all the Raves for  THE GLUTEN FREE MAMA

Hi Rachel - I just had to write to tell you THANK YOU on all fronts - from the totally unexpected expedited shipping for the pie crusts I ordered, to the kind email exchange, to the unbelievably FABULOUS product - dealing with you and your company has been perfect all the way around. The following is a review I wrote for a celiac e-list I'm on, and I wanted to share it with you:

"So on Thursday afternoon, while my extended family were having cocktails, I made pie - a towering apple pie with a lattice Mama's crust. I tasted the dough (an old secret pleasure of mine - I LOVE the oily, buttery pie dough, and this tasted like old times). One of my favorite pie recipes is from the Silver Palate Cookbook, and it's the Sour Cream Apple Pie, but my daughter didn't want that, just a traditional pie, so I compromised. I made the Mama's crust according to the directions (which I have to say are nearly exactly like a wheat-based crust), except that instead of water I used apple cider, and I also added a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, too (these additions from the Silver Palate recipe). The dough rolled out LIKE NORMAL!!

And it went into the pan LIKE NORMAL!!!! And the pie, when it went into the oven, LOOKED TOTALLY NORMAL!!!!! There was zero crumbling, zero cracks, just a pretty little pie with it's jaunty lattice crust bubbling away in the oven. And OHHHHHH, Mama - it was heavenly - delicate, flakey, tender, not tough, gritty or odd-tasting. I truly never thought that going gf was going to taste good, and this really REALLLLLY tasted terrific."

Well, there it is - Rachel, you've got a winner on your hands!!!!!
That pie was so unbelievably good that my dairy farmer significant other, who is not gf and terribly disgusted by the thought of anything but "real" food, ate not only a large piece of pie on Thanksgiving, but he helped my daughter and me polish off the rest the next day!!!

I'm so very happy - baking and cooking in general is a "thing" in my foodie family (my sister is a professional chef, and her husband is actually a quite famous one.....as I said, cooking is a "thing" for us), and I truly never thought I'd have a pleasing experience with pies ever again. I'm already concocting recipes of my own to use with this crust, and excitedly waiting for Christmas and my favorite pecan pie. Thank you so very much all over again, Rachel! If there's ever anything I can do to help you and/or your company, please let me know.

Also, I'll check your website now to see if there's a place for me to write a review!

All the best - Rebecca Collins
