ABOUT LEE TOBIN AND GLUTEN-FREE:
Living with a food allergy can sometimes be frustrating and challenging. Lee Tobin, from Whole Foods Market Gluten Free Bakehouse in North Carolina, is one of the many people who live with Celiac Disease and deal with food challenges every day. While a team member in our Chapel Hill (NC) store, Lee Tobin began experimenting with Gluten-free baking on his own time, developing recipes that rivaled conventional goods in flavor and texture! Lee's commitment to creating high quality gluten-free products that also met the Whole Foods Market Quality Standards is the reason that the Whole Foods Market Gluten Free Bakehouse came to be in October of 2004. Drop in between Noon - 2:00 p.m. on September 9th for an informal, free lunchtime demo of some of the fabulous, freshly-baked products from our Gluten Free Bakehouse, with Team Leader Lee Tobin here in person to field questions - and autograph your purchases! Then, come back from 7:00-8:00 p.m. for a comprehensive, guided store tour, highlighting the extensive array of allergy-friendly and special diet products that Whole Foods Market offers - from meals and beverages to body care products and more! Informative and fun, attendees will be invited to sample select products and share useful feedback with other members of the group.
