Why it works
- Celiac disease: No wheat in sight: the glossy pan sauce thickens with arrowroot and uses gluten-free stock.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
