Why Is Gluten-Free Catering in NYC an Important Option?

When you’re planning an event, gluten-free catering in NYC is an important option because there’s a rising demand for food choices that all your guests can enjoy without health concerns. Some people have Celiac disease, an autoimmune response to gluten that causes inflammation and damage to the digestive tract. Other people choose a gluten-free lifestyle because they have gluten sensitivity, which means they may feel nauseous, bloated or experience headaches after eating foods that contain gluten.

Choosing gluten-free catering in NYC for your event ensures that everyone can attend without worrying about the food making them uncomfortable or sick. At White Noise Coffee in Brooklyn and Manhattan, we work with most dietary preferences, while offering many tasty vegan and gluten-free options.

What Events Benefit from Gluten-Free Catering in NYC?

Just about any type of gathering benefits from gluten-free catering in NYC when all the dishes are equally delicious. The population of New York City is diverse and always growing, which means there are more and more people who avoid gluten out of necessity or as a personal choice. And as always, they expect you to deliver your best. Popular events that benefit from gluten-free catering include:

• Weddings and receptions
• Engagement parties
• Birthdays
• Graduations
• Reunions and family gatherings

What Foods Do Gluten-Free Caterers Avoid?

To represent ourselves as gluten-free chefs, we ensure all our dishes are completely gluten-free and haven’t been prepared near gluten that could result in contamination. Gluten is a protein found in barley, wheat, rye and other grains that helps dough rise and keep its shape. Foods we avoid in a gluten-free menu include:

• Cereals
• Cookies
• Crackers
• Cakes
• Pasta

While many of those food items are now available in gluten-free versions, we understand that this isn’t a passing fad, but a necessity for some people. Besides bread and pasta made from grains, gluten is sometimes contained in some foods you may not expect, such as:

• Dairy products like ice cream or yogurt with fillings or additives
• Soup mixes and canned soups
• Beer, whiskey and gin
• Foods that contain modified food starch, food stabilizers and preservatives

Since many different foods can contain hidden gluten, it’s important to have food prepared by a caterer who’s educated and experienced in preparing gluten-free foods. At White Noise Coffee, our staff is thoroughly trained in preparing gluten-free foods, and we have appetizing options for gluten-free breakfasts, gluten-free lunches and vegan and gluten-free desserts.

What Foods Are Gluten-Free?

The good news is that even though some foods are off-limits to people with Celiac disease or gluten intolerance, many delicious foods are naturally gluten free. No-brainer foods that work well with gluten-free catering in NYC include:

• Vegetable dishes. Grilled vegetable skewers, salads and roasted vegetables are naturally gluten-free when paired with gluten-free dressing.
• Proteins. Grilled protein such as poultry, fish, beef or tofu are tasty choices when seasoned with gluten-free herbs and spices.
• Grain substitutes.Quinoa, polenta and rice are good substitutes for grains that contain gluten.
• Gluten-free pasta and bread.There are options for quality pasta and bread that are made from corn, rice or chickpea flour.
• Legume–based choices.Delicious stews and soups can be made from naturally gluten-free legumes such as chickpeas, lentils and beans.

Having a gluten-free event doesn’t mean you can’t serve your cake and eat it too. Cakes and cookies can be made without flour or using a gluten-free flour blend. Other tasty gluten-free dessert options are fruit-based desserts such as chocolate-covered strawberries, fruit parfaits and baked apples.

Top off your event with naturally gluten-free coffee or tea. At White Noise Coffee, we source the finest coffee beans from around the world and roast them here in NYC.
