Bread
Let's get one thing clear. There is nothing you can buy (that I know of) that is even remotely comparable to fresh bread. Nothing. The closest I have experienced so far is making my own bread (with a bread maker), just when it comes out of the machine. On the other hand, most of the gluten-free bread make excellent toast.
I have become attached to the Glutino brand for bread, as well as for the flours. I especially like the raisin bread.

(on a side note, it seems Glutino lets you order products online. I'll let you know how that works out)
Other brands I've tried:
I quite like(d) Sterk's Bakery italian bread. Donuts (especially reheated) weren't bad either. I found it at Rainbow Foods (on Richmond at Carling) but I have now moved away from that area so it's less convenient for me to go there. The other reason for the switch is the more "professional" image Glutino projects. I was harboring some uncertainty about the extent of gluten-freedom of the Sterks' because for a long while I was experiencing some intestinal problems for which I couldn't pin down the cause. I haven't had problems since switching to the Glutino breads and flours. Comments welcome on this one.
I can find the Glutino Breads frozen at the natural food store in Westgate mall. Some of the flours can be found at the super Loblaws on Richmond (at Kirkwood), but a more complete selection of flours can be found at La Boite a Grains in Gatineau (St-Joseph just north of the exit to the casino).

Sterk's Bakery is only Gluten-Free. I have visited their facilty frequently and haven't seen anything that would suggest otherwise. Plus thier products have been tested and results came back to be 100% Gluten-Free. Should you have further concerns about thier products please contact them instead of posting uncertainty on the web.
Um. Hello. This is a blog. She can say whatever she wants about anything she wants! Seriously!
I tried Genius bread in Montreal that is gluten free. It was delicious bread but can not find that bread in Ottawa. Any suggestion?
