My name is James, and I'm fairly new to Meetup.com; however, since my passion is centered around food and great classic rock, I figured maybe there are some other people out there who cook in their kitchens while they jam out to great tunes. This is the only thing that helps me unwind and fall into a state of relaxation.  For me the music allows me to be more creative in the kitchen.  I compare a great guitar solo to those last few seconds of making a risotto, it's intense, quick, and everything …

This group is for those of us who follow a strict gluten-free diet - because we need it to stay healthy and well. The good news is that being gluten-free is getting easier all the time. There are more ready-made products in the stores, and more and more restaurants are offering gluten-free choices.
