Been a long time since we did a collab with a local business. I’ve been working on this bread for a couple months for a local sandwich place that opened 2 weeks ago in the Glebe. Pen is for size. Ottawa Shawarma is where I got the chicken from for my supper last night. I made this sandwich at home.

These massive delicious custom buns are at; Goldies Outpost in the Glebe and they should be on your restaurant list. One of their staff is celiac. The momentum for demand is building quickly for our buns there. Pretty excited for visionary Jimmy Bick and his team. They sold out their shop again yesterday! Could not be happier for them.

Tourtiere…..The finished product ready for your supper table. Dairy free, gluten-free, dedicated to celiacs. We take the time and effort to bake your pie in house in our commercial ovens (did I mention how wonderful commercial ovens are? Oh my!!). Why do we do that? The pie is baked correctly every time. Tested for the correct temperature. Cooled properly for correct food handling standards and to preserve flavour and freshness. Once cool 😎 hand packaged and frozen. What did our test kitchen prove over the last 21 years? Prebaking the pie for you is hands and above in flavour, texture and safety. No two ovens are the same. In fact we have three ovens at the shop. The tourtiere is cooked in our five rack capacity gas oven for best results. What are best results? No undercooked bottom crust for one. Consistent browning. Flakey slow rise for the crust. Sink your teeth into the pleasure of this homemade meal and share with up to three friends for just $31. Everything we make is from time honoured traditional baking methods. Your life as a celiac could be normal again everyday if you shopped here.

Simmering our tender halal beef (the most flavourful meat). We use only the best ingredients, simmered with ground pork, onions and spices. We love the savoury warmth of deep rich spices. No cinnamon. No nutmeg. No allspice. Those spices we reserve for carrot cake and pumpkin pie. We want savoury. Something your palette isn’t going to question. Lots of pepper, garlic, onions. Simmering for a couple hours tenderly with love. We then add the mashed potatoes to the mixture for a smooth satisfying finish. This batch will make about 29 pies. I can not begin to tell you how many tourtiere pies we sell all year round. A family tradition for many generations. Made right here in the shop from time tested recipes 💯 gluten free from our 1500sf dedicated gluten free commercial kitchen and store front. Made by hand from quality ingredients for the past 15 years. Only gluten free. only forever. Always.

Let’s build our Tourtiere together. Goodness from our recipe originally from the 1800’s. Yes. That long ago. A Canadian classic done right. I’m excited new potatoes are out for the season. Fresh creamy flavour. These gorgeous spuds are just pure whipped potato. Nothing else. Peeled and whipped for smooth tender deliciousness. They take about 45 minutes to cook properly to be the creamy add it for our tender beef and Pork meat base. Time honoured tradition. That’s what we are about at The Joy of Gluten Free.

Pies ooze when baked. Why? Because there is a ton of fruit in them. One thing we don’t do is load everything with sugar. If you avoid sugar we do make three varieties of dessert pies without sugar. This beautiful strawberry peach pie is sweetened with just hint of natural honey to brighten the flavour of the peaches. We never use stevia or any other fake sugars. Just pure fruit and a hint of honey. When you use good ingredients that carries the flavour. Always 💯 safe for celiacs when you shop with us. We are a 1500 sf commercial kitchen with store front. A considerable investment goes into creating safe commercial kitchens and keeping them running. Rents alone are a small fortune monthly. Over $90,000 alone in just insurance over the years so far. Serving the celiac community for over 20’years and 15 from our storefront. Our test kitchen has been active for over 23 years. Always improving and innovating. Recipes for products you can not find anywhere else. Community support and your smiling faces is what keeps us going

Love this flavour of pie. It’s my Mom’s recipe I converted over 20’years ago to gluten free. Some things you just can’t leave behind. Do you feel like there’s so many things you can no longer find as a celiac? Chances are you will find it at our shop. So many things we make that no one else does; not even gluten bakeries. Did you know that over the years we have a large following of non-celiacs who shop with us? It’s true. Non-celiacs also buy celiac food from our celiac shop. And have for fifteen years. Thanks to you guys for sharing with friends and family. People stop in all the time to pick things up for themselves.
