Learn to Make Gluten-Free Pies at the Gluten & Allergen-Free Expo – February 9-10, 2013

Some people love to bake pies. For them, it is stress-relieving therapy. Others bake pies to process grief such as Beth Howard—author of the memoir Making Piece—after the untimely death of her young husband. Still others bake for the sheer joy of creating a culinary masterpiece and they are darn good at it!
