About the workshops

All of the workshops take place in professional teaching kitchens, which are well equipped and tailored for students.  The workshops combine hands on practical work with demonstrations.  My teaching ethos is about sharing the knowledge and giving students a good understanding of how and why things work.  Many of the techniques used are based on many years of experience working with gluten free flours and developing recipes. My workshops are designed to be interactive and I encourage you to ask questions. My objective is to  give you the confidence to bake gluten free at home and at work!  

Please note that all workshops are suitable for both experienced cooks and bakers and those who are complete beginners.  These workshops are for adults only although children ages 16 and over will be considered but they must be accompanied by a fee paying adult.  

Many of the the kitchens are also equipped for special needs and disabled facilities are available. 

If you have other dietary request in addition to gluten free, please make sure you contact the school and make them aware of this.  We will always do our best to accomodate special dietary requests, but can only do so if you advise us in advance.

For full course descriptions about menus for each of the courses, please look on the designated website.  This will contain the most up to date information and will describe what each course involves.
