Two new upcoming gluten-free classes at Bob’s Red Mill:

New to Gluten Free with Lori Sobelson! Thursday, April 19, 2012 • 5:00-6:30 p.m. Are you new to the gluten free lifestyle? Do you feel overwhelmed not knowing what is safe to eat, what products to buy, how to bake without using gluten flours? In this class Lori Sobelson, Director of Community Outreach with Bob’s Red Mill will walk you through the basic steps of converting to a gluten free lifestyle. We will discuss what it means to live a gluten free lifestyle, talk about brands you can trust, sample gluten free baked goods made from Bob’s Red Mill gluten free mixes as well as learn tips that will make your new menu planning easier. You’ll leave with a recipe packet and a better understanding of all that’s available to make your new lifestyle easy to adapt to and worth the change!

This class is specifically designed for those who are new to gluten free. It is an informational class only; no cooking demonstration will be given. Class Fee: $25.00
