An elimination diet removes all potential food allergens from the diet, and then re-introduces these foods one at a time, allowing you to identify those foods that might be slowing you down and keeping you from your optimum health. Ali will prepare tasty examples of main dishes, soups, stews, sauces, and snacks that can be used as part of an elimination diet.

So many gluten-free recipes focus on leaving out the gluten and forget about the nutrition. During this class we will explore the realm of making gluten-free baked goods nutritious. Different flours give different results in the same recipe so we will discuss the properties of the wide range of whole grain flours available such as teff, sorghum, millet, buckwheat, and more. Equally important is the type of sweetener used. We will discuss how natural sweeteners such as maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, or maple sugar can replace cane sugar in recipes. Recipes include Apple Crisp, Lemon Teacake, Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Cookies, Rosemary Sea Salt Breadsticks, Whole Grain Pizza Crust, and more. Vegetarian. No gluten, dairy, eggs, or soy.
