Dean Lavornia, Associate Professor at Johnson and Wales University in Providence, RI, presented this gluten free flour blend at the 2008 Gluten-Free Culinary Summit. A talented pastry chef, Dean's wife and children suffer from Celiac disease, which has motivated him to develop amazing gluten free pastries. He uses this gluten free flour blend to make gingerbread houses at Christmas, gingerbread cut-out cookies and a fabulous Honey Pecan Tart with Gingerbread Crust.
