Gluten Free Kitchen Skills
Gluten Free Kitchen Skills
Enhance your kitchen skills – learn how to cook tasty gluten-free food and discover delicious gluten-free recipes.
How many gluten-free flours can you name off the top of your head? Six? Twelve? In this class, trainer Melanie Leeson will introduce participants to 20 different gluten-free flours, leaving you in no doubt that your gluten-free kitchen skills will improve out of sight. That’s important, because for those unable to tolerate gluten, the search for recipes to help us create our own safe foods is seemingly never ending.
After an informative introduction to gluten-free flours and their texture, taste and how to use them, you will have the opportunity to cook a collection of Melanie’s Mettle + Grace recipes.

- Some information about Gluten –
Gluten is a type of protein found in grains including wheat, barley and rye. This protein makes up a high percentage of the amino acids found in these grains. Unfortunately, “modern wheat” is causing issues for many people around the world, but not all. The majority of wheat grains today come from a variety created in the 1960s through cross-breeding and genetic manipulation. With the aim of achieving a grain that produces a higher-yield and lower cost crop. It has snuck into a large majority of products sitting on supermarket shelves.
