what student's are saying about the cooking classes!!

"I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your Gluten Free Goes Mainstream Cooking Classes this past Fall. In fact, it was sensational! Your recipes are sensational and for the first time, I feel truly inspired to cook gluten free foods for my son and for myself. I have searched high and low to find recipes that even remotely compare to some of the best non gluten free foods. I have also purchased gluten free products from grocery stores along with specialty bakeries. I have been disappointed until now. With your recipes, I don't miss my favourite foods (neither does my son) because your recipes are comparable and equally if not more flavourful. My 7 year old son along with my whole family really enjoy the foods that I have prepared for them based on your recipes and techniques. Better yet, your recipes are also straight forward and user friendly which is a huge bonus. They are not overly time consuming as with many gluten free foods. Thank you for bringing us these recipes and tips and I really look forward to your upcoming cookbook for more (in fact, I can't wait) along with any future events that you might organize.

Thanks again for a great course and awesome gluten free recipes."

bake sale results - like WOW

We did amazing at the bakesale in Hintonberg on Mother's Day despite freezing temperatures. CBC radio host boasted the lemon bread as the best she had ever tasted. Big news was that we did not advertise the products as being gluten free. For those that would have known, there was a spot at the bottom of the menu that said: "mastering the art of g/f cooking" and the blog below it. A few people were actually jumping for joy that all of the yummies were gluten free and nut free. We had stuff for those vegan and those dairy free as well. All met with tremendous success and we sold out of literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of baked items in a mere four hours. Thank you to all!!!! Next venue: Main St. Farmer's Market - Saturday May 22. See you there. Pre-order with our email link. Will post the menu soon.

First Gluten-Free Bake Sale

For the first time ever I am going to be at the Ottawa - Parkdale Market selling baked goods:

"In the past ArtsPark has been visited by more than 3000 people each year. This year ArtsPark will be held once again at the Parkdale Market Park on May 9th (Mother’s Day) from 10:00-4:00. It will highlight the best of the Hintonburg QUAD arts district, including an invitational art show, children’s theatre and art activities, poetry, craft and food vendors and performance by local musicians."

The menu:

brownies $2.sm. or $3.lg.
lemon bread $2. slice
ginger snap cookies $.50
chocolate chip cookies $1.50
sugar cookies $1.
carrot cake with cream cheese icing $3.
vegan chocolate cupcakes with chocolate glaze $2.50

If you are planning on buying more than one item, please bring a container as this is the first time and we are not sure what to expect as far as sales. I gaurantee you they will be the best of anything you have ever tasted and rival any wheat version of the same. A sign up sheet will be available for news letters, notices of the release of the up and coming cookbook and cooking classes and to anyone who is interested in having baking done for them on a regular basis. See you there!!!
