Chef Simone Shifnadel hopes to open San Francisco’s first gluten-free shared kitchen, and she’s launched a fundraising page at Kickstarter.com to make it happen.

Chef Shifnadel came up with the idea based on her experience with non-celiac gluten sensitivity. She wished to turn her catering company into a 100% gluten-free enterprise, and she realized that other gluten-free bakers and caterers would benefit from having a dedicated gluten-free kitchen to share.

Using Kickstarter.com, Chef Shifnadel set up a page to raise $30,000 to fund the development of this kitchen. With 9 days left until the fundraiser expires, she is 40% of the way to her goal.
