Wholesome Bites: Allergen-Friendly Cooking
Food allergies and sensitivities are on the rise and their prevalence affects us all. Even if you do not have a food allergy yourself, you probably know someone who does, or someone who must follow certain dietary restrictions at the office or at schools to keep other people safe. Allergen-friendly eating is effortless when you have the best foods, recipes, and culinary skills to accompany you on your health journey. Cooking allergen-friendly food does not have to be difficult or stressful - you can learn to cook with ingredients that help with allergy symptoms and how to make recipes you and others can eat with confidence.
Join us for a delicious culinary nutrition experience, where you will discover how food can play a role in allergy relief, how your immune system and digestive tract are involved, as well as learn how to create delicious allergen-friendly recipes. All of the recipes are: gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, wheat-free, soy-free, peanut-free, egg-free, corn-free, and vegan.
At the end of each class, you will walk away with knowledge of how nutrition affects your body and what you can do about it, practical experience preparing nutritious meals, a reference guide of the education shared during class, and 6-8 recipes to prepare with your friends and family at home.
