Description

In this episode of Gluten-Free Unwrapped, Jenny chats with Orly Gottesman, the founder of the legendary Modern Bread and Bagel restaurants.

Modern Bread and Bagel is a 100% kosher and gluten-free bakery cafe that has become a go-to hot spot for bagels, cinnamon rolls, and more.

Orly’s journey into gluten-free baking began when her husband, Josh, was diagnosed with celiac disease. She began experimenting in the kitchen, discovered a natural talent for gluten-free baking, and pursued professional training as a pastry chef. She even launched her own line of gluten-free baking mixes.

In this episode, we explore Orly’s path from home baker to entrepreneur, the inspiration behind her most beloved creations, and the challenges and joys of building a gluten-free business in the heart of New York City.
