okay the corn muffins were a hit my boyfriend couldn't even tell they were gf/df and that I made them, he says your
doing a great job and that they taste "normal"
having fresh baked cookie smell in my house is a wonderful thing, it is so nice to have such a verity of cookies my kids
love them.
girl that banana cake was out of this world, it was so moist and yummy, and the fresh banana in the middle just topped it
you would never have thought it was sugar free. (sf banana cake w/fresh sliced banana and whip cream filling and
frosting)
two thumbs up on the ravioli it was so nice to come home from work and pop them in the oven, by time i had the salad
done we had fresh baked ravioli and my husband and daughter thought they were delicious, your alfredo sauce was
yummy too. thanks so much (spinach ravioli w/alfredo sauce)
I got two muffin samples today. OMG it was so good (pumpkin spice)
It was great meeting with you today. we loved the muffins, and the whole family thought the apple pie (we had a bit after
dinner) was equally delicious as well. The crust was so flakey, and not at all bulky-blandish (sounds like a gluten free
term) or gooey – like some we’ve seen. we had a few GF snacks thus far, but the banana muffins, he said, were the
best muffins he’s EVER had gluten free or not. Just wanted to pass that along. I look forward to trying some of the other
things on the list as I get a better idea of what we might need or want to try. (banana muffins, chocolate chip cookie
dough, apple pie)
Dawn, I just wanted to let you know my daughter absolutely loved her birthday cake it was so much more then we were
expecting, and I can't believe the cakes were so good!!!! we can not wait for the bakery and love that you are doing
what your doing, you made her feel so special thank you again. (pond/creek scene) (red velvet, white chocolate)
Last night I made fresh clam fritters. The flour/batter fried up so beautifully....so much better than regular wheat flour.
They were perfect....and I'm a major critic of clam fritters. The outside was crispy/crunchy and a beautiful color, the
inside melted in my mouth. Two big thumbs up...way up...for the flour mix.
I substituted your 'flour' as well, agave syrup as the sweetner. It is a fantastic cake. It rose up nicely, in fact even taller
than I expected...and NO grainy texture. (Who need that gluten, anyway?)
the tiramsiu cake was a huge hit, and really made my mother's Christmas special. thank you so much for going the extra
mile (or several!) to get these to us in time for our gatherings. I'll definitely be in touch for future orders.
just to let you know I used your flour mix to make our christmas cake and brownies, they turned out wonderful I did just
like you said I follow a regular recipe and just substituted your flour mix and it turned out, I could not believe it.
Thank you so much for sending me a small blackberry pie to taste last Sunday! It was so good, I could not believe how
delicious it was! Wow! You are doing a fantantic job!
OK Dawn,
You and McNish's have GOT MY ATTENTION ! ! !
I was so surprised to return from being out of town overnight and find the balckberry pie. I am very impressed with your
customer service...and I'm not really even a customer yet. Being hard to impresss makes me a good mark for good
food. I did not get a birthday cake this last July, due to the gluten intolerance. However, I just had the nicest treat of
blackberry pie that has taken the place of any old gluten-filled birthday cake. Your pie is super! The flavor of the
berries is tart, but not too twangy. It's juicy, but not too juicy. The crust has great flavor...the almond extract does the
trick. It gets an A+ in gluten-free baking. Congratulations! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making me feel so
special.....and coming all the way to Occidental to do so.

Thank you for enabling me to have a traditional Thanksgiving. Everything was wonderful, and the apple pie was
amazing!!
all I can say is mmmmmmmmmmmm lemon bars, thank you thank you thank you.
the blackforest cake was great, I had never tried one before it was real nice to be able to eat it and not have to worry
about getting sick later, thank you.
the grandkids and I had a great time making cookies this year, I want to thank you for the dough it was so easy we were
able to roll out the sugar dough and the kids made pumpkins they had so much fun.
The turkey dinner was very good and the servings where great thanks, I had enough turkey & stuffing to make the best
leftover grilled turkey sandwich in a long time :-))
I want to Thank you again for the last minute order the pies where delicious.
I wish you could hear me scream with joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the carrot cake was absolutely amazing my guest really enjoyed it,
I want to thank you for helping me pull off my first gf thanksgiving.
I just wanted to tell you that I didn't think that a gluten free/sugar free pie would taste good but everyone loved the apple
pie you made, the crust was flaky and it was not to sweet. thank you (apple pie w/agauva nectar)
I absolutely love everything that you have made! You have such a fantastic talent! I can't wait for you to open up your
store/bakery. I look forward to making my next order even though I don't have a gluten intolerance: I just love the
product! Mmm... pumpkin roll!!!
I have to think you're in the right area and I have to say that your chocolate cupcakes were amazing! I wouldn't have
known they were gluten free. My gluten free bread choices in the store are appalling and the bread is like a brick
instead of bread, so if your bread is anything like your cupcakes I'd have to imagine you could sell to Oliver's Markets or
Trader Joe's, maybe even Whole Foods. They were wonderful. Thanks for dropping them off
That german chocolate cake you made for me was one of the best I have ever had the frosting had just enough
sweetness, I can't wait to try another cake
WOW! The coconut cookies today are totally outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They were fantastic. Been meaning to send you a reminder. Thanks for the email. Have to say those were by far, and
without comparison, the best gluten free bread products I've ever had. If you haven't opened your store yet, you are
going to be a smash hit from day one. Nothing else Ive eaten that is gluten free and bread based is going to compare to
your stuff.
I just wanted to let you know I miss you at the market and can't wait till your store opens. Have you tried the SR or
Sonoma year round markets? (yes we have, on the waiting list for both and next year we are hoping to due the
sebastopol, cotati, and petaluma markets)
Thank you for the sample of biscotti can I put in a order, and can you deliver to my work :-)) (yes to both)
Your New York Cheesecake was soooooo! good. Do you sell the graham crackers or crumbs by themselves? (yes) It
has been so long since I have had cheesecake, thank you again
the german chocolate cake was absolutely delicious, it was so moist I still can't believe it was gluten free.
I just wanted to let you know that my daughter loved her birthday cake. (lemon cake w/lemon custard filling)
Your peanut butter cookies were fabulous, sugar cookies outstanding, coconut cookies mandatory, zucchini bread
terrific, banana bread wonderful, but the lemon poppy seed need help( df version we're working on it)
do you remember me, at first I was hesitant to make a purchase then you offered me a free sample of my choosing
(strawberry cake w/strawberry glaze and whip cream) I didn't make it to the parking lot before it was gone and I turned
around and bought the chocolate mint cake it was also delicious. can't wait till next week thank you.
I loved the veal parmesan and your garlic mashed potatoes were wonderful, I also like the fresh green beans :-)
OMG Dawn, it was wonderful! She ate the WHOLE thing. and her favorite was the apple pie. Thank you again, and we
look forward to our next order from you. (Dinner: chicken enchiladas, spanish rice, refried beans, tortilla chips,
guacamole, salsa and gravenstein apple pie)
tell your daughter she is a great salesperson, I loved the pumpkin roll.
I just wanted to let you know that I think your macaroni and cheese is the best gluten free that I have tried it was very
creamy and your chicken nuggets were crunchy?? how do you do that? when you open your store are you going to do
cooking classes?
The cake was beautiful and delicious. Gave out two cards of yours also. thanks (9" birthday cake: coconut cream w/whip
cream frosting and cherries)
This is soo exciting and can make such a difference in so many peoples lives. There's not enough talked about celiac
and we should be seen just as important and not a complete minority who doesn't deserve all the pleasures and
conveniences as everyone else. Thank you
would love to see you move to the Santa Rosa farmers market as well.
Thank you so much for the free scones. They were very nice, but I felt they needed something more - like fruit or nuts
inside.
Loved your macadamia nut cookies & blackberry pie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to next week!
I just wanted to say that I was driving behind one of your vans and could not believe my eyes when it said gluten and
wheat free products, I couldn't wait to write down the website. thank you so much
I hope this spreads. It is really time consuming trying to grocery shop. It can take multiple trips around town to gather all
the needed foods.
this is a great idea I know a lot of people that would like to see this store locally, we are tired of stores that don't have a
lot of variety when we know there are a lot more gluten free manufactures out there.
I think this would be a great thing. I know a store like this just opened down in Sherman Oaks or thousand oaks and it is
doing extremely well. A store would be a great thing in the north bay, then people with Celiac can shop worry free
knowing everything they see they can have. :)
There's always been a need for your type of bakery. Years ago, in the '70's when I diagnosed myself as having celiac's
(I've always got excema, dry skin and stomach aches when eating too much wheat), I bought gluten free bakery goods--
Giusto's in South SF used to carry non-gluten cookies--rice and soy, but they've stopped those items awhile back. Have
been experimenting on my own with rice, oat and potato flours (soy doesn't work for me). Thanks for making this
possible!
Since one in every 145 people have Celiac I think this type of store is needed, I just meet a couple in a local store trying
to find ingredients for gluten free bread her husband just found out he had celiac they are an older couple and were
very disappointed in the lack of choices they live in Petaluma CA . I have another friend who's child needs to eat gluten
free they live in Santa Rosa CA and still many more to many to list who live in this or surrouding area's. Thank You for
considering this type of store.
We would love to support anyone who helps the Celiac community. Please keep us updated via email. And we will try to
stop by the Cotati Market this week!!!!
Love your products, if you happen to read this at 4:00 on Saturday July 18 please call me, I am having a desert dilemma
for a party. Thanks if not I'll see you at the farmers market.
My little sister just found you at the farmers market tonight! I found out I had Celiacs about 6 months ago and have been
trying to adjust to this new lifestyle ever since. I get so excited when I learn about new products and meet people that
share the illness. I tried the pumpkin roll and lemon bar tonight and they were delicious! Probably the best gluten free
treats I have had. Thank you! This is very exciting for me. I will have to stop by the farmers market sometime, although I
will be out of town next week. Best of luck to you and thank you again. If you ever decide to "teach" a gf baking class, I
would be very interested.
I have been on a gluten free diet for three weeks and have just wanted to give up many times, all for the same difficulties
that you have encountered. But unfortunately that is not an option. When my friend gave me your card I felt comforted,
like I wasn't alone. It gave me the confidence to know that this is an obstacle I will be able to live with. Thank you
Meeting your family at the Farmer's Market was just delightful. I haven't had cake in sooo long and your banana cake
was delicious! I'm telling everyone about you :) The sooner you open a shop the better
doing a great job and that they taste "normal"
