Wow!
The time really flies when the kiddos are out of school!
I just realized that,once again, summertime cooking classes are upon me!
Next week is my
adult picnic class for Whatcom Community College.
The Picnic Basket: Light, Luscious and Gluten-Free! |
| The warm days of summer are just around the corner, and that means packing your picnic basket for a day at the park or the beach! But what if you or someone you know is celiac or gluten-intolerant? In this class, Dr. Jean Layton, chef and naturopathic physician, will present recipes that are gluten-free, casein-free, low in fat, and oh so tasty--perfect for your summer outings. Her menu: a lovely lemony tofu spread with chickpea-sesame crackers, a poached salmon salad with dill mustard sauce over leafy greens--complete with gluten-free bread croutons, and the sweet ending--luscious chocolate meringue sandwiches served with raspberries and seasonal fruits on the side. Kelle Rankin-Sunter of the Bellingham Gluten Intolerance Group will join Dr. Jean for a great discussion of delicious picnic fare for gluten-free living. Class is held at Pacific Chef. |
Although with today's steady rain, I might reconsider the idea of a picnic.
Then in late July and August I'll be doing my kids cooking series at the
Community Food Coop.
