Allergy Hot Line: The Food Allergy Network has developed the Food
Allergy Awareness Campaign. Through the support of the National
Restaurant Association, the program teaches restaurant workers to help
patrons avoid problem foods and what to do if reactions occur. The
network publishes a bimonthly newsletter, a cookbook, and guides to
living with food allergies. For more information, call (703) 691-3179

Baking Tip: You can make buttermilk by adding one tablespoon of lemon
juice to one cup of milk and then letting the mixture sit for about
five minutes.<1>
Ready-to-eat GF Vegetarian Indian Meals: The Tamarind Tree makes and
distributes these. The package states the meals are "wheat- and
gluten-free and contain no preservatives, chemicals, sugar, or MSG."
According to Lisa Haynes, they are quite tasty, though somewhat high
in sodium. For more information, write to The Tamarind Tree Ltd., PO
Box 845, Mahwah, NJ 07430.<2>
