Gluten Free Cooking

Led by nutritionist and gluten-free expert Naomi Devlin, this Gluten Free cookery course will teach you how to cook tasty gluten-free recipes.

Course overview

Starting with a comprehensive talk through the grains and binders that we use on the course and alternatives for students from around the world, Naomi will then demonstrate home milling, so you can create your own fresh flours from scratch. Of course, you can also buy flours already milled. We finish the lesson with a demonstration of a simple home ferment for easily digestible crepes, that you can have fun customising with your own gluten free grains.

You'll need:

Your lesson notes will include the full details of the ingredients you'll need, but you will be making gluten free recipes, so you'll need standard kitchen equipment.

*The gluten-free ingredients used during the online course include: cocoa, millet, buckwheat, quinoa, sunflower seeds, hazelnut, and chestnut. The course may not be suitable for a grain-free diet, although buckwheat and quinoa are considered pseudo grains and millet is the only true grain flour used.

The course is suitable for a low FODMAP diet as long as hazelnuts or other low FODMAP nuts are used in place of sunflower and pumpkin seeds.

Please let us know if you have an egg intolerance so that we can chat to you in the online classroom about this.

Dairy free options are given with all recipes, although they may not be demonstrated, you will easily be able to make those substitutions yourself at home.
