Gluten-Free Brioche? Magnifique!
New York's Noglu Bakery combines a classic French bakery with American sensibilities
What do you do when you’re French, your world revolves around bread and then you get diagnosed with celiac disease? For Frédérique Jules the answer was to open her own 100 percent gluten-free bakery, Noglu in New York City. Jules hired a Japanese chef, Mitsuru Yatanase, and an American pastry chef, Jennifer Hearting-Lepoutre, to bring their expertise together and to experiment until they perfected an all gluten-free menu. After successfully wowing Parisians, Jules caught the eye of consummate New Yorker, Eli Zabar of Eli’s Market, and the two teamed up to bring gluten-free heaven to New Yorkers. Since the doors of the swanky Upper East Side location opened, the place has been packed. Noglu’s interior. The proof is in the bread; it’s made from a top-secret custom mix of rice flour and potato starch. It’s a customer favorite and Jules’ personal pick as well. She explains, “It was so hard to transition to eating gluten-free and without bread, and once we made this recipe for a soft and flavorful bread I was able to finally enjoy good bread again.” The gluten-free deliciousness doesn’t stop with bread (and brioche and hamburger buns). There are brownies studded with pecans, a glamorous raspberry topped chocolate tartlet and buttery madeleines. Upstairs, a full menu is served focused on organic ingredients. Expect light French classics like a quiche of the day, seasonal green salads, berries and balsamic dressing and scallops with fresh corn salsa and cilantro oil. With 50 percent of the menu also free of dairy, this is one spot that everyone can agree on, no matter your dietary preferences.
Jersey Tomato and Wax Bean Salad
This simple vegetarian dish began with the idea of a deconstructed pesto: Sliced tomatoes, crisp-tender wax beans and baby arugula take on new meaning when drizzled with excellent olive oil gently infused with young garlic and topped with slivered sweet basil and roasted pine nuts. This pairs well with the Grilled Chicken with Ruby Plum Compote.

A Good Wrap
Jeanne Chang isn’t your typical restaurateur. She’s got a degree in molecular biology and has been a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine and spiritual psychology. So what’s she doing hawking burritos? Her recently opened counter-service restaurant Kye’s serves what she calls “kyeritos,” a twist on the burrito that uses romaine leaves, collard green leaves and nori (toasted seaweed) as tortilla alternatives. The gluten-free, dairy-free kyerito ($9 to $14) is stuffed with wholesome fillings, including clean proteins (grass-fed beef, wild salmon and organic chicken), healthy grains, organic veggies and a variety of from-scratch sauces. Vegan and Paleo options are also available. “Every chance we get,” says Chang, “we infuse extra nutrition.” The local free-range eggs in the breakfast kyeritos are blended with spinach, the ground beef in the nori burger is mixed with chard and the shakes all have Chinese yam. Foods recognized as health promoting in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine—like goji berries, amla berries and lotus root—also find their way into many of the dishes. The ultra-portable kyerito (eat in or take ’em to go) are as tasty as they are nutritious, and that’s by design. Chang has grounded the restaurant’s philosophy in the Chinese principle of yin-yang. The yin is the nourishing aspect of the food, while the yang is “for the joy of it, for the pleasure, the happiness.” We’re beaming. Kye’s 1518 Montana Ave., Santa Monica 310-395-5937 kyesmontana.com
