A twist on the cracker game By Carolyn Neff When I attended the San Mateo Nourished Festival as an official blogger last November, I was pleased to find Cult Crackers, which popped out of the crowded field of gluten-free products with enticing taste, versatility and exceptional nutrition. I met the co-founders and quickly learned that they care about avoiding cross-contact as much as I do. Fortunately for me, the Cult HQ just happens to be blocks from my apartment, so I requested a tour of their dedicated gluten-free kitchen to learn more about their high-quality crackers, which also happen...
