Mixes Minus Gluten

Five years ago, professional chef and food writer Beth Hillson developed baking mixes made without gluten to meet the health needs of herself and her son.

Today, a full range of products - including the rice-flour-based bread, muffin and brownie mixes pictured here - are available from her Connecticut company, The Gluten-Free Pantry. A portion of the proceeds is donated to research on celiac, an intestinal disease that affects young children.

Price: Bread mix, $4.75; muffin/quick bread mix, $4.95; brownie mix, $5.95 (plus shipping).

Available: By mail from The Gluten-Free Pantry, P.O. Box 840, Glastonbury, CT 06033. For a free catalog, call (860) 633-3826 or fax to (860) 633-6853.
