Learning Needs
This class has step-by-step directions on the recipe cards and in the videos. The instructor is a former teacher and believes all students benefit from explicit steps in any task, including cooking.
Parental Guidance
This is a baking class, so your child may need help with measuring and finding all ingredients. As they will also be using an oven and possibly a mixer, adult supervision and support is recommended.
This class does use ingredients that students may have allergies to, including dairy and eggs. As it is a gluten-free baking class there is no wheat.
Pre-Requisites
Students should be familiar with ingredients, measuring cups and spoons, and following a recipe. If they are not, they will need adult help for more of the cooking.

Teacher expertise and credentials
As a person with celiac, a lot of the information I will share is what I've learned works well when using gluten-free flour. I know how isolating it can be to attend holiday events, or any event, and not have food you can eat. This class will help your child feel confident in making delicious fall recipes for themselves, family members who are gluten-free, or even better a friend who has to avoid gluten. Reviews
