• GFGroup
As of September 2013, the WildFlours GFGroup meetings are currently unavailable.
If you are looking for assistance with gluten and allergy free issues,
please contact us for a one-on-one consultation.
We hope to bring back our monthly meetings in the near future.
For those of you who live in the Chicagoland area, you have easy access to our Gluten Free Group! Our group meets in the Western Suburbs of Chicago, Illinois (known as the Fox Valley) on the third Sunday of each month to support each other with recipes, resources, and advice (see below for our upcoming meeting info). We are a baking/cooking group dedicated to helping people with gluten intolerance and other food allergies. You may call us a “support group”; however, our goal is to do more than just listen to your story… Our goal is to help you live your life gluten and allergy free with confidence! You will find recipes and resources throughout this site that have been a topic of discussion during a group meeting and tested by our families.
New to our group? We encourage you to find a recipe to make at home that follows our theme ahead of time. Feel free to bring what you cook/bake for others to sample and copies of the recipe. Even if the recipe seems to not work out, we encourage you to bring it anyway. It is through trials in the kitchen that we all learn to overcome the challenges of cooking and baking without certain ingredients. We occasionally demonstrate the “how to” of a recipe, but not always. So, please ask questions! We hope you come back to our website often, and maybe even in person if you are able to attend a meeting. All are welcome and there is always something to learn and share!
