Zooey Deschanel Challenges Top Chefs to cook Gluten Free
On tonight's episode of Top Chef Masters, the chefs were charged with preparing a dinner party for Zooey Deschanel and her friends. Just a few limitations: Zooey is vegan, gluten-intolerant and can't have soy. Talk about Gobsmacked!!!! After the chefs picked their chins off the ground, they quickly regrouped and planned their menus.
Here's what the Top Chefs made:
Rick Bayless
Sweet Corn Tamales
Chili-braised Black Beans
Braised Greens & Glazed Mushrooms
Hubert Keller
White Gazpacho (in shot glasses!)
Timbale of Avocado & Asparagus
Roasted Beet Salad
Anita Lo
Spicy Grilled Eggplant
Lentil Salad with Cashew Sauce
Art Smith (who went home tonight)
Strawberry & Champagne soup
Strawberry Rice Ice Cream
Almond Brittle
Michael Chiarello won with a Quinoa Pasta with Salsa Verde and Pine Nut Gremolata that made Zooey's blue eyes sparkle.

Candy is Dandy
Sometimes, I get tired of trying to figure out which foods have gluten in them. When I want a treat, I want a treat...now! Happily, most candy in the grocery store checkout aisles or on the convenience store shelves are gluten free. In fact, there are so many, it's easier to just list those we CAN'T have...
These candies are NOT gluten free:
3 Musketeers Poppables
Altoids Sugarfree Mints
Kit Kat
Hershey's Minis
Hershey's Bar or Nuggets with cookie or crispies
Hershey's Krackle
M&Ms Crispy
Milky Way bar
Nestle Crunch
Reese's Sticks
Snickers Poppables
Twix
Twizzlers
Whoppers
Wonka bar
Happy snacking, GF Friends!
