Gluten Free Cooking Classes for Thanksgiving at Bibi’s Patisserie
Thanksgiving usually means family, fun and FOOD!! But if you’re newly gluten free, it can be a stressful time. You might still have questions about what you can eat, and you might not have any idea how to make your favorite Thanksgiving dishes gluten free. I totally understand. My first gluten free Thanksgiving, I sat down to plain chicken and mashed potatoes. Not the feast I was used to.
Thankfully, Louisiana is filled with gluten free resources, including gluten free cooking and baking classes at Bibi’s Patisserie in Lafayette. This month Bibi’s will be offering two Thanksgiving classes, one to teach you how to make your favorite sides gluten free, and one to teach you some favorite family desserts.
All the dishes you make will also be egg, dairy and sugar free and vegan, so you’ll be able to fit lots of special diets around your table. My own extended family includes gluten free, diabetics and vegetarians. It going to be nice to have something for everyone.
The three hour classes include personalized instruction from Bibi’s head chef Hannah Ellaham-Raffel. She’s well known gluten free expert and you’ll have a chance to ask her questions about being gluten free and gluten free cooking techniques. You’ll also get to eat all your creations along with free wine or sparkling water, take home the recipes and a treat!
The classes, including food and wine, are only $65/person or $99/couple, so they’d make an excellent girl’s night out or date night activity. They do fill up quickly, so if you’re interested, contact Bibi’s at 337-534-0173 or on their website.
