About


I'm an off-premise caterer. What moves me to share this recipe with you is that I know such a countless number of people who aren't able to tolerate regular flour, some of who are clients, that it's amazing. The "new" standard question that any caterer (or event planner) should ask a client these days is... Are you allergic to any foods? If so, which ones? And are any of your guests food allergy intolerant? It's just a shame that food allergies have become the new epidemic. But even so, that doesn't mean that those who are suffering can't have delicious banana nut bread too. Enjoy!
