Talking Allergies

Hi there.

I'm on the hunt for soy free, nut free bread.

I live in Montreal but am willing to mail order and have it flown in!

Maybe Santa will put some in my Christmas sock this year???

I live in Montreal too. I know Pom is nut free. Not sure for Soy, I would have to check tonight.

At costco they have a "baguette" bread that is frozen and if I am not mistaken it is milk-free (that one I know), soy free (my friend checked it, but I remember her saying it was ok) and peanut free (someone I know checked and I think she said it was ok), so you can have a look at that... at least it's bread and it's perfect for sandwiches! It is sold in a large brown box next to the croissants (don't take the ones in the bags... they become extremely hard when heated )

Thanks so much to both of you. I will be sure to investigate based on your leads.

I sometimes feel like I should be in CSI - Food Division with all of the research, analysis and label reading.

Best to be safe....

Thanks again!

There's also EnerG bread--but that is also wheat free. (so it is kind of dry and has a grainy texture + is very costly. But it tastes great as toast.)

As a last resort, purchase a bread making machine. I have one for 10 years and i love it. At least its safe.

Yep, love the bread machine. It sure beats making bread from scratch in the midde of August.

How much does the machine cost?

My Mom bought my bread machine for me .it cost around 160.00 and that was 10 years ago. Now I see them in the advertisements for about $100.00. I hope you can get one because it is the safest way to enjoy bread and even make your own pizza dough etc. I make my own raisin bread and nothing like it. I dont have to worry about cross contamination. I would not be with out it.

I recently purchased a Black and Decker breadmaker for only $80!! And it is fantastic - it makes a 2 lb loaf of bread. The breadmaker I received over 10 years ago was over $300, so they certainly have come down in price. I don't think they are as "popular" as they used to be, but they are certainly popular with the allergic community!

Makes a great Christmas present!

Young Vader, I hope you get a 'Bread Maker' for Christmas. Its priceless.

Wow... Thanks for the suggestion. I always thought that it would be difficult to make bread from scratch...

At least the Barefoot Contessa or Nigella make it look so easy on TV!

Best part is that you put in the ingredients and it does all the work for you. Oh, how I cant live with out my old bread maker.
