As you walk into the GF Patisserie in Cochrane, Alberta the first thing that assails your senses is the amazing smell of freshly baked bread. With (non-coeliac) bakery needs catered to by the supermarkets and far too few real bakers, the homely and very appetising smell of baking is a lost experience for most of us, and especially for those who can’t eat normal bread.

So what makes the GF Patisserie special? Well it must be the fact that it’s owned and run by a coeliac who is passionate about baking good, healthy, preservative free foods.
