A Delicious Life. Gourmet Eating with Food Sensitivities
2 days/2 nights
TBA, Fall 2008
Eating a wheat-free/dairy-free diet diet does not have to be bland, boring or lesser-than. This hand's-on, interactive, cooking-class style weekend will provide you with the necessary information and skills for a delicious and gourmet wheat-free/dairy-free life. At least one out of every ten people suffers from lactose intolerance. One out of every 25 people is allergic to some of the food they eat. One out of every 100 has celiac disease, requiring a completely gluten-free diet. Two out of every 100 children has either autism or attention deficit disorder -- and an increasing body of evidence shows that many of these children respond particularly well to wheat-free, dairy-free diets. Many people simply feel better, with more energy, less colds and far fewer strange maladies when they dramatically reduce the amount of wheat and dairy-products they consume. Unfortunately, this healthful choice is often viewed as "Living Without." Let us help you see how rich, rewarding and delicious this healthful choice can be -- and how easy it can be to integrate into a balanced, Western diet. Whatever your reasons for living wheat- and/or dairy-free, this weekend workshop will show you how to cook and bake fantastic wheat-free, dairy-free foods, and in the process will equip you with all the information you need for a successful -- and delicious -- wheat-free, dairy-free life.
Instructor: Susan Reifer
