This is a heads up to our readers in New York. It looks like Chef Richard Coppedge, a Certified Master Baker with the Culinary Institute of America, is hosting a couple gluten free baking courses on November 1, 2008, and December 13, 2008. The course will go the entire Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and will cost $325.00 per person.
According to their announcement post:
The baking class will present crucial dietary information as well as sweet and savory recipes straight from the pages of Chef Coppedge’s just-released cookbook, Gluten-Free Baking. The book explains how one can enjoy delicious favorites prepared without gluten-containing grains, such as yeast-raised breads and pastries, cookies, brownies, cakes, pies, quiche, and pizza. Class participants will discuss and utilize unique gluten-free flour blends, and learn baking techniques that are both comprehensive and easy to master.
In addition to extensive hands-on baking instruction, students will receive an autographed copy of Chef Coppedge’s book, Gluten-Free Baking, as well as both a continental breakfast and light lunch.
At the end of the class, there will be a specially prepared gluten-free dinner, featuring such dishes as polenta lasagna, roasted pork loin, grilled salmon, quinoa, and seasonal local vegetables with a complimentary glass of wine. Students may invite a guest to dinner for an additional $55 per person.
If you are interested in this event, you can call (800) 888-7850 with additional questions.








wondering if there are plans for the gluten-free baking class to be offered again in January or February?
Also – would be interested if it will be offered on a day other than saturday?
Hey Betsy
I don’t know where you are located but there are a number of places all over Illinois that offer gluten free cooking and baking classes.
I would also recommend contacting GlutenFreeClasses.com, they might be able to direct you to something in your area.
Good luck!
