In This Issue Sweet Spotlight Flavors of the Month Join the Club Ask Allison Love Letters   At Allison’s Gourmet, we bring you a fresh perspective on artisanal baking. Allison approaches each new decadent dessert with the curiosity of a child and the artistry of a master. Why wheat-free baked goods? I have several food sensitivities and wheat and gluten allergies are becoming more and more of a concern for many of us who are health-conscious. For many years I have used wheat-free flours at home and worked on creating items that would ship well and were perfect enough for Allison's Gourmet. Several months ago I renewed my efforts and began working in earnest with various alternative flours in my quest for the ultimate wheat-free brownies and cookies. As always, my guiding principles were that all Allison's Gourmet goodies must be vegan, organic, and have premium taste and texture, while using the least-processed ingredients to achieve these mandatory qualities. I decided upon organic oat flour because it tastes delicious and has a beautiful texture for baked goods. For more about my wheat-free research and why we can't call our brownies gluten-free, check out our blog. Send us your questions.   Every week we get the most amazing and supportive emails from you and it always makes us smile. Thank you for continuing to give us your feedback!   "Allison shows that vegan desserts can be better than good; they can be totally mind-numbingly, drool-inducingly, swear-off-all-other-food-because-it'll-never-be-this-good-again awesome.
