Palo Alto, California – Caloricious today is pleased to announce the release of a sophisticated iPhone application for cooking healthful but delicious “real” food that does not contain gluten. A unique iPhone app that provide a delicious gluten-free way to eat well at breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Created by gluten-free expert Jacqueline Mallorca, the recipes provide inspiration right where it’s needed most: first at the supermarket and then in the kitchen. Fresh, clean flavors and great textures shine through these stylish yet easy recipes, all accompanied by great photography. And even the sumptuous desserts offer good nutrition. “We are delighted to announce the availability of high quality recipes on mobiles phones from a seasoned author such as Mallorca”, says founder and CEO, Guna Ramireddy. “This is the first in a series of healthy recipe apps made available on mobile phones”
A long-established food writer with a dozen cookbooks to her credit (Mallorca also created the first Williams-Sonoma catalogs and still writes food copy for the company today, and was James Beard’s West Coast editor for several years), she brings years of experience to creating recipes that outshine the wheat-laden originals. They delight and amaze everyone at the table, gluten-intolerant or not.
Going gluten-free is not a mere flash in the pan. This app is of huge potential interest to the growing ranks of those with celiac disease, an autoimmune disease that affects one in every 133 Americans. (If ignored or unrecognized, this chronic inflammatory disorder of the small intestine, triggered by ingesting the gluten present in wheat, barley or rye, can lead to serious medical conditions such as diabetes and various forms of cancer.) In addition, millions more Americans have a less serious but no less restrictive wheat allergy, or simply want to adopt a healthier lifestyle by avoiding processed foods laden with white flour and sugar.
Caloricious Gluten Free Kitchen iPhone app is currently available on Apple app store and is priced at $4.99. The app will soon be available on Android phones as well. Users can cook with confidence using these 24 recipes, which were specially created for Caloricious by Mallorca, author of THE WHEAT-FREE COOK (selected by Sara Moulton on ‘Good Morning America’ as one of the Top Ten Cookbooks of 2007) and GLUTEN-FREE ITALIAN (ranked among Best Cookbooks of 2009 by The Washington Post). More recipes will be released in future software updates.
