Gluten Free Frenzy. Tell All Tuesday: Chef Alain Braux by Chandice Probst.

Please tell everyone a little about yourself

I am a classically trained French chef that developed a gluten allergy with age. I know, a French chef that cannot eat French bread and croissants? What’s up with that? So I decided to make the best of a bad situation and Voila! A GF French chef.

After a long career in the “traditional” food business, after I found out about my allergy, I decided to focus on creating GF food and desserts. I am lucky to be a chef and nutrition therapist at a progressive pharmacy – yes, a pharmacy not a restaurant. It’s called Peoples Pharmacy in Austin, TX. We offer a wide choice of GF, DF, CF, SF and Paleo food and desserts. We also offer GF groceries, GF cosmetics, grass-fed beef and pasture-raised chickens and eggs.

After playing around with GF food for a while, I decided to write a practical book on the subject: Living Gluten and Dairy-Free with French Gourmet Food by offering advices on how to live gluten and dairy-free, many pages of hidden sources of gluten and a long, long GF shopping list. To make it even more fun, I added about 80 GD/CF recipes. So far, I have received great feedback on it.
