I had a fantastic time teaching gluten free cooking techniques at Dorothy Lane Market Mason Culinary Center last night. Next up, I have a dessert class using fresh garden ingredients, and a light coastal lunch featuring Brazilian cheese rolls and coconut macaroons. These classes are 100% gluten free!

Dorothy Lane Market hasn't updated the description yet, but this is a GLUTEN FREE class! Get in on it while you can. Only half the seats remain.

Bake with seasonal ingredients alongside Jessica Vu in this class featuring fresh flavors, simple techniques, and creative twists on classic baked goods.

I am excited to have my partnership with the Dorothy Lane Market Culinary Center extended through the summer with two more classes on the schedule. (Stay tuned for a third class for Jr. Chefs!) All of these menus are gluten free - always.
Each class is a demonstration format with every course served for tasting. A comprehensive recipe packet is provided so students can easily replicate their favorites at home.
Here are the descriptions!

It's Lent, and Friday. A celiac's nightmare. BUT I was able to have a fantastic fiah sandwich using Schär ciabatta roll and Hook & Line fish from Costco. (The second sandwich was for my daughter - not a gluten free person - and she said it was delicious.)
