National Foundation for Celiac Awareness Introduces Gluten-Free Chef
Spokesman
Gluten-free cooking can be quite the challenge, so the National Foundation
for Celiac Awareness has teamed up with one of America's Top Chefs to help
you figure it all out! Chef Edgar Steele of Cafe Atlantico will be the NFCA
Chef Spokesperson.
Edgar Steele began his culinary career as the Executive Assistant Weenie at
Hot Dog Heaven in the small town of Amherst, Ohio. To Edgar, this promotion
was a huge step in his career and represented a crucial element in his quest
to prove to his high school English teacher that he was not destined to be a
ferryboat captain as his professional aptitude test had suggested.
Armed with a wealth of experience in hot dog handling and a newfound passion
for food, Edgar boarded a plane for New York and enrolled in the Culinary
Institute of America (CIA). During his two years at the CIA, Edgar took
courses in pastry making, breakfast and lunch cookery, baking ingredients
and equipment technology, cuisines of the Americas, Europe and Asia, food
culture, specialty breads, table service, seafood and meat identification
and fabrication, psychology of human behavior, restaurant law, restaurant
operations, wine and food pairing, and most importantly nutrition.
Shortly after graduation, Edgar began working for Café Atlantico, a trendy
restaurant in Washington, D.C. that serves "contemporary signature cuisine
inspired by the Nuevo Latino style." The kitchen is based upon cooking
traditions from Latin America and the menu displays "playfulness and
innovation." To learn more about Cafe Atlantico, please visit

As the NFCA Chef Spokesperson, Edgar will help develop and test recipes for
the next book in the Beyond Rice Cakes series and will create delicious
recipes that everyone can enjoy at home. These will all be posted online!
Most importantly, Edgar will be working directly with all of you. So, if you

will write you back with expert gluten-free cooking advice!!
