Kat's Kitchen is a startup food business in Bloomington, Indiana, geared towards using natural, organic, and local ingredients (whenever possible) to create flavorful, nutritious, and intriguing gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian products.
This venture grew out of a need for more gluten-free (AND dairy-free, AND vegetarian) food choices in our region. Some places (especially large cities) are doing really well with this, and many grocery stores and restaurant chains have increased their gluten-free options exponentially in the last few years. But since many people have multiple food sensitivities or dietary restrictions, the trick is to find places that carry food that meets all your needs -- while also avoiding the cross-contamination with the products you can't eat.
While there are many ready-made gluten-free products on the market today that are really wonderful, I think we have a long way to go to close the gap between the glutinous and gluten-free eating schemes, particularly when it comes to eating out and carrying in. So Kat's Kitchen is my attempt to help move this mission forward, to increase the meal options for people with Celiac's Disease and other gluten enteropathies in my community.
I know it can be daunting for some people to have to give up so many foods they love all at once, but what makes it hard is not that good gluten-free food is not available -- because it is -- it's just a matter of figuring out where to find it (or how to make it! :).
I'll be making periodic posts about gluten-free events, opportunities to sample products, recipes, and other tips on how to make the conversion to a gluten-free lifestyle a little easier.
I'll even have monthly polls to find out what products you'd be most interested in -- but you don't have to wait for a poll! I'd love to hear from you with any ideas or suggestions you may have.
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you find something you like here.
To your health!
best,
Kat
