Whole Foods Cupertino offers such interesting classes in their Culinary Center. This week I took two, a Gluten Free tour of the store and an International cooking class.
I learned that gluten is in a lot more things that I thought! Not that I plan to go gluten free anytime soon, but there is so much interest in it these days, I wanted to find out more. It turns out, if you are super sensitive to gluten, besides the normal stuff, you need to be careful with caramel coloring, seasonings, latex gloves and even the glue on stamps!
For the International Cooking class, we used recipes from x all over the world from people, who received microloans from Whole Foods. We made a Thai Soup, a Mango tea bread, Quinoa drink and a beans and rice dish. We had a lot of fun and got to sample a lot of tasty food too. As always, the Culinary Center director, Jamie, was there to guide us through the recipes, and we end up learning a lot of tips and tricks.
