What does a classically-trained French pastry chef do when she’s diagnosed with Celiac Disease? That was the question Lila Colello had to answer for herself, eight years ago.
You can see for yourself what Colello decided to do with the rest of her life if you visit the Pinwheel Provisions store in Narberth.
Starting Wednesday (June 30), and continuing every Wednesday and Saturday until August 7, Colello’s company, Flakely, will be taking over the entire Pinwheel store, which is located on Narberth Avenue, a few doors north of the movie theater.
Flakely’s tagline on their website reads french pastry & artisan breads, reimagined. gluten free.
Before she was a gluten-free French pastry chef, Colello was a not-gluten-free French pastry chef. She trained at the French Culinary Institute in New York and went on to work at Wolfgang Puck, The Ritz and the Food Network.
While all of the baked goods from Flakely are gluten-free, they are not vegan. Says Colello, “butter is best.”
The menu at the Flakely pop-up store in Narberth will change every Wednesday and Saturday. On Wednesday, June 30, here’s what she’ll be offering.
Hi. Do you do any sending of your breads and yummy breads? I live almost 2 hours from your store.
Thanks Kyle
I’ll visit your store. I have celiac and know what you went through.
