417: Paras Gore - Atelier Doux Bakery

Paras Gore's three nephews used to sit through family birthdays and holidays with two or three Oreos each – the only thing on the table that wouldn't send them to the emergency room. So she put her organic chemistry background to work and started rebuilding dessert from the ground up. Today, Atelier Doux is an allergy-friendly bakery serving the Lake Norman and Charlotte area, and those brownies have a cult following.Paras joins Jeff to talk about what it takes to run a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, why cross-contamination is a genuine emergency-room risk and not a food fad, how she went from taking extras to the office to hiring her first employee in under six months, and where you can find her – from Kunu Coffee and the Davidson Farmers Market to the fall lineup dropping August 25.https://www.atelierdoux.com/Get the Lake Norman Visitors Guide!Hosted by:Jeff Hammwww.lknreal.comSupport the show
