The Edeka display was a huge success and there wasn’t a drop left by 1:45 pm that afternoon. Check out what was up for tasting!
Cassava Blueberry Pancakes
Chopped Asian Salad
Homemade Grain-Free Cassava Century Bread topped off with your choice of two different flavors of Foolproof Mayonnaise: Chipotle and Wasabi Cilantro Lime!
It was wonderful to meet so many people and to listen to their stories.
It was also interesting to note how many people here in Germany are living gluten-free lives or have friends or family traveling this healthy path.
Here are a few of the products that the Edeka in Weilderback carries along with their English translations!
Flax seeds and flax flour.
Tapioca flour, and cassava flour.
Almond flour (2 kinds) and coconut flour. They also have Arrowroot flour which is called Pfeilwurzel Mehl.
Natural maple syrup, coconut oil and coconut sugar.
You can also find a wide selection of ready-made goods in their freezer department and their gluten, vegan, and paleo section. They carry psyllium, agar agar, and a super selection of gluten-free goods made with Xylitol, like dark chocolate for cooking and eating!
So far, everything I’ve needed to create the recipes on my site can be found at Edeka Weilerbach. Anastasia Kromer-Haag and her husband are very responsive to customer requests and aim to please, so make sure to speak with her if it’s not on the shelf. Anastasia is so accommodating and personally understands our purchasing challenges!
I am so thrilled that the Edeka in Weilerbach has committed to, and made HUGE steps toward, meeting the community needs by providing cooking supplies and goods for those who follow a gluten, soy, and dairy-free lifestyle. Anastasia is in the process of gathering names for a future Cook’n Coach class at her store. Please send them a note on their Facebook page and let them know you would be interested in attending!
Kudos to you, Edeka, in Weilerbach, my new grocery store!
I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
