Those who have been on a gluten free diet know how challenging it is to not only find food that is completely gluten free, but also to find gluten free food that actually tastes good. Gluten is the “glue” within the wheat that when made into flour, holds the food together. It gives elasticity and buoyancy to the dough. When you have to use food without flour, often you find the texture quite lacking or even gritty and tasteless. There are many that have to embrace this gluten free lifestyle, either by choice or diagnosis with a gluten sensitivity or intolerance (such as Celiac Disease). Finding a restaurant that serves many gluten free options can be tricky. Thomas Oliver’s Gourmet Catering prides itself in offering not just one or two gluten free options but dozens of tasty choices that will satisfy and delight.

We practice safe cooking and are careful with cross contamination

Those with gluten sensitivity or intolerance know exactly how it feels when they eat something contaminated with gluten. Even the very tiniest of particles contaminating the food can cause a reaction for those with this sensitivity. The pain, indigestion, bloating and other uncomfortable symptoms can destroy the next few days. Thomas Oliver’s Gourmet Catering employees carefully prepare all gluten free dishes by doing the following:

• Using clean gloves not contaminated by gluten foods
• Cleaning preparation areas thoroughly to ensure gluten particles are not left behind
• Sterilizing grills and other areas where gluten foods are prepared
• Avoiding sauces and spices containing gluten additives and preservatives in recipes
• Serving gluten free dishes in an area away from gluten containing mealsIt is not enough to just create entrees, appetizers and desserts with gluten free ingredients, but it is imperative to practice caution when preparing, baking and cooking. The last thing we would want is to have our customers experience pain or illness at our negligence. We exercise the utmost care to ensure this will not happen.
