This class will be a live step-by-step demonstration of preparing healthy gluten-free, vegan snacks. I will also cover a few basics about cooking without gluten while we are cooking. The snacks are gluten-free, vegan (with non-vegan options provided). The recipes do include nuts, peanuts, and coconuts, so please inform me ahead of time about allergies and I will provide substitutions. The ingredient list will be provided ahead of time. This is the first class in a series on gluten-free and vegan cooking. I’m thrilled to offer this class as I know how much children enjoy cooking and helping in the kitchen. Cooking is a fun and motivating way for kids to feel accomplished. I am severely intolerant to gluten and have been cooking gluten-free for a decade and have been mostly vegan for 5 years. I'm skilled at preparing gluten free food with both vegan and non-vegan options. As of 1/18/2020, I need to have a minimum of 3 students to run this class. Unfortunately, I will have to cancel the class if the enrollment is less than 3 students. Thank you for understanding.
Learning Goals
1. Students will learn some tips about gluten-free and vegan cooking.
2. Students will learn to measure, combine and assemble ingredients to create snacks.
3. Students will be guided to think of creative variations of the snacks prepared.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a neuroscientist and educator. I enjoy teaching children about science - in particular, how science connects the world around us in ways we don't often think about. I try to encourage children to get excited about learning new concepts and to apply them in different situations. I teach classes on neuroscience, animal cognition, public health, and biology. I also enjoy hosting classes on Star Wars, and special topics of interest, mostly as requested by my own students!
I do animal research in the fields of neuroscience and psychiatry. I have 3 Master degrees - Clinical Psychology, Biopsychology, and Neuroscience. I completed my Masters (MS) and doctorate (Ph.D.) in Neuropharmacology from Texas Christian University and University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC). I then did two postdoctoral fellowships in Neuropsychopharmacology at Harvard Medical School. I was a university professor before joining a global pharmaceutical company.
My teaching philosophy is simple - I try to encourage children to be independent thinkers and to find connections in life about them. This will help them stay excited about learning and be life-long learners.Reviews
