Gluten-Free Baked Goods Go Gourmet – and Online

Gourmet, high-caliber gluten-free baked goods are hard to find or non-existent. To help fill this void, an alumnus of the California Culinary Arts School has helped launch Mariposa Baking -- a boutique, gluten-free baking company exclusively dedicated to crafting exceptional gourmet baked goods. Mariposa expertly honed its recipes and tested them on some of the finest palates in the San Francisco Bay Area, until their gluten-free products became indiscernible from the finest wheat-based goods.

(PRWEB) January 27, 2005 -- Why gluten-free? Many of today's health problems are caused by intolerance to gluten - the protein found mainly in wheat, but also in barley and oats. The problem is, many of the current gluten-free baking companies produce average-tasting products. Gourmet, high-caliber gluten-free baked goods are hard to find or non-existent.

To help fill this void, Mariposa Baking has launched a boutique baking company exclusively dedicated to crafting exceptional gluten-free baked goods. Mariposa expertly honed its recipes and tested them on some of the finest palates in the San Francisco Bay Area, until their gluten-free products became indiscernible from the finest wheat-based goods.

The creations from Mariposa Baking come from Kyoko Hiramatsu and Patti Furey-Crane. Kyoko, an alumnus of the California Culinary Arts School had experience creating pastries in San Francisco’s La Nouvelle Patisserie and upscale restaurant Hawthorne Lane. Patti, diagnosed with gluten intolerance several years ago was unable to locate premium gluten-free products and had developed recipes of her own. Together they knew they had the expertise needed to create a small, boutique gluten-free baking company in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Mariposa’s products are available at specialty stores in the San Francisco Bay Area and online @ www.mariposabaking.com. They offer three kinds of gluten-free biscotti, which are dairy-free as well: almond, ginger spice and orange walnut. Mariposa also specializes in gluten-free truffle brownies, available in choices of triple chocolate, walnut and espresso. All Mariposa products are gluten-free, wheat-free, preservative-free and contain no hydrogenated oils.
