Whether you are a complete beginner or an accomplished cook wanting to add to your recipe repertoire, our cooking classes will give you the confidence to create delicious gluten free dishes in your own home.
Our recipes are designed with the home cook in mind, utilizing budget-friendly ingredients and common kitchen equipment. All recipes are gluten free and are also wheat, soy, potato and nut flour free (unless making a specific recipe using almond flour or peanuts). Sometimes our recipes are also dairy or egg free and this will be noted for each individual class.
Our classes are typically held locally in our home town of Tauranga, New Zealand.
