Baker on a mission!
Judy Malmon
is the brains behind the brownies at Cooqi. A recovering lawyer, Judy became interested in the gluten-free life when her daughter started having allergic reactions to - guess what? - that's right, goofy gluten and that dastardly dairy!
Since her daughter's diagnosis,
Judy has noticed that she, her partner Perry and her son are also gluten-sensitive. She is intimately familiar with the "maybe I'm allergic to everything but this banana walnut muffin right here" cycle of denial and payback that many go through. Having scoured the aisles of health food shops and tasted almost every gluten-free product under the sun, she became convinced that part of what makes going gluten-free so painful is the lack of an inspiring alternative. She's been baking ever since.
Gluten free delights
may never be exactly the same as their flour-filled friends. But Judy's mission is to mix, stir, fluff, knead and bake her way to something just as tasty, if not more so! We hope you enjoy the results.
No more tears
over the pie crusts of yesteryear. No more yearning for muffins with better fluffin'. At last, gluten-free yummies have more than a mere shelf, aisle, or freezer section. Now there's an entire bakery, with bakers as obsessed with flakiness, crispness, chewiness and tastiness as their conventional baker buddies. Bakers who are on a full-blown baking mission to prove that the gluten-free life is a life full of flavor, surprise, deliciousness and delight!
Can a cookie really be good for you?
Can a Cooqi?
And what does Cooqi mean, anyway?
The name Cooqi is a new twist on an old favorite. It reminds us that what you like about the old can also be improved on in a whole new way. "qi" is a spelling of the word "chi" which in Chinese is our life force. At Cooqi we think we have the best ingredients around for people who take their chi, their health, their taste buds and their tummies seriously!
Whole grains
Baking with whole grain flours delivers the maximum available vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber and slows the uptake of sugar. It's a quantum leap from bleached and processed white flour.
Gluten-free
Even if you're fortunate enough to not have a sensitivity to wheat or gluten, it's smart to vary your flours and grains. This helps prevent sensitivities from developing, and gives you a wider variety of nutrients.
