Rice Wraps Make Fresh – and Fun – Celiac Sammies!

The Celiac Scene’s recent post ‘Gluten-Free Wontons? Egg Rolls? Potstickers? Dumplings? Eureka! Gluten-Free Pasta Paradise Exists!‘ prompted Paula to inquire about ‘Rice Wraps’ as a gluten-free sandwich substitute. Hanna Kofman, of Sante Gluten-Free Cafe in Victoria, BC invited us to her home to teach us just how easy – and fun – it is to make this fresh, celiac sammy!
