave brownies are better than any wheat brownie on the market. I have half a Crave brownie when I want a treat.  On Sep 18, 2006, at 7:41 PM, Lillyth Denaghy Keogh-Quillan wrote:They have a BUNCH of stores – though I hope that doesn’t detract you from patronizing their chain.  I think wherever we can we should give them positive reinforcement – i.e.: buy their stuff! From: [mailto: ]On Behalf Of Isaiah Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 3:00 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Re: question re Stanford conference and GF products Thanks for sharing that, Debbie!

For anyone who attended, the free bag of rice chips

(which I think was Rice Works) that came in our bags

has oat fiber listed as an ingredient. So, I decided

not to eat mine.

I like sweets and here were my favorites: Kapkakes, which are frozen, and can only be found in SF, where I live, at Whole Foods 's Gone Crackers, which I already knew about & like, & seems to be widely available Natasha's Health Nut Cookies (www.healthnutcookies.com) really delicious Mariposa biscotti www.mariposabaking.com Vere chocolates www.veregoods.com, and Bard's Tale Beer, which is made from sorghum. www.bardsbeer.com I'm not a heavy or fanatical beer drinker but this tasted good to me. The SF

Soup Co had lots of GF soups to sample, incl gazpacho. Quite tasty. It was also helpful to taste the things I ended up not liking, since GF food is so expensive. I discovered many to avoid, but didn't keep track of them as much as the ones I liked. Sharon

Debbie,

Your daughter introduced me to this list,

for which I am eternally grateful. It took me a bit to realize (at the

Conference) that you are the author of that book, and that Molly is you

daughter.

I brings tears to my eyes to see what a

good mother you are, going gluten free for her, writing that book, and how much

of a contribution you have made to the world -- you ROCK!!!!

Oh Damn! Now I feel like that

next-to-last-lady’s talk was lost on me. I assumed that since it came

from the conference that it was okay & I ate it.

I don’t think I had any reaction to

it, but I was pretty out of it when I ate them (late night, early morning and a

nitrate reaction), so maybe I wouldn’t have noticed it.

Did anyone else eat them & react?

We ate those Rice Works chips without checking the ingredients, too. I sent the

company

an inquiry and will post the reply. Thanks for noticing it! It is a good

reminder of

something we learned at the conference, that there is no legal definition for

" glutten-free "

yet. There will be one in a couple of years, but until then, you have to examine

the

ingredients and decide for yourself.

The new allergy labelling law helps tremendously, though. The talk on reading

labels gave

me a lot more confidence in choosing products. There can no longer be ANY hidden

wheat, if I understand correctly, because wheat is covered by the law, and has

to be clearly

labelled as WHEAT. Rye and oats are rarely hidden ingredients and are easy to

spot. That

leaves barley; you still have to be on the lookout for malt-related ingredients.

The other delicious chips were Rice Sembei Snacks by Masuya. I love the Tamari

flavor and

already found them at Whole Foods.

About those Rice Works chips from the Stanford Conference which have oat fiber

listed as

an ingredient:

Rice Works food scientist Corbett says that the oat fiber did not end up

being an

ingredient at all, but that the bags had already been printed with that

ingredient. So they

do not contain oat fiber. She also says that the oat fiber they had intended to

use was

processed in a way that left no gluten in it, and that it had been declared to

be gluten-free

by the manufacturer. They will change the ingredient list to remove oat fiber,

and post an

explanation on their website.

Munch away!
