Tired of tasteless recipes that don't work out? Tired of spending lots of time and money making these things?
I have been creating and researching new gluten free cooking methods for 6 years and teaching for 4. I have taught over 300 classes.

Upon graduating from class participants no longer make two meals and no longer cheat on the diet. A real sense of fun and inspiration is truly absorbed. Flours make sense and nutrition is put first. Cravings are satisfied. Shortcuts to managing your kitchen and shopping are explored.

And the best part according to Alec is that the recipes taste amazing....better than most food he's ever eaten.

My cookbook will have it's launch in Dallas Texas in November. Until then I continue to teach from my gourmet kitchen in the Glebe in Ottawa and can be found at pce@magma.ca or 613-237-1515 www.thejoyofglutenfree.blogspot.com

Next session runs this summer Mon/Wed evening from 6:30-9:00pm. 6 classes are $200. and include all food costs for about 40 recipes. You must pre-register. We will start class as soon as we have enough registrants. Sessions include: Appetizers, Breakfast, Dinner/pasta, Breads/pizza, Cakes and cookies, Desserts. The first 4 include bread type items in each class. We work around the issues of dairy and egg intolerances. I will be previewing a new egg substitute in a banana raspberry loaf for breakfast. Fish and Chips, ravioli and many yeast breads will be on the menus. Gravy/pastry/white sauces. Essentially everything you will need to know to substitute your own recipes and your own kitchen.

Take the trial and error out of g/f cooking. Meet a group of really inspiring people and create delicious food that you will never know is gluten free.

Thank you to all students, you have been such an inspiration over the years to make things better and better and better. We have solved so many technical cooking issues together that I am forever in your debt.

Bread tips #1

When fluffy bread collapses when you are baking with yeast: Most gf breads require more yeast and water than their non-gf counterparts. As such the yeast rises higher and can not support the weight of the water content in the bread. If the bread is collapsing in on itself or shrinking it most likely needs to rise for less time and have a bit less water in it.

Summer Cooking Classes

6 classes - Mon/Wed. 6:30-9:00pm for 3 weeks. $200. includes food materials and instruction for about 40 recipes.
