Against The Grain Gluten & Dairy free bread 

Most recently we were in to Rio Vida seeking something special for Mother's Day and we were, as always, greeted with a huge hello and caring, sincere smiles. Najah shared with us some of her most recent selection of gluten free products. Some of the items were made by her while another one in particular was not.

Najah explained that her friend Brian from Lakeview Bakery in Calgary comes up to Edmonton every Friday with palates of freshly made gluten free Artisan home made breads. She then sells the loafs over the weekend and if there are any leftover they are frozen and available for sale as well. We tried the loaf of bread and it was amazing. We were so pleased with the taste and texture of the bread. You will truly think that it must be a regular gluten bread when you taste it. It is simply lovely.

While we were at Rio Vida we also got some of Najah's own handmade gluten free Artisan buns for our Mother's Day BBQ. They were excellent. I know most people would never even think of something like this, but my only comment about the buns was that they were full sized and I could not eat the entire bun. I know, silly isn't it but it's the truth.
