My Cookbook guest this week is Rachel Conners with her new book Bakerita
Amazingly delicious and beautiful gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar–free desserts from the popular Bakerita blog
Rachel Conners began her blog as a hobby to share baking recipes with friends, but when she started to focus more on gluten-free, paleo, and vegan recipes to make things she could share with her sister, who was following a strict diet due to health concerns, Rachel quickly realized she was onto something. Bakerita surged in popularity as fans flocked to it for delicious and beautifully photographed recipes. Interest in gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar–free foods continues to grow in popularity, yet there are remarkably few books available focused just on desserts, and even fewer with recipes that even beginner bakers can make at home. That’s where Bakerita comes in, offering recipes for everything from breakfast treats like Lavender-Lemon Raspberry Scones, pies and tarts such as Chocolate Mousse Pie, cakes including Mocha Chip Cheesecake, and updated all-time favorites like chocolate chip cookies, all made without any hard-to-find ingredients.

Later in the program Doug and Ashli Cohen, owners of Salt Wine Company. They have combined, over 50 years in the wine business. They specialize in wines from Oregon Washington and California made from biodynamically grown grapes from small estate vineyards that they blend.
They have partnered with NW Wine Company of Oregon to make these two labels. NW Wine Company is as one of the Willamette Valley’s first custom crush facilities. Learn more here! The custom-crush facility started out as an incubator for boutique, small production wineries. Doug is the National Sales Manager at NW Wine Company.
I’ll be featuring these four wines produced by Doug and Ashli Saturday at 6:00 p.m. on Face Book Live. You can purchase these wines at Jacob East or West, (apparently the West store does not have any Greetings product, just Second Growth) tell them it’s for Good Life Guy’s Virtual Wine Tasting and save 15%
These special wines may be hard to find outside of Wichita, sorry.
