You don’t have to have Celiac disease to be gluten intolerant or just have a desire to experiment with gluten-free cooking. With your professional chef in Florence, learn the secrets of a successful and delicious gluten-free Italian meal in a fun and convivial environment. With so many of Italy’s dishes already gluten-free your chef will tell you about the benefits of having at least some of your dishes or meals without gluten.

Class description

Who is the gluten free course for?

MaMa Florence’s gluten-free cooking class is not just dedicated for those who suffer from gluten sensitivity or coeliac disease, but also for those who live with people following a gluten-free diet or are just curious about how to reduce the gluten they are currently consuming.

Your expert Italian florentine chef will provide you with useful information about gluten-free ingredients, their nutritional and organoleptic characteristics, how to select them and of course give you important tips on how to avoid cross contamination with gluten during meal preparation.

What will be taught in the gluten-free cooking class?

You'll learn how to prepare various dishes with naturally gluten-free rice, millet, corn, amaranth, quinoa, and how to turn them into rich and flavorful dishes. As you make your way through an entire Tuscan menu, from appetizer to dessert, you will learn about how to substitute gluten-free ingredients in the place of regular ingredients to ensure a rich and varied gluten-free diet.

There are so many wonderful naturally gluten-free ingredients that we choose not to use industrially prepared premixed gluten-free flours or mixes. Your chef will show you how to make everything you need for a scrumptious gluten-free meal from scratch! Of course please do let us know ahead of time if you have any special requests or other dietary needs and we are happy to accommodate you.

I recently took the Gluten Free Mama Florence course and was extremely impressed with the quality of the content and instruction. The course is taught by Mama Florence, a professional chef with years of experience in gluten-free cooking. She is knowledgeable, patient, and has a great sense of humor, which made the class enjoyable and easy to follow. The course covers a wide range of topics, including how to identify gluten, how to prepare gluten-free meals, and how to create delicious gluten-free desserts. Mama Florence also provides tips and tricks for living a gluten-free lifestyle and shares her own personal experiences with gluten intolerance.

One of the things I appreciated most about the course was the variety of recipes and techniques that were taught. We made everything from pasta and pizza to bread and pastries, and I was amazed at how delicious and indistinguishable from their gluten-containing counterparts the gluten-free versions were.
