Tom Costello, owner and executive chef of Thyme, in Yorktown Heights, made some major changes in his menu after he was diagnosed with celiac disease: He removed all the gluten-containing flour from his kitchen, experimented with different gluten-free products and modified cooking practices in the kitchen. Since these changes, Thyme has seen an increasing number of diners with varying degrees of gluten intolerance. “The big challenge was engineering recipes that typically take flour, like crabcakes and eggplant parmesan,” he says. “Now I use gluten-free flours and make sure the fryer doesn’t get contaminated.”
