Hello Chef Bob,

Just want you to know, your GF "Old Fashion Apple Crisp" is wonderful! Even,my Christmas guest that are not on a GF diet were asking about it. They wanted to know if they could find it at home in Frederick, MD. One of the best GF desserts yet. Congratulations on a great product.

Hello Chef Bob,

Saw your white layer cake at Wegman's Hunt Valley, MD last week right before Thanksgiving. Wasn't sure if we should get it; I have been adapting many recipes since our family has become gluten free and I am a pretty good baker. Most of the commercial gluten free cakes are heavy and grainy and not tasty at all. Wegman's had a dollar off special, and we bought it, and it was amazing! Just wanted you to know...I hope they will carry your other products that I saw on your site -- pizza crust, onion rolls....Your buttercream icing was delicious ,and the cake was delicious with a lovely texture.

I will buy your stuff anytime! Dollar discount was a great intro, and your product is excellent.

Yours sincerely,
Deborah Servetnick

Dear Gillian's Foods,
Your frozen pie crust are the best tasting ever!!!!!
I also have been diagnosed with celiac in 1995.

Baking up a quiche with mushroom soup and eggs, tonight thanks to you.
Which I could never do before w/o having my pie crust falling apart.
Thank you..

Are you thinking of making frozen bread loaves??
I really miss having my fresh bread with egg, cheese and spices.... Yum..

Thanks for making a superior pie crust..

All I have to say is wow! Delish!

My husband just bought your blueberry and apple pies at Wegmans in Bridgewater, NJ. I think they just started carrying it because i haven't seen any products before.

Thank you for making such incredible pies. I was diagnosed 10 plus years ago with Celiac Disease, and have not come across such delicious pies.

Keep up the good work, and thank you again.

Chef Bob:

I just found out last week that I need a gluton free diet. I love to cook and to be creative so I was ready for the challenge. I bought your frozen dough at Whole Foods.

Tonight I made a typical gluten pizza for my family and then I made a pizza made with your gluten free dough for myself assuming my family wouldn't like it.

My husband sampled my pizza made with your dough and loved it. As a matter of fact, I don't think I'll need to make two separate pizzas anymore. You won everyone over. My husband is a very selective eater, so that is saying something.

Then I go to your website and see all your other products. You can count on our business. Can't wait to make our first order.

I'm sharing your website and my review with everyone on my facebook page.

Hello!

I just wanted to tell you how much I love your frozen pizza dough.  I make pizza with it every week, and every week it is just as delicious as the last:)  I have had GF pizza's at many different restaurants, but nothing compares to Gillian's pizza dough.  Even my husband who is not GF loves it.  Thank you so much for all of your hard work!

Jasmine

Hi,

I just wanted to say how much my Celiac son loves your products. He especially likes the French Rolls; we have yet to find a bread that tastes any better!! Thank you so much.

Thanks, Randi

Hi There! 

Just wanted to let you know how much we LOVE the Gluten free italian breadcrumbs!  Even though only one of my family members needs to be gluten free, we can all enjoy what I make with these breadcrumbs and no-one knows the difference!  Its tough to please an italian family, but your bread crumbs have done the trick! 
Thank you!!!! Sarah

Dear Chef Bob,

I was diagnosed with celiac disease about five years ago. I have tried different breads and they all taste like pasted cardboard until i tried your french rolls. They are just delicious. I used them as a hamburger bun and i was it to my satisfaction. I found them at a Blooms grocery store in Virginia. I plan to buy some more of your products in the near future. I'm waiting for your apple pie that's gonna come out in Sept. Bless you for making these rolls. Thankyou Marcy

Dear Chef Bob,

I have been trying to eat gluten free for about 5 years now.  The first gluten free bread that i found frozen, but readily available, had to be toasted.  It tasted like cardboard and for a small fee, my gums were shredded.  I also  found myseIf becoming adept with a hammer and chisel.  Since then i have found better bread and some really good gluten free recipes; but I have arthritis and don't often feel like baking anymore.   The ingredients are expensive.   It's like being robbed every time i go for groceries.  But when I bought your gluten free french rolls, they were soooo good.  At least while I'm going bankrupt on a gluten free diet, I can enjoy my dinner now.  I was extremely happy to see that your mix is very reasonably priced, something that I never find.   I hope other people find their way to your bread and that you will forever ever raise the bar for the gluten free standard.  My dream is that some day, bread of this calibre will be found on the shelf of every local publix or kroger.  I know that I will recommend you to everyone out there.  Thank God for the people like you who are able to bring us back to the table without apprehension and fear!  You have given hope for the future...                                                             -food lover in distress

To whom it may concern,

I was recently diagnosed with both lactose and Gluten allergies.

Since then I have been trying out MANY different bread products and found NONE to be anything more than "flavored" cardboard!

Imaging my surprise and delight when I tried out your Cinnamon Raisin and regular diner rolls.

First off, neither roll disintegrates upon handling or buttering. They are not only...just edible, but they are actually DELICIOUS.

Thanks for the effort to make a great product.
I look forward to trying out more of your product line.

Bert

Dear Chef Bob,

Thank you, thank you.  After 6 or 7 years of making GF foods for my husband, he was finally able to enjoy meatloaf.  He has been eating your French Rolls for several years, but it was only recently that I thought to try them in meatloaf and meatballs.  FANTASTIC!  I just defrosted them, broke them into chunks and soaked them a bit, just the same as I used to do with bread.  Meatballs on Superbowl Sunday too.  The whole family is happy to eat these comfort foods again.  We are grateful for your delicious products. 

Robin Lyon

Dear Chef Bob,

I want to drop you a line and thank you for your great products. I have MS and the latest theory (as stated in "The MS Recovery Diet" is that MS is caused by allergies from wheat/gluten and dairy. Since the doctors can't find any cause, like a virus, and many people have recovered after eliminating wheat and gluten from their diets, it makes sense.

The problem for me was to find bread, which I love, to use on veggie burgers and sandwiches that doesn't fall apart like most gluten free products. But when I found your French rolls, I was surprised that tasted great and didn't crumble and they are big enough for burgers and such.

Sincerely, Terry Scott

Hello,

I am a recently diagnosed Celiac patient and as I started the  journey last week in Wegmans and Whole Foods organic section,  to  better health for the first time in many years I soon learned that the  Gluten Free trip was going to be quite an adventure. I wanted to write  you and personally praise your company for the amazing products you carry for patients who have limited diets. I reluctantly purchased a  package of your Cinnamon Raisin Frozen (bagels) and thought for sure  that this too would be another tasteless cardboard textured bread   that would get tossed into the trash. When I popped one in the toaster  and  then had the pleasure of enjoying it with a cuppa green tea I was  so amazed at how delicious it was. My husband could smell it from  across the house and asked if I would make him one too. When I told  him it was my gluten free buns he grimaced but said make me one anyway  and I'll try it. I can't keep him out of my bag now and being on a  budget with the  Army I find I now have to hide my Gillians from him  because a GF diet is a bit more costly then most.     

Thank-you again for considering our taste buds and I will be a  committed customer for the rest of my life as I can't make the Celiacs  go away but I know I will enjoy your great food.      Kind Regards,      Tracey

Dear Chef Bob,

OMG! Just tried the frozen pizza dough.  I'm going back to the store and get more tomorrow.  This was the most delicious gluten free pizza  I've EVER eaten.  I divided the dough in half and made one small pizza.  Couldn't believe I ate the whole pizza! Thank you Chef Bob!  Keep up the good work.  Looking forward to using more of your products. Patsy

I am newly diagnosed celiac and life has been overwhelming for the past month.  I have tried several items made gluten free and been very disappointed.  I tried you French rolls tonight and was amazed at how much better they are than anything else out there that I have tried.  I can’t wait to try your other items.  I want to order the sandwich loaf, the Italian bread crumbs and the pizza crust.

Thank you so much for making a quality product!!!!  I can’t wait to try more of your line! Thankyou again Sue

Chef Bob,

I just got my order and I HAD to write and thank you! As soon as I opened the package I smelled the cinnamon rainsin rolls and could not resist. I heated one up and it was fantastic! It actually tasted and felt like real bread!!! I can't wait to try my cookies and pizza crust.  I've only had celiac for a few months but have really been missing bread and this was just perfect, I can't wait to tell all my gluten free friends abour your products.

Thank you again, Ofeer Kearns

Dear Gillians Foods,

I just want to tell you I've just discovered your French Rolls and found them to be WONDERFUL! Bought the store out! Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful product. Our daughter can not have wheat nor dairy and these are perfect!!!! I love the recipes and was wondering what I could substitute the dry milk with for your bread recipe? Thanks again for such a wonderful product. Patsy

Dear Gillians Foods,

WOW!!!!  Thanks alot guys!!!  I just ate a pizza that I made from your frozen gluten free pizza crust mix.  And it was Unbelievable!  That is the best GF I've ever had hands down.  I've tried all the brands from Kinnikinnik to Amy's and some pizza's from the local pizzarias that sell gluten free and I gotta say - your's wins!  I just had to email you and let you know.  I haven't  emailed a gluten free company yet to comment on their products because alot of what I've tried is just ' good enough' considering it's GF but I really have to say that your crust is actually great tasting but also the texture is what really stands out.  It actually has a chewy texture and mouthfeel and best of all, it doesn't disintegrate when I pick it up like most do.  I'm now committed to trying as much as I can from you guys.  If you can make a pizza crust like that I can't wait to try your other products.

Thanks so much

Dear Gillians Foods,

Thank you for sharing your wonderful bread with the rest of the planet! I first encountered Gillian's at our local Legal Seafood, and felt like I was enjoying 'bread' for the first time in the 2 years since my diagnosis with celiac. The chef came out and proudly explained the origin of the rolls and how to find some for home, here on your website. I cannot explain how much it means to me to have the smell, texture, and flavor of true bread again. I tried so many other GF breads, and really thought I would have to live without the satisfaction a perfect piece of warm, buttered, yeast bread can offer.

Please keep your ovens going, and I will spread the word to all my GF friends. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Melissa

Hi Bob,

I wonder if you remember me. It was in the 90's, after Gillian was diagnosed with CD, and my mother and I drove from Malden to your home, where you baked GF goodies in your own home for your daughter. At that time, I was a teacher in NY and Gillian was a child; I loaded up on your fresh-out-of the oven goodies before I left the Boston area to drive home.

Having been diagnosed as a celiac back in the mid-70's, I was hungry for decent bread products. Yours were so great! Now, every time I give a free workshop at the local health food stores, I tell them my personal story of how I met you and your family. Then I point out your products in the store and tell the attendees that your foods are my favorite.

I would like to honor you and your family for the incredible time and energy it has taken for you to get to be a national distributor, just like the "big boys." I have just discovered your frozen deep-dish pizza crust and I made a pizza as soon as I got home. WOW! The crust has a great texture, taste, and it can hold up to the sauce without getting soggy. I could even slice it in half to make a pita-type sandwich. Thanks for expanding your product line and continuing your tradition of excellence at a reasonable price.

Dear Gillians Foods,

WOW!!!  YUMMY!!!  Oh my gosh, I cannot believe I have found a bread that is wheat free and is sooooo delicious!!!  I recently found out I am "wheat intolerant."  I have Crohn's disease and have never been told that wheat may at least be partially responsible for the pain I have.  Recently, I switched doctors and she suggested I try a wheat-free and milk-free diet.  In the few weeks that I have done so, I am feeling much better.  However, my favorite food in the past has been white bread and pizza (white flour pizza).  Needless to say, this has been the hardest for me to give up. 

I purchased Gillian's Foods French rolls at my local Food Lion (which is a surprise in and of itself that they carry so many gluten-free and organic products :).  I tried them last night and so did my husband who is not on a wheat-free diet.  They were the best!!  I just cannot say enough about how good they were.  I cannot wait to try some of your other products!!

All I can say is thank you so much for putting the time and effort into make a quality bread product that is truly gluten-free.  You can be sure I will tell my doctor about your products so that she can recommend them to her other patients.

Have a great day!! 

Kim Munden

Hello,

I am emailing you as I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease last year and have had such a hard time finding bread products I could eat. I saw your brand of french rolls at Central Market and decided to try them. Oh my goodness!!!!

They are my "must have" with every meal I make. I eat them for breakfast, toasted and with jelly and nuts. They make excellent sandwiches and wonderful brushetta. I cannot thank you enough for making such a delicious product that I can eat and not feel sick afterwards. I wanted to take the time to thank you!

Carrie Houston Walker

Chef Bob,

Whoever came up with the recipe and the way of baking those rolls was  a genius. (You're motto is apt as well.) The problem is that now, there is no going back to the other stuff  because it is so crud awful in comparison. Those French rolls are scrump-deli-icious:  30 seconds in the  microwave out of the freezer and they are perfect -- the crust on heel  (bottom of roll) as an edge to it -- it's firm not soggy. And the  consistency of the rest of the roll is as if it's oven-fresh. You've spoiled me for life. With Celiac, it is so difficult to get decent -- if any -- bread  products.  Unless a bakery is a dedicated as a gluten-free facility,  then cross-contamination is not a mere risk, it is guaranteed to occur. So, thank you a thousand times over for creating something so good to eat. Those raisin cinnamon rolls make the best breakfast:  14 grams of  yummy protein!

Your rolls -- cinnamon raisin and French -- are the best bread  products I have ever eaten. KUDOS. Hat's off. Truly, Thank you. Pamela

Hi,
I am a Celiac suffer for over 8 years diagnosed and almost 20 years before diagnosis. Even though there have been products within the last few years that have been palatable, breads and rolls really have not been anything to write home about. I am now writing to you!! I have just discovered your French Rolls. They are wonderful and taste "regular". The consistency is good to to spread things on. Yeah!! Unfortunately my store only carried that one product of yours. I live in Northwest Broward County in Florida. The shipping and handling of $8.00 is steep for me, but I will be looking for other stores in my area for more products!!!

Thank you!! Michele

Chef Bob,

I am honored that you would post my letter. I have circulated your website to my doctors and a few G.I. friends. There seems to be a growing population of gluten intolerant non-celiac sufferers, in fact, my doctor's wife has been tested (like my self) for celiac and tested negative, but she can not in any circumstances consume anything containing wheat.

Thanks again Bob, for your 15 years of hard work that I will surely enjoy every day!

Tarzan like Gillian's!!!

Chef Bob:

I wanted to write and say thank you. I just tried your frozen pizza dough today and made a calzone. My daughter and granchildren have not had a calzone in three years. The one I made from your pizza dough was excellent and tasted just like the ones we have all had over the years. My grandson felt guilty like he was eating a gluten product because it tasted so so good. Again thank you.

Chef Bob:

I am on a gluten free, dairy free detox diet and the choices of bread were pretty dismal. Most were akin to sawdust until I found your French rolls. I love bread, and was wondering how I was going to stick to my maintenance diet without my beloved bread, but your French rolls are divine. I actually prefer them to most of the bread I used to eat. I will be stocking up on your other products as well.

Thank you for your dedication to finding a product that answers the needs of a number of people who are not able to eat wheat. I will be a customer for life and promote your products on my dinner table.

Sincerely, Carol Foster, California

Hi Ho, Chef Bob

You have my eternal gratitude! Indeed, I may just have fallen in love with you.  I could wait no longer and when the Gluten-Free Mall e-m came in I just went ahead & ordered ur cinnamon rolls and French rolls. Today I had a burger on a French roll.  I cannot recall how long it has been since I've had a burger on a bun--  one of my most favorite foods.  It was a buffalo burger-- no matter there, -- grilled, and with all my fav fixings.  TY TY TY

Hello,

After eating dinner last night, I decided I had to send you an e-mail thanking you for a great product. I used Gillian's GF pizza dough to make a delectable calzone. I used to eat calzones all the time before I went GF. Until I tried the Gillan's GF pizza dough, I wasn't able to replicate any of my old recipes. Last night's dinner, though, was excellent! Thank you, thank you, and thank you again.

HI!

Just to let you know that my friend got her order today.... She was surprised & thrilled! (I didn't tell her it was coming) It's been so long since she's eaten any other kind of bread product other than rice flour breads.  She tried the Raisin bread and ate almost half of it already!  I can't thank you enough for your website.  Especially the fact that your breads are 'MADE" and not just a 'box' item to be baked when they arrive.  This makes it so much easier for her.  She has Celiac in addition to arthritis. Thank you so much & God Bless You! WE couldn't be happier!  Talk to you in the future.

Chef Bob,

I was visiting Utah in April and was getting a bit desperate about my Gluten-free diet when I was told about some shops that specialized in things like gluten free foods.  Amongst other items I found a pack of Gillian's frozen white bread rolls.  I just wanted to tell you how impressed I was by them.  They are easily the best gluten-free bread rolls I have experienced, far superior to anything I've found in England so far - and it made my visit to America much easier as I was able to take food out with me.  Thank you so much.

I was interested in your story.  Having been diagnosed over 36 years ago and having an older sister with the same condition who was a 'guineapig' for the newly introduced gluten free diet over 50 years ago, I know only too well how unpalatable some g.f. foods have been.  Your Gillian's condition has obviously been a silver lining for many others in America with the condition.  Keep up the good work!

Chef Bob,

I discovered I have celiac disease approx. 3 yrs. ago.  This was both a blessing and a curse.  A blessing, because I finally knew what was wrong with me and began feeling better almost immediately upon starting a gf diet.  A curse, because it seems everything under the sun contains gluten.  Anyway, I have been on "the quest" for really good gf products from day one.  I started out making many of the staples and have had success with most.  There remained a few that I have yet been able to make well or find any ready made items that taste good.  Loaf breads and pizza crust.  I discovered your French rolls at my local health food store.  They are fantastic!! The first time I ate one I couldn't believe it!  I even use(d)  them to make mini pizzas.  Not anymore.  Last week I saw your frozen pizza crust dough and decided to give it a try.  Oh, my!  I haven't had a good pizza in three years.  (I wanted to cry...I love pizza and have missed it.)  I usually eat 2 or 3 slices.  I took the first bite and was in pizza eating heaven.  I really had to restrain myself not to eat the entire thing.  I froze the additional slices and will enjoy 4 meals of delicious pizza from just one dough ball.

I look forward to trying more (all) of your wonderful products.  I will be letting the manager of the health food store that they need to promote and stock more of your foods.

Sincerely, Lisa

Hello,
I had to write to let you know how much I enjoyed your pizza dough several nights ago.  I have a wheat allergy and a boyfriend who pretty much subsists on wheat items.  We've tried making pizza with other gluten-free dough, and while it was still a treat for me, it was nothing to write home about. However, last weekend, after almost two months of recuperation from very painful hand surgery (which, for a calligrapher, is terrifying), I was in a deep funk and in need of a pick-me-up.  So we thawed your dough on Saturday night, and on Sunday evening I one-handedly (with a little help) made our own pizza.  I unashamedly ate my entire half with such gusto that Paul couldn't stop laughing with delight at seeing me happy for the first time in a long time.  Just being able to share a pizza with him while watching a movie made me feel almost normal.  Thank you so much for a wonderful evening; we're going to have a regular pizza night from now on, and I look forward to trying your other products as well.

Sincerely, Jan Garver

First,
let me tell you that I have had a life threatening allergy to wheat and rye for approx. 6 years. I am 37 years old and this obviously came as quite a surprise to me and my family. I live with a wife and one son who are both fatally allergic to nuts, so I was already familiar with the trials and tribulations of dealing with allergies and over the counter foods. I am visiting relatives in New York for the holidays and had the sheer joy and pleasure of experiencing your dough balls. They were unreal. Not only were they the closest thing to real bread that I have eaten since my allergy was discovered, but they were better. My mother in law makes a thing called ham bread. She rolls ham and cheese in the dough and bakes it. How wonderful to have it again. I am very excited to try your other breads. I have not found one yet that doesn't fall apart as you smear on the mayo or just try and cut it in half. Once again, thanks again for all your doing to give celiacs and wheat intolerant people like me a chance to enjoy good bread alternatives.

Jon

Dear Chef Bob,
I just wanted to thank you for making the Cranberry Walnut Bread. It is absolutely Awesome! It is the best I have ever tasted. Today I placed an order for 8 loaves of the bread. It is totally out of this world! Your breads, rolls and pies are Wonderful! I have a few family members with Celiac Disease that also purchase your products, but they haven't tried the Cranberry Walnut Bread as of yet. I am sending them the breads as Christmas Gifts, they are so very tasty!! I have just been diagnosed with Celiac Disease a little over a month ago, and was having trouble finding anything in the stores that taste good. I thank God every night that your making this wonderful food for all of us celiac sufferers. I have had the breads in the health food stores and none even hold a candle to your breads. Thank you for being here for all of us!

Happy Holidays! Kindly, Sandra

I received my first order yesterday, bread crumbs, onion rolls and french rolls. The best GF bread I have had. Nothing even comes close to your product and I think I have tried most of them. I'm sorry it took me three years to find your company.

I ordered some of your dinner rolls a couple of weeks ago and wanted to email you and tell you they are FABULOUS. I have had Celiac Disease for two years and not been able to have a sandwich because the bread falls apart. Your rolls are wonderful if you just microwave a little. Thank you for making a great dinner roll! I will certainly be ordering again.

MB, Pardeeville, WI

My daughter is 19 and a Freshman in college. Jacquelyn has celiac disease and the only other place we found great wheat-free bread is in Bordeaux, France. We lived there for about 2 1/2 years and we were disappointed we couldn't find really good wheat free bread, buns and cakes. You're doing a great job.

Thank you. Sincerely, Janice Gourlay

Dear Bob,
My husband has celiac disease and really missed the texture and taste of a good roll. When I came upon your site I was thrilled to see that you offered a nice variety. We placed an order for the poppy rolls, raisin loaf bread and bread crumbs. I am writing you to tell you that he totally enjoyed every item that he ordered. The rolls did not fall apart and the bread crumb has a crisp coating when he used them on chicken cutlets. He is a satisfied customer and will be ordering from your site indefinetely.

Thanks, Kathy (from Staten Island, NY)

Dear Chef Bob,
I cannot begin to thank you! I have not had a decent piece of pizza since I was diagnosed with Celiac 4 years ago UNTIL tonight. I almost ate the entire pizza, who knows if I go by the kitchen again I may polish it off. I must say that you aided in the destruction of a week of weight watchers but what fun it was! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I am going back to the store tomorrow to tell them how good it is as I clear out their stock. I also called my Dad and told him his days of eating cardboard pizza are over too. I honestly do not know who you made happier, myself and my Dad who suffer from Celiac or my husband and Mom who rarely get to eat pizza anymore because they live with celiac sufferers. My compliments to the Chef!!!!

Sincerely, Amy Fulton

At last, a Gluten Free apple pie, and it's delicious. The apples aren't too sweet. The crumb topping is crunchy. And it came by UPS, ready to pop in the oven. Thanks Gillian's. Oh, and the "everything" dinner rolls are a big hit here too! You have a new fan.

Kathy Hawk, High Falls, NY

After 3 years trying different breads and not finding any thing close to real bread. I happened to see your French bread at a store that has gluten free products. Well, the rest is history. Your bread is delicious and is so close to actual bread made with regular flour. I no longer feel deprived of not being able to eat bread. Also have bought the Cinnamon Raisin bread and it is also delicious. Thank you for providing this product.

Sincerely, Richard
