Gluten-free expert, author, coach and advocate Jules Shepard hosts a weekly show offering news, interviews with intriguing guests, gluten-free baking tips and otherwise lively conversation.
One of Jules' favorite gluten-free frozen pizzas (she talked about it on last week's show covering GF favorites from Natural Products Expo West) is Bella Monica Flatbreads. The friends behind this authentic Italian pizza company are Trevor Chambers and chef Corbett Monica. They join Jules this week to talk about the whys & hows of creating a gluten-free frozen pizza line, and about the unique qualities that make their pizzas something special.
Chef Monica's Raleigh, NC restaurant, Bella Monica Cucina & Vino, launched a gluten-free menu in 2009 featuring gluten-free bread, pizzas, chicken parmesan and stuffed shells.  That same year, Bella Monica FlatBread Company launched a line of gluten-free frozen pizzas and today, Bella Monica pizzas is sold in over 1000 stores across the country like Kroger, Harris Teeter and Earth Fare.
