My Gluten Free Credentials

If you have not met me before, I am a British born, award winning chef/instructor, with a Culinary Arts degree, trained in London and Switzerland. Though I am not gluten intolerant, my son is now gluten and lactose intolerant and I also cook for friends who are. I am currently adapting my favorite baked goods to be gluten free, since doing without bread, muffins, brownies, pizza etc is the most difficult part of being gluten intolerant. I recently catered a party where almost all 15 dishes were gluten free.

I am committee chair for Milford High School's Regional Technical Center Culinary Arts Department. I am a member of the Culinary Arts Committee for Pinkerton Academy.

Gluten Free treats that I've created

I currently make these good gluten free foods from scratch:

bread scones
brownies muffins
apple cake raspberry almond tart
pancakes Belgian waffles
chocolate cookies socca bread
chocolate pecan indulgence frozen Snow Queen meringue dessert
pavlova flourless chocolate cake
pound cake cream caramel
cream puffs cheesecakes
granola bars Kahl�a chocolate cake with Kahl�a chocolate ganache
quiches Asian summer rolls.

I continue to create, adapt and test more gluten free recipes. My current projects include creating gluten free pasta and ladyfingers for tiramisu. For a client, I'm working on creating gluten free Filo pastry.

In June, for the girls night out at Just Naturals/Farmers Market in Salzburg Square, I made gluten free carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, GF brownies devoured by regular wheat eaters, naturally gluten free cashew nut and roasted red pepper hummus that I served with my GF bread. I had made my bread into mini loaves and once cooked they cut into slices that looked like the cocktail breads Pepperidge Farm make. I then toasted the thin slices to form croutes (like French Bread croutes) for the hummus.

Future Gluten Free Seminars and Events

I have given fun public cooking classes for ten years, at local libraries, high schools, senior centers and kitchen design stores. Here's an outline of the gluten free classes and seminars that I am now working on:
  • Business and Professional Women's (BPW) Association in Londonderry in September 2009.
  • Continuing a series of Saturday baking classes at Milford High School's culinary arts department with gluten free baked goods. Scheduled for 24 October 2009.
  • Halloween Wine and Cheese Event at Vintner's Cellar Winery on Tuesday 27 October, all but one dish will be naturally gluten free.
  • I will be making a gluten free Halloween Dessert on WMUR's Cooks Corner on Friday 30 October, 2009.
  • I will be giving a gluten free demo and presentation, with samples, at Nashua Public Library on Thursday November 12, 2009

  • I am currently confirming dates for demos/presentations with additional health centers and libraries.

Gluten Free appearances on TV shows

I have appeared many times, over the last ten years, on our local ABC TV affiliate WMUR-TV 's "Cooks Corner". My latest appearances have all featured gluten free dishes and are also on YouTube (click here to see them). Most recently, I made a naturally Gluten Free Shrimp and Quinoa Salad with a herb vinaigrette and lots of fresh vegetables.

Gluten Free training for families with Autism

I have been asked to work with Autism groups (mothers) to help them with food for their autistic children. Current thinking is that a gluten free and totally dairy (casein) free diet can make major improvements without medications.

Gluten Free training in your home

I advise people in their homes, with:
  • How to make the kitchen a gluten free zone
  • How to avoid cross-contamination
  • How to read labels and make informed supermarket trips
  • Private Gluten Free cooking classes
  • Catering Gluten Free dinner parties
